Or at least a warning for the first offence. The chief should issue a warning and chalk it up to a story he could tell his buddys at the bar. Why spend time investigating. If they were warned and they continued doing it then further disipline is required. Or if you can't beat them join them!

Come Daddy! Can I push the siren while his drilling my tooth.

This winter is so mild compared to some winters past. I think we have been pretty lucky. The storm has been hitting just right, at night.

Is it a big deal? If its consensual and its not in public then its not as bad as they are making it.whats up with the month of investigations. I can understand that Chief doesn't like(upset she said NO!!! hahaha),but tell them to keep it out of the firehouse and on there own time.

Nice! Really Funny!

Burning Manure Pile in Nebraska Goes Out MILFORD, Neb. (AP) -- It took nearly four months, but to the relief of neighbors miles around, a burning manure pile has been extinguished. David Dickinson, owner and manager of Midwest Feeding Co., said Wednesday that several weeks of pulling the 2,000-ton pile apart proved effective by late last week. "We got far enough through it, that it quit," Dickinson said. Dickinson's feedlot, about 20 miles west of Lincoln, takes in as many as 12,000 cows at a time from farmers and ranchers and fattens them for market. Byproducts from the massive operation resulted in a dung pile measuring 100 feet long, 30 feet high and 50 feet wide. Heat from the decomposing manure deep inside the pile is believed to have eventually ignited the manure. The Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality told Dickinson that his smoldering dung pile violated clean-air laws and it worked with him as tried to extinguish it. Huge feedlots have become commonplace, and dung fires have occurred around the country. Dickinson said his pile may have been ignited in part because of grass clippings his feedlot had been accepting from the city of Milford. The clippings could be more combustible and he plans to stop accepting them, Dickinson said.

Its funny sometimes when you watch from the other side. I have sat watched another department at a car fire (fully engulfed) with no SCBA. To them its normal until some gets hurt.

Maybe it hasn't happen here or more specifically, "my department" because we did learn from there mistakes. We do act responsible and are more mature not to respond to an alarm. I think more along the lines that it happened there it could happen here. We are professional but like in any profession you have bad seeds. They should be dealt with individaully.

What did they come for?

In Lake Carmel we bid every year which is open to the members. That person have a contract and is ok'd by the board of directors. The contract is yearly and in the contract. He does a good job between both of the firehouses making sure walkways and stairways are shoveled.

If you look at the most of the reports, Alot of the drivers came from a bar. Somewhere that no one could have said "you can't go". Andee Huber was a junior that died in a rollover tanker accident while enroute to a brush fire. The driver was at a bar 2 blocks away. A "clubroom" in a firehouse is a touchy subject. There rules and regulations and LAWS that have to followed. Its up to the members to make sure the rules are followed. If the rule is abused or broken then they lose the previlage of the clubroom. Just because there are a few incidents out of the hundreds of thousand of firefighters and firehouses that everybody should be punished.

Simply Awesome! Is he a volly also? Thats sounds like that is exactly what he needed.

Awesome drill today (2/27/05)at the Putnam Training center. Brewster, Lake Carmel and Kent participated in a FAST drill which entailed several evolutions. We did a few attic rescues and hoisting out of window via ladder and by Brewsters Ladder Truck. We did have a few communication issues but that was worked out. The teams learned to work together and we all saw the others teams techniques. There has been a few structure fire in our area recently where Brewster and Lake Carmel and combined ourselves as FAST late in a call because no team responded or the IC wanted to put the other team in service because the call was winding down. I look foward to more training with them and hopefully Mahopac Falls Team.

Didn't something happen like this in Rye FD afew years ago. The kid was in an accident. I don't think they sold to him, but gave it to him at a party. Not sure what happen to the FF.

IF THAT OLD HAG CALLS ME "WENDY" ONE MORE TIME...I SWEAR I'LL....................AAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Update.... 18:12hrs - 299.3---Damn!

Just sitting looking at the abundance of snow and I am getting cabin fever. I hit the Camper show in Rockland this past weekend and now I have the itch. "Bring on the warmer weather so we can go Camping." So who here in EMTBravo land goes camping? Where is your favorite place? What do you camp in; Trailer, tent, pop-up, etc.? The guys in my firehouse and I go all the time from the 1st weekend in April to Labor day. We go KOA in Newburgh a few times a year, Lake George and a place called Petersburg up Route 22 Near Vermont.

Is that foam coming out of your mouth or are you just happy to see us?

How 'bout them "SHOOTERS"? How many and what flavors? YYYYYUUUMMMM, shooters!!

I think if we did this we would never get the ambulance out. There are alot of times the rescue will sit filled with ff's and the ambulance sits with nobody or just an EMT. The officer would have to pull somebody off the rescue to go on to the ambulance. So, I could just imagine what would happen on ever EMS call.

You have hit the nail right on the head. Type it up and send it out to all the departments in our area. Have the Chiefs sign off on it that they understand.

We did a drill during this past fall, removing victims from a truck. we used our 2500 gal tanker and did our basic size-up, chock the wheels and removed the victim(assist ems). You get alot out of such a simple drill. We always train for the worst and overlook the simply things. Good Topic.
