Thanks alot JBE you are most certainly a fountain of knowledge.

Thanx JBE, that was a lot of info. One more question though. What happens if say, E72 is sent out on the first alarm, would the next closest satellite be called for the 2nd alarm since the manpower of Sat 2 is already operating on the first alarm.

How often do the sat's go out and who mans them? I'm almost positive they only have a two man cab, so when its determined that a sat unit is needed, does manpower from the engine cover the sat or are there guys who job is specifically to man the sat? Thanx

actually, now that i am thinking from what I understand, FDNY ordered ten (10) yellow macks and one (1) yellow ALF. Above there are 12 companies listed, with E65 being the ALF. Are there more than 10 because a truck was transfered to a different co? I know 263 ran a yellow Mack. Above it says 236 had one too. Is that just a typo or did something else happen. JBE, I remember in a post early this year, you said that 236 was totaled in an accident, does this affect the numbers in any way? Thanx for the info!

Izzy, If could please let me know about arrangements I would really appreciate it because I would definately try to make since I'm going to school in Hamden. Sorry on the loss of your friend. I'm sure he will be greatly missed, he sounds like an awesome guy. Andrew

well, if one of those bad boys gets stuck, better get stiloskis on the phone

This looks like a helicopter that would be used during forest fires to help create a fire line. Can any body tell me what this is? Break.com http://my.break.com/Media/View.aspx?ContentID=161666

Fire on the third floor of a house. FD appeared to knock it down pretty quickly. Quality gets a little rough towards the end. Again, break.com. http://my.break.com/Media/View.aspx?ContentID=161775

FF's attempt to extinguish a pick up fire when they hit magnesium with the hose and a small explosion occurs. Another video off of break.com. http://my.break.com/Media/View.aspx?ContentID=164094

Here is a video off of break.com. It is a video if firefighters battling a tanker full of stirene (not sure I spelled it right). This could've ended a lot worse than it did. I'm not sure where the video was shot, but its definately not from the US. http://www.break.com/movies/tankblow1.html

when you shoot, you shoot to kill!!! an if all ten did fire, that is a small number of bullets. why wasnt he taken in alive? you have to be kidding me.

My thoughts and prayers do out the firefighters' families as well as the BCFD.

I visited the academy in late august with my explorer post. I do believe that there is a 2nd agility test, but I may mistaken (so dont be mad if I'm wrong =)) Good Luck when you go, its pretty brutal up there.

The old Washington Eng is being donated to a department in Tennessee
