What do you use as reference material?

[Guest]

Obviously the internet is a huge reference resource, and more E.C.C’s. have access these days. What www sites does everyone use as reference material at work? (PD or FD) Does anyone not have www access? He is my list:

I like the online form that Orange/Rockland utilities uses to report emergencies. Looks real easy to report numerous trouble spots at once. On this side of the river you call the Con Ed control room. When its busy they don't always answer right away. They just get overloaded.

As far as reference material goes. I use a one stop, complete source, inter-departmental web page. It was designed by one of our guys, it works real well.
