Posting & Discussing LODD's On This Forum

[EMTbravo 312]

Members,

We ask you to review our policy on posting LODD's on this forum, which will explain why we hold off on posting LODD's:

http://www.emtbravo.net/index.php?showtopic=9889

As far as posting names after the PRESS releases it, as Truck4 has pointed out in the past, despite what the Journal News, News 12, or any other outlet posts, it may not be correct, as has happened in the past. Additionally, we don't agree with them posting names before all the family can be notified.

We also feel that discussing the incident, speculation on what happened, etc, is not appropriate. Families may (and do) read this forum, and this is not the respectable way or time to discuss the details of the incident. Nor is it respectful to Tarrytown Firefighters at this sensitive time. However, due to the nature of the incident and lessons learned that can potentially save a firefighters life in the future, we ask you to hold off on discussion for a few weeks.

Although some have criticized our policy, this policy was developed and honed over the 7 years of running this forum and previous situtions. Again, we ask you to review our LODD posting policy:

It IS appropriate to post condolences (when the time is right as explained above), and wake and funeral information when it is available.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any concerns or questions via EMAIL at seth@emtbravo.com

We appreciate everyone's cooperation.

On behalf of Seth G, Truck4, Chris192 and the EMTBravo management team

Sounds fair and straight forward to me. Good policy.
