2010 Run Totals

[Guest 29-Indigo]

Just curious how many calls your FD / EMS did in 2010. From what it seemed like listening to the scanner and reading the Incident Alerts here, it was a busy year in Westchester.

Happy New Year, be safe in 2011!

I guess I'll get the ball rolling...

Croton FD - 469 Calls (up from 329 in 2009).

GOOD WORK,CAP. Congratulate the Southern Command staff for me. Virginia Division had:

2 Water conditions

1-assist beekeeper

1 structure fire (burned circuit breakers. internal failure) We used to call that "fire within a structure, not affecting the structure."

Total 4 runs, maybe more, but I forget.

Wow chief you caught a job! Sweet....

Ugh.....one question though...assist beekeeper? How did you determine where the hot zone ended to safely establish a CP?

(If you believe this question puts you on the spot, please feel free to Pm me your answer...)

I apologize to our fellow members for the silliness.... and now back to our regularly scheduled programming..

That's 3.75 AHW or multiple alarmer per month...

Multiple choice question:

What does NRFD send on a .75 AHW or multiple alarm fire?

1. a booster tank 3/4's full

2. 3/4 length coats

3. three men on a rig when you should have four

4. A 3/4's disability retirement

Hint: 3 of the 4 answers are not even 75 percent correct.

Answer: #3 of 4

I don't know if those numbers justifies a Command Aid (driver). Looks like you'll be doing your own NIFRS. Oh that's right you turf off your NIFRS to the neighboring department on the duel response calls!!!!! So I guess you'll be able to handle it.

Swarm of estimated 50,000 honeybees in my son's tree (of course he was at work and had already called beekeepers) FYI BEEKEEPERS ARE FREE. THEY CAPTURE THE SWARM AND TAKE IT TO THEIR BUSINESS FOR FERTILIZING CROPS.

2172 came out of retirement and established command. Beekepers arrived and hot /cold zones established by Command after consultation with beekeepers. Check it out...ICS provides for "Technical Specialists" under the Plannning Section. Since no Planning Section was established, the specialists report directly to the IC. ICS is for EVERYTHING!

Swarm was in lightweight branches, unable to take the weight of a straight ladder so the beekeeper could not get into a position to box the swarm and cut the branch. I enlisted a neighbor, a Ches.FD Capt. to put a 8ft stepladder in the bde of his pickup so the beekeeper could reach the needed height. The Capt stayed in his truck, windows up until cleared by the beekeeper. The Capt was considered an "Assisting Agency" as opposed to the specialists. He comes under Liason.

I learned something that day, so I went home and was done for the day. Hopefully, people will read this will learn a few things.

Not bad IC'ing for a retired guy, eh, helicopper?

The New York City Fire Department made a record number of emergency responses this year, as dramatic staffing cuts loom in 2011. Firefighters responded to more than 500,000 emergencies this year. That's the most in the department's 145-year history.

Story by NY1

[Guest DaGonz]

The Marlborough Fire Department (MA) responded to 6,014 incidents in 2010.. a new record for us.

When I got on the job in 1981, 2500 runs a year was the average.

Did you file your 215A with the Safety Officer before the operational peroid?

[ONLOCATION 24]

Millwood approx 280 (most calls in dept history)

Ossining approx 525

It appears your health has returned. Hopefully it won't be long before your ability to tell a funny joke does too.

Well I've heard some "stories" in my day, but this one just breaks new ground. You honestly expect us to believe that the Captain falls under Liaison in this scenario.....C'mon Chief. You had me until you threw that in there.

Is it true that the Fire Commissioner came up with another revenue idea; the mayor is gonna do midget wrestling and give up his share of the gate to keep the 5th man....

Back in the days when a Marlborough Man was a Marlborough Man....

Somebody stop the ride....I gotta get off....

[efdcapt115 1,511]

Did you file your 215A with the Safety Officer before the operational peroid?

No but he had a guy standing along the road wearing a shirt that said "Bees ahead."

[wraftery 1,275]

Did you file your 215A with the Safety Officer before the operational peroid?

No, I did not file a 215A Safety Analysis. Tht incident was too small to warrant a myriad of paperwork. Same as a food on the stove job. You don't fill all the papers all the time.

Besides, I didn't have an epi pen to write with.

OUCH!!!!!!
