Please explain to me how the individuals in either of those photos could have gone without noticing the hydrants.
In the first photo, the driver had to parallel park. Either the driver closed his/her eyes and relied on divine intervention to guide their car in reverse, or he/she saw the hydrant in the rear view mirror while backing up.
In the second photo, the driver is parked JUST far enough forward that the driver's side door won't hit the hydrant when it is opened. I suppose that was simply a stroke of good luck?
Stop making excuses. People don't care because they are lazy and self important.

Annnnd it's leaked.

Sorry, but I can't get enough of this clip:

More bandaids...

I saw "A Good Job" and thought it was well done. I have no problem with documentary's about the fire service that focus on loss of Firefighter and civilian lives as that is the reality that I remember from my 21 years of career service and 17 years of volunteer service.

Most of the documentarys I have watched about the fire service tend to focus on more of the tragedy we encounter (atleast in my humble opinion). This however, I feel had a focus on the brotherhood and cammeradery found in the station. One example I can think of off the too of my head is the film "into the fire". A large part of that documentary was facing loss of life in the fire service. Again, this is how I perceived it. While there was quite a few mentions of loss of life both civilian and firefighter in "a good job" they were followed immediately by stories of how the firefighters involved in the incident found comfort in each other. Again, this is how I perceived the documentary. My question for you is: were you able to see "a good job" tonight and did you feel the same way?

From that area it's only about 20 min to WMC normal driving. The incident occurred less than 1 mile from the highway on ramp that would be used to travel to WMC. When you take in the time for the bird to land, the crew to do their assessment and time to load and take off, you haven't saved any real time as opposed to code 3 ground transport. Just my opinion.

I have always been against calling the bird for anything other than a prolonged extrication in that area (13 years in the next town south from peekskill) for that reason. I can make it to WMC is about 25 min in my POV during the morning commute why wouldn't I be able to make it in the same time or faster with RLS? Ask me, too many people rely on ALS and medivacs.

Settle down folks. This thread was started as an informative thread for those interested. If you have no interest in parades, don't read the thread. There I no reason to resort to childish arguments.

K9s are great "tools"! From patrol dogs, to narcotics and bomb dogs, to accelerant/arson dogs, they greatly enhance our ability to serve the public.
