Description Of Incident:
Writer: hudson144
430-111 bedford center rd on a structure fire,numerous tankers for water supply, truck from mt kisco to the scene.
0503- yorktown tanker- " a barn burner" to the scene.

Montrose FD- early to mid 60s.

How many since 1982-83?

CFI 609 - very accurate and truthful remark!

Does your dept actively use a fast team from within your own dept or does it rely on a mutual aid team, IMO 2 guys standing in front of the fire scene with no formal training is nothing but a smokescreen to cover their butt. How does your dept cover the mandate. I know for career depts manpower is often the issue!

Barry I should have probably been more direct when I posted the question, either way its all a smokescreen for many :-), sorry about bringing this up again but it hit home for me recently. Be safe!

For those of you that didnt know it that quote from above was the Mayors statement! Thnx for the support to all.

After all - "For the most part we have a good Fire Department" :-)

Firecapt- you said it right. The odds were against us from the get go! IMO we did our best and went above and beyond. I'm sure in the long run the investigation that will be conducted would show that . A delay in calling the FD? Maybe- the press is ripping us apart and we who were there all have deep sadness for the family involved. May they all RIP!

Members of group #2 FDMV were faced with tough conditions on 7/10 with hight heat, 2- 2 1/2 wood frame private dwellings well involved with fire. The fire located at 35 south 8th ave certainly put the members to work. Rescues made via ground ladders, heavy smoke with the victims ready to jump along with limited manpower causing 9 members to go out with various injuries all minor. Mutal aid covered the city for almost 8 hrs as limited crews overhauled the fire scene.

As of a recent decision with FDMV the state was not allowed to use the 4/5ths or 80 % rule when scoring the jun 2011 capt/lts exams, in 2004 the lts exam had 37 out of 100 questions deleted from the exam because monorities got them wrong. Through legal channels, which I will in time post on bravo about the actions that we took as plaintiffs the DOJ said no! Well, the results are out and as proof that curves,dumbing down of tests,deleting of questions because of the 4/5ths rules the minority members of FDMV have made it clear that if you work hard and study that you can prevail on these tests. Many times I have seen the complaint that tests are biased, the same complaint that minority members of the Buffalo FD had thrown out of court after a state issued promotional exam was given. Well, hats off to the minority members of FDMV,out of the top 11 on the new lts list 8 are black and 1 is hispanic! Nobody complaining about biased tests here because they worked hard and came out on top on their own! Great job to all who placed on top.

Disparate Impact? Whats it called when12 black Firefighters charge city hall demanding that the pending promotions of 2 white firefighters is halted?
Whats it called when the black city atty says she "didn't want to promote 2 white Firefighters in fear of a lawsuit from the Black Firefighters? * At the time she was 1st VP of the Black Bar Association for Westchester Co, its all BS!
