That's all folks. Well done by all the agencies involved.

that was a very brave little boy he'll probably be a great firefighter if he becomes one when he grows up!!

The above is all correct! T-shirts sold by the companies do help us off-set some in house expenses and we definitely appreciate it.
Also, if you're not in a position to visit a house, the FDNY Fire Zone in Rockafeller Center sells a lot of authorized stuff. That money does go to support the FDNY Foundation which is a non-profit that supports scholarships and other worthy causes.

The 2 boys entered the burning home rescuing two infants, then called 911. Two other children were found in the home by arriving firefighters and have been hospitalized.

*There is a LOT of radio traffic, trying my best to keep up.
**Units using several FG channels (ops), (water source), etc

You can explain to me until you are blue in the face what each radio is for and why it's there, doesn't mean I'll buy in.
This is a perfect example of just how flawed EMS in Westchester is. I've worked for privates, publics. ONE radio. Talk to one dispatch center once you sign on the air. None of this bouncing around, checking in with multiple people, wondering which radio I need to grab when I need help.

Just looking back at my 3 most recent IA's. Only one was a structure fire. ! was a search for a missing person that required a lot of resources and one was for a dumpster fire that turned out to be bigger than originally reported and had some special called units. I know that last year I posted an MVA that had special considerations due to being on an elevated highway and having debris over the side. Maybe we all define interesting differently but I try and keep mine to things I think other would want to read about, even if they are not working fires.

I will still post here, although I am not as active as I once was. To some extend I don't have the same frame of reference I did when I joined this site.
As for Incident alerts, I like to read them and occasionally comment on them, but it does seem like too many of them either get no replies or turn into the usual battles. One reason I left another forum was over an incident alert I posted that turned into a bunch of guys from a certain department repeatedly bashing the members of one of the departments that responded to the incident I posted. The funny thing is had I done a less detailed post, they would not have had their cannon fodder. From that I learned less is more. I now list responding units by agency and usually in numerical or alphabetical order, not in the order they responded in. I try to make my IA's more about the incident and the circumstances than about who did what when and for how long.
Look at the recent thread about a big brush fire, there were replies debating on if it qualified as big by some departments standards. I have to assume that it did by the local department's standards and that is really all that matters.

The thing is, hundreds of people still check EMTBravo.com daily, and read the topics. I feel obligated to those people, everyone who has supported EMTBravo, and everybody who has provided great content over the years, and everyone who is a fan of the site to do what's best. Facebook and the proliferation of fire service websites over the last few years have diluted other websites, including other forum-type sites. We have an incredible library of posts and knowledge to draw upon. I've got some ideas for the future of the site that I look forward to developing, which could include the possibility of long-overdue mobile software and app. It also may be very radical change from the current site concept. Stay tuned.

Description several fires this past week and not one posted in the incident section two in yonkers, one each in port chester, spring valley, new city, and Circleville. if it wasn't for channel 12 news I wouldn't have known nothing about them. I remember when every fire in the area was posted including conneticut and all second alarms or greater of fdfny I real disappointed og how the incident log has become

and members wonder why no one is on this site anymore. at least this wasn't a paid vs volunteer bashing. good job!

jd783 thank you for the web page that's exactly what I wanted

That would be something nice to see in the report. Further, a break down of what types of apparatus responded to certain types of incidents throughout the year (including county owned apparatus). It would be fun statistics to look at, but it might make people bring up that evil "C" word that no body like *insert evil laugh here.*

the report did not list each department dispatched run totals that's what I wanted to see
