  3. Willy Bridgeport a few years ago had gotten a boat similar to Milfords marine 1 and Branfords marine 5. It is a great upgrade from what they used to run. If I am correct the crew from engine 3 is the primary crew for the boat.
  4. Seth thanks for posting that video it really shows how's dry it is out there and how fast a small fire will spread in those conditions. Stay safe

  14. I actually just read in the blotter section of the new haven register that some guy drank this and woke up on a couch and started strangling people because they were trying to " light him on fire". He also broke out the front bay windows of a house and his car. This stuff sounds pretty nasty. I'm not in the ems field but I can deffinitly see problems even on a typical activated alarm and being confronted with a violent drunk that's been drinkng this.

  22. I went to the services today and I have to say Waterbury and fdny did a tremendous job with the services. It was a very sobering reminder of what can happen at any given time to any one of us. All I can say is I hope and pray that this was the first and last time anything like this will happen.
