im looking to buy the bct15x i am looking for feedback on this scanner good and bad.

the company is greenwood fire apparatus in mass.

r.i.p

the city of waterbury is getting a gk engine and also a gk rescue. another nice thing is that for the trucks to get serviced it is only a 10-15 minute ride vs. an hour or more.

nice pics when did springdale get rid of the snorkel

Nothing runs like a DEERE

yea until you blow a rod through the side of the block 6 months after the warrantee is up.

RIP

In the area we cover it is a lot easier to pull the booster off when on the highway and drown the brush fires that are down the embankments, especially with the limited manpower we have during the day.

joe I look at it this way odd or even derby still sees the work lol.

none of the derby units went rit to howard ave, I ended up going when 16 was called in for hodge ave. I was maybe 2 blocks away when they cleared and then we took in the alarm at ansonia high with shelton.

pics of the fire and bailout are at www.firstduefirephotos.com this was the first of three fires in ansonia in about an hour. all of ansonias units(4 engines 1 truck 1 squad 1 hazmat unit) and all of derbys units( 5 engines 1 truck 1 rescue and 1 ambulance) as well as ansonia rescue medical ( 3 ambulances 1 rescue and 1 lighting and air truck) with station coverage from seymour ( 2 engines 1 truck stand by in quarters) and shelton (1 engine ) station coverage.

found some pics on 1st responder

Blue for the fd green for the ambulance.

100% here too

my firehouse is at the most 75 feet from the town line and it takes the neighboring town approx. 8-10 minutes to get to that area of town. there has been numerous occasions where people have driven up to my firehouse and told us about an incident just over the line and we cant do anything but just call it in to the other departments dispatch, sure our guys go down and check on what was reported to us but without a truck or equipment there isnt much we can do. my friend is a member of that department and has tried to get them to dispatch us on automatic aid but there are alot of older members who dont want anyone besides their members on their calls. hopefully one day this will change due to the fact that it gets harder and harder to get volunteers and it is not worth someones life to just handle things by yourself especially with long response times. we all know how critical every minute is when someones life is in danger, so we all should suck it up and if there is another company or department that is closer add them onto the dispatch even if it is just 1 engine, in the event of a fire with someone trapped or a serious accident it will make a difference even if we dont want to realize it.

In Derby we're getting a 2008 lifeline ambulance on a gmc 4500 chassis and an engine to replace Engine 14 a 1987 Pierce Lance.
