I was thinking the same thing. Probaly comes down to the major EMS problem (IMO) in NYC.....very little respect for EMS by NYC Goverment or other agencies. I can tell you in Boston, they would've been charged higher, it think it is "Assault against a public safety official" or something like that. It's not tolerated in any form up there. But who knows what really happened on that scene.

Bump for this weekend. Hope many juniors are planning to attend and support and meet their fellow Juniors.

We'll see about that. :-P

Town of Mamaroneck Summer EMT Jobs are available with the town Recreation Department For more information, call 914- 381-7865 Don't know the responsibilities.

LOL, the class came to you actually!! Good luck with your class BFD1054. Any FIREFIGHTER who has some free time should consider taking any of these classes. EVEN IF your department does not provide EMS....yet, It's a great background skill to know, and is also very helpful when doing an EMS assist, extrication, rescue, or just to use in your general life. If you can't find the 110 measly hours to take the EMT, at least consider CFR. Juniors- What a great skill to aqquire this summer- you can become a CFR at 16. Will also give you a head start when you take EMT.

Another outstanding article by Remember585! I agree with many of the points made, especially in regards to the officers. Great LINE leadership is key in any succesful incident or company. One thing I'd like to add that is a well-rounded, cohesive team that gets along (working under the great leadership) is often the best performing on the fireground. People need to put personal differences aside and focus on working together to get the task done. Freelancing also plays into this, DO YOUR ASSIGNED TASK!!! I especially agree with the officer election points. As R585 said, Officers need to be APPOINTED in some sort of fair way based on their qualifications and experience and leadership skill. Maybe a promotional exam,interviews, coupled with an election would be a better way for volunteers to appoint their leaders. An organized command post is also key to a more controlled fireground, bu thats a whole nother subject, lol. Engine 119's Captain should be an example.

RIP to FF Jeffrey Bergstrom. Best wishes to the injured. Just further reminder that we are never ever safe at any time, and sometime not even with each other in this job. Responding can be an much overlooked, yet very dangerous portion of our jobs. :sad:

You're absolutely right,lol!! I love this show. This is my favorite show, its got tons of apparatus and vendors, plus they have some unique stuff out there in the PA area. Takes about 3 hours to get there, and on the way home, if you redirect to Philly to get a REAL cheesesteak "wiz" from Pat's, its an awesome day!

Just curious, what is the mandatory minmimum classes required for your department and what classes do you think should be required? My Opinion: Firefighter I and II EVOC Engine Company Operations and/(or) Truck Company Operations Basic Rescue Operations Hazmat First Responder EMT or First Responder

They also filmed at Mina's Resturant on Saw Mill River Road in Ardsley, and a few scenes in Tarrytown recently.

Bump for this weekend.

As I'm figuring with the connections Dennis Leary has, and the authenticity that I'm hearing this show will have, I suspect they will be using "on loan" equipment from FDNY, similar to the Third Watch arrangement.

Juniors from all Westchester corps who can make it there should go. It's a good way to support your fellow junior corps, and also a great way to meet other juniors, network and share ideas, and have a good time. Oh yeah, and eat, lol!

According to fx, It's going to be a 1 hour drama, not a comedy. I heard they filmed the pilot in Yonkers, but were filming at a soundstage in Astoria, Queens and locations shoots throughout the NYC boros. If it's true they are filming in Yonkers, I'd rather see them reflect the urban neighborhoods. After all, thats where more of the action takes place in real life and provides a much grittier background.

What a tragedy :sad: There are some evil trees out there.
