  1. Classmate of mine in Westchester County Probationary Fire Academy 1-94. He was a good firefighter. Those of you in the business know that is the ultimate compliment. RIP Tim.
  2. Did you bother to read the article before making your snide comment? Why is it that someone always has to try and turn a positive into a negative?
  3. You obviously don't get it and are just starting to get defensive now, so I am done here. I just really hope that if you ever get put in a leadership position in the fire service you develop a better attitude, because this is the type of thinking, or lack thereof, that gets firefighters injured or killed.
  4. You are truly showing your ignorance here by continuing to try and defend an indefensible position. Anyone who has taken the most basic FF training, has ever read any article on firefighting tactics or NIOSH LODD reports, or attended any firefighting seminar, knows that one of the first things an IC should do upon arrival is a complete 360 of the fire building. You need to follow 1911's lead, re-read the narrative again, and admit that you made a mistake and move on.
  5. These are some of the most ridiculous comments I have ever seen on this site. Is it that you guys can't read, can't count, or know absolutely nothing about firefighting? Read the narrative again and re-think your comments.
  6. The one big problem with moving the fire district elections that has never been mentioned in any article is the fact that fire district boundaries are not contiguous with either municipal, school district, or election district boundaries. Administratively it would be a nightmare. One school district for example could encompass several fire districts. It's easy to have a knee jerk reaction (read Paul Feiner) and make a suggestion, but you need to be able to back up the suggestion with a plan on how to carry it out.
