Yeah, apparently the call came in after the fire was already "through the roof" so there was not much else that could be done other than mount a defensive stance and surround and drown.

Westchester County covers 450 square miles!

Kyle beat me to it while I was typing, but In a nutshell, County Coordinators are called out any time a cause and origin (aka: arson) investigation request is made, and acts as a liaison between the County and the local department, and provides any additional assistance if requested by the on-scene IC.

And No, they don't just buff the big fires.

The original story links have long since expired, here is an active one:

As far as carrying flammable liquids and gases on vehicles, these would fall under DOT (Department of Transportation) guidelines while on the road. The small HazMat quantities you would carry fall below the requirements for placarding the vehicle, but the products still need to be properly secured and stored and for all intents and purposes would be considered "tools of the trade"

I would suggest these vehicle storage locations include ventilated compartments, if the storage is enclosed, with no source of ignition (compartment lights, anyone?)

We're caught between a rock-and-a-hard-place as far as LP tanks being stored indoors. Good luck with that one!

You have to start out how much you are willing to spend. For instance a halfway decent low-end Digital SLR camera kit goes for $500, or you can take it up to over $2000, for a camera body with no lens.

First, get the grammer police outside the hot zone,

Option 3: Staying inside, on a scene with limited manpower and hoping to have immediate response to your PASS alarm sounding, is putting yourself way out on a limb, and out of the question.

Option 2: is probably what we would all do without thinking twice, even though it jeopardizes our own safety.

Option 1: is the best response, it's supposed to be 2-in-2-out, right? Get the hell out and have your relief team go in and remove the one victim, otherwise we might end up with there being three.

While I absolutely hope this is not true, it also would not be the first time someone cried wolf, for revenge, or any other number of reasons.

Secondly, why is it always that the person accused in an allegation such as this gets publicly named, before there is even an investigation conducted???

Even if he is innocent, this guy might as well have been convicted of a sex crime, for the damage already done.

If he's guilty, lock him up.

Please, once again, just post run totals in this thread.

We can discuss all other response concerns HERE

Or, start a new topic.

Thanks!

LA police have arrested Harry Burkhart, 24, as the arsonist responsible for the 55 fires that have been set around Hollywood over the last four days.

Glad they caught the sombich before someone got killed!~

If you didn't put them down because you aren't on good terms than say that.

Agreed.

I doubt that it makes much difference, but what kind of work were you doing that was "uncovered"?

I can only suggest that you be as forthcoming and honest as humanly possible. Unfortunately you may already have potentially jeopardized further consideration of your application, and any feeble attempt to get around this could only add the finishing touch.

Good luck!

Please just post run totals here.We can discuss other response concerns elsewhere.

Thanks!

This job was pretty well involved on arrival. I'm curious how did the call come in, homeowner call, AFA, neighbor, passer-by?

Nice knock-down!

Just having a law doesn't mean people are going to comply. We can only hope (and pray) that they do.

How long have there been seat belt laws, and people are still getting killed or ejected from vehicles involved in an accident because they don't buckle-up.

Or how about those pesky hands free cellphone use, or texting-while-driving laws?

Or, how about this one, drunk driving?

People are still dying in fires, from smoke and CO, despite laws requiring detectors.

Now you see it, now you dont....

Allowing older posts to be edited became an issue especially for those instances where someone else quoted another member's post, in response to that member.

What would lead to confusion is we would have a post that got edited, and the quoted one will not reflect the subsequent edit.

Also after a post has been visible to the public for a while, allowing it to be modified at will "down the road" could disrupt the continuity and time-line of a topic thread.

So, think twice, post once! LOL!

What is so incredibly sad is there is speculation that there were no working smoke detectors in the house, which was undergoing substantial renovations.

You can never have too many working smoke detectors.

Thoughts and prayers for all.

I wholeheartedly endorse utilizing critical incident stress management especially for those exposed to the tragedy first hand.

Someone may think they're OK, but having the incident fresh in everyone's mind is the best opportunity to hold a debriefing.

For many, just having been at a scene like this is sufficient to create elevated stress, even if they didn't witness the fatalities, and it's a perfectly normal reaction. First responders are generally thought to be tough professionals but It's important to deal with the stress as soon as possible.

The mental images one has will never, ever, go away, it just has to be addressed and understood.

Why is it that politicians of all stripes find it so easy to reduce or eliminate essential public safety services and can never seem to find other non-essential resources to cut for savings?! I don't get it.

Merry Christmas AND happy holidays to all!

Collectively, our members are what makes this great site as successful as it is!

9:40 PM is the chat down?

There are some software / operational issues which are being investigated.

Not exactly sure when those will be resolved. Hopefully soon!

Another grammer cop. LOL

Right now we are aware that some members are experiencing technical difficulties trying to access the chat feature.

Be advised it is being looked into, and hopefully we will be able to resume full operation, shortly.

Thank you for your patience.

Hart Island is the largest municipal funded "Potter's Field" correct?

Yes, it's the largest taxpayer funded cemetery in the world!

The NYC department of corrections controls burial records and permits only very limited physical access.

The chat feature is back!

You can see how many people are in the room from the main page.

You will stay logged in until you click the X button to leave.

There is no button, at least not yet, anyway.

That post was from last year when it was originally launched.

The EMTBravo live-chat feature was "retired" essentially for lack of use, and we're contemplating the feasibility of resurrecting it.
