I think the home video shows a guy trying to get the driver to move the rig because its parked on a line I have seen this happen more then once and sometimes the results are very bad. As for the guy from Kentland screaming and yelling sure it looks bad to us because we are looking at it on video. I was driving in Oct at a job when a truck pulled up on my 2 supply lines I had to do alot of yelling to find the driver to move the rig. Remember this happened (or seems to) at the onset of this job. I am not here to bash them lets all learn from this (the parking on lines issue) and when you are driving and you pull upto a working job don't have tunnel vision see the big picture. Just my 2cents

PS I am not a fan of Kentland I think the music video is something that looks like a bad movie trailer

I got these tapes 9 years ago from the Burn center I belive it was a 5$ donation for each tape I have them somewhere in my house when I find them I will let you know what they are I think I have 8

HBO's Band of Brothers very moving true story done very well

I Think this maybe what we are looking for, Cheif Dunn's website has several pictures (incidents) that can be used, He just used 4 of these at his seminar

I see a problem Kids making comments about fires they were not at, learn 2 things every fire picture something can be found that is not text book and kids that have almost 3 years in the fire service should keep their eyes open and mouth shut. Looks like Ossining did a good job

This is just my 2cents The Yonkers Tribune can be very informing but it is also an outlet for cowards to hide behind their computers an bash people. The internet chat-post rooms would shut down if people had to post their REAL names. J DeMuro YFD

these 2 websites helped when I was taking a EMT refresh last year

Keep in mind Yonkers is not a rural town, this is a large city just this year there was 2 jobs back to back in 2 days ( 2 of the 4 fires were multiple alarms) Exhaustion is not uncommon after fighting a 4 alarm fire ALL night would you be able to preform at 100% if you just finished packing up and another fire broke out, would you want a exhausted firefighter searching to save your family. Open your eyes and look at the big picture Yonkers is not made up of raised ranches on 1 acre of property

The problem with critique on this board is you do not know where it is coming from,people with the most to say ( about fireground ops) are not even firefighters, I would not comment on a police incident I'm a firefighter and know nothing of there SOP's. What I am trying to say is what might look like a bad choice by a member or chief might have been in the best intrest of safety or a deparments SOP's. Don't bash,fill out your profiles and don't hide behide your computer talk like we were all sitting face to face in the same room

If they have that many runs and they live in the fire house they are not vollies just poorly paid FIREFIGHTERS! This town needs a paid dept

Since 1999, the number of volunteer firefighters in the state has dropped from about 135,000 to 100,000, according to the Firemen's Association. In the last decade, the number of volunteer emergency-medical technicians has plummeted from 70,000 to about 40,000.

Why train them in 24years they will be gone

Having members post their real names and company affilation in their bio's would stop alot of negative posts on the whole internet just my 2cents John DeMuro YFD

If the fire is not out in 20 min the building is going to be lost a fast team should be established 1st and foremost it seems that after 20 min no one should be in the building

Ban on Florida Women Firefighters in Burning Buildings is Rescinded

ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEARWATER, Fla. (AP) -- A fire chief has rescinded an order that temporarily prohibited female firefighters from entering burning buildings because male colleagues allegedly threatened not to protect them. City officials said the women refused to cooperate with investigators.

''Our preliminary investigation has indicated that there is no immediate threat at this time,'' according to a written statement by city spokeswoman Joelle Wiley Castelli.

Clearwater Fire & Rescue Chief Jamie D. Geer issued the directive Saturday after learning that the safety of some of the city's nine female firefighters had been threatened because they talked about quitting the local firefighters' union.

Mayor Frank Hibbard said at least two female firefighters claimed to have been told that the next fire they fight could be their last, but the women refused to identify who made the threat.

''We can't follow up on it if they aren't willing to follow through and testify,'' Hibbard said.

Geer did not immediately return a message left early Thursday
