House completely charged with smoke L12 opening up searches made roof opened fire N/D unsure of U/C time. Thats all i got.

This study went quietly into the sunset and why you ask?... Maybe it's because it's not what somebody wanted to hear.

That just shows that neither one of them have a effen clue as to whats going on in Mt.Vernon. Its just I will get you some money then its "HEY EVERYBODY LOOK WHAT I DID" and dont forget to vote.

Mt.Vernons union president clearly stated on news 12 that they agree with Yonkers union that Mt Vernon abuses the mutual aid system regularly. He also said as long as neighboring depts continue to send units into Mt Vernon why would they hire?

Yeah but this aint no small Dept. Approx 1600 guys, 52 Stations so im guessing maybe 300 per shift. There shouldnt have been any lack of personel. This seems to me to be just a total lack of preparation especially by the IC. But whos gunna tell him he needs to go through some serious Mayday procedure training.

Glad i wasnt on the other end of that Mayday. "Your out of air"? Hang on while we do a PAR. WTF?

I just wish this was posted sooner

Well there is alot i want to say about Mass. being a Yankee fan but, i wouldnt call this aggressive laddering i'd call it Ladder placement 101. Get the engines the hell out the way and stretch the hose leave the front of the building for the trucks. Isnt that SOP for everybody?

After the I 95 diesel tanker explosion he told news 12 that he had several hundred gallons of diesel that was "on the loose".

According to the IA,only 1 Engine and 1 Truck were on the initial dispatch. Is that normal for a Multi Dwell of that size(again refering to the IA report of 60 displaced) at 3 AM?

thanks for the info. I agree great job WPFD. It seemed the first due companies had there hands full.
