While I do not plan to NOT vote, it surely has a point, right?

Link to IA Link to 1st Responder Article Isn't this in the same area that Arlington overturned one of their engines about 10 years ago?

Oy vey! I try and avoid Raymond to the best I can. I hate those roundabouts.

To quote an "inside source": "A can of spray insulation was covered in debris, and it blew up in the faces of the investigators and one of the CVFD guys"

East Fishkill dispatched for a reported structure fire. First arriving unit (1st Assistant Chief) 39-2 reporting working fire. First in crew encountered a room and contents; the room fully involved, self vented, beginning extension out window up to eaves and into attic, and extending just outside of door into hallway. The main body k/d in under 5, overhaul and checking for extension proved negative results. Aggressive attack kept this from extending beyond the room of origin. Good job guys!

Guys, please try and keep all comments relative to the thread. Some comments here totally unrelated.

Picture is courtesy of EFFD 39-1 (District Chief), and yes, I heard the same thing!

I remember hearin' that on the scanner. Scary stuff!

Yes, i have seen a couple reviews of this product on another forum I am on. It is to emergency warning equipment, what EMTBravo is to the buffs here. Like a day in Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Unfortunately, the site is currently down (due to aftereffects of Hurricane Ike) but I shall post reviews once they get back online.

This thread has served its purpose. There is no more need to argue over whose fault it was, or what broke, or who saw what. Unless something new arises (i.e. the boat is located) this thread is closed. I don't think anyone can add any more value to this thread than has already been posted.

Going along with what everyone else has said I dropped Nextel a month ago for Verizon. I was only 6 months into my 2nd, 2 year contract, but I was so fed up with it. I miss the 2way function, but I appreciate the better reception, cheaper plan, more services for a lower price, and a bigger discount thatn I had for Nextel. Overall, I am very happy I went to Verizon.

Does anyone know anything more about this, or heard anything more? http://www.emtbravo.net/index.php?showtopic=27557

As always, Bill is such a modest, down to earth guy, who has not/was not/is not tooting his own horn.

Congrats Bill, on yet another one of many fine jobs!!

Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan anyone say.....

I was sitting in AP Chem, Senior year in HS. The hall monitors were walking around handing out notes to all the teachers, and my teacher said "Yea, I know, I already heard." Of course, I just thought it was something like a teacher's meeting scheduled or something. Then, 4th period, I was in lunch, the principal came over the PA, and announced about the tragedies. My HS, like most others, the cafeteria was probably the loudest place on earth. The eeriest part, was you coul dhave heard a pin drop for a good 20 minutes, during, and after the principal's announcement. From there, I went to my next class a little early, and my teacher was in his office listening to the radio, so I sat down and listened along. I asked him to give me the rundown on what was happening. I was either in shock/disbelief, but at that point, I had not known the towers were gone. I had been thinking just one got hit. Thats when he told me; "No, they're gone. They're both gone." And one of the other music teachers was frantic on the phone trying to call her ex husband, who worked nowhere else than in WTC Bldg. 1.

Yea, there is quite a bit of out of date information there. Don't know the last time it was updated.

Oh FFD941, don't you look so astute!!!! What's with the dangling waist straps though?!?!?!

Well done! I appreciated the big smile on my face.

Kinda scary to look back, huh? http://www.emtbravo.net/index.php?showtopic=10940&hl=

Lol, sure, if you say so!

As I have always said..... _______ = Job Security!!

I would love to see a video of this whole interaction. Its amazing what a little exposure to YouTube can do to people these days. And, why am I not surprised that it was Joel Miller. He has been pompous and arrogant so long as I have known him to be in office. Oh, and I almost forgot to answer your question. No, they don't have any idea, as a generic statement. On rare occasions, I have dealt with some that do genuinely care, but they are few and far between, and usually their genuine care is outweighed by the political pressure to do what is "in the best interest of the general public" and not "what benefits Fire/PD/EMS" even though that ultimately IS in the best interests for the public well being. But that is the problem, the politicians do not see it in terms of benefiting the public down the lines. All most of them see is another expenditure on their annual budget.
