Only one question. Is the risk of a line of duty injury or worse death worth putting on that show? Will they put on that piece of granite "He put on a good show"?

In retrospect, no, in the heat of the moment, I could see it. Unfortunate as it is, it happened here... hopefully we should be focusing on the efficiency of the job, but that doesn't always happen everywhere.

The only problem is the damage is cumulative.

Hey Moose,

Refer the Captain to this thread if he's taking dumpster fires lightly. Good for you.

I recommend reading that thread, and when the NIOSH report probably comes out about it, that as well. EFDCapt has constantly reminded me to buff up on my NIOSH reports. I encourage all on here to take that proactive step and do the same, if you are not already - regardless of the circumstances, there is something to be learned or reinforced by each one.

RIP Chief, we've got the watch, my thoughts to the family, friends, and fellow firefighters in their time of mourning.

May he rest in peace, my condolences to all affected.

IS the stabbing confirmed? The one article I saw from JEMS said there was no weapon involved and that it was probably a head injury.

I guess we'll know later on, I was going off of TheSecretList emails..

Either way, RIP.

I think insurance companies write off any vehicle involved with any amount of fire large or small no? Not worth it without SCBA, worry about exposures and take the time to keep your life cycle going just that much longer.

I read that there is a possibility that EMS beat PD to the scene, upon coming up on the patient, he ran, and at some point the Medic was stabbed. RIP, my condolences and thoughts to all those affected, be it his co-workers and family.

A Chief is the only one you see even attempt wearing a SCBA, granted after the fire is knocked down, just interesting to see only the Chief DTRT.

Just checked, my channel 7 is back on and the awards are on.

Josh,

Do you have any info on the drive train; motor make & horsepower, and is this tanker going to be automatic transmission or standard shift?

Thanks,

George

Will get back to you on that George.

whose the builder?

Rosenbauer

T370 - 2000 Gallons, 1250gpm pump for the record, got some of the facts wrong in my head, sorry! New pictures came in, now a body is attached! Including the always lovely chevrons - will post when I obtain them myself.

There are some places around Albany I believe if you are willing to travel that far, possibly one in Woodstock? I am unsure about the latter location but someone in Ulster or Greene might know better than I.

Some older pictures of Millerton's new tanker, 51-31. It is slated for arrival on the 15th of this month, more pictures are due soon and I will post them when I can.

FDNY*EMS is dispatched by its own Emergency Medical Dispatchers who are EMT's out of Metrotec in Brooklyn.

Do those EMT's rotate out of the dispatch center on tours in the city? Just curious.

Congratulations!

The board is a great compilation of folks who all deserve a round of applause. I will also extend a big congrats to Captain Glover, he has helped me out on these boards in ways a lot of folks fail to do in real-life...

Thanks George.

I viewed this video earlier in the day.. I compliment them for establishing a FAST team, and I can only go by what the video shows only.

From what I saw in the video, we saw three sides of the structure, with only one ladder extended, not to say there wasn't one on the fourth, presumably the 'b' of the structure. I am not sure how many of those folks were FAST or just standby crews in staging waiting to do whatever, but I am sure there are a few rigs around them, why not ladder each side of the building for safe measure? A proactive FAST team as far IMO should be concerned with such matter themselves. Albeit no one is perfect when it comes to laddering - at least they had on raised! I have see in person and otherwise buildings without any type of laddering...

The firefighter looking to bail, I feel bad for him because he looked worn out - whether the heat and smoke got to him, or he ran out of air and took in some nasty stuff, or whatever - he looked exhausted to me, really hard to execute something like that in that condition I imagine. After a long day of training it is not so easy, I can only imagine having to do it when it hits the fan.

Circumstances are often left out of such videos, so events revolving the incident can only be judged on what was seen. I often hate critiquing a video because there is always the aspect of what we didn't see - so I am just stating that my conclusions are based on what I did see.

Stay safe everyone.

I have always been impressed with the way DC911 monitors their firegrounds, glad to see it paid off tonight - great job to the folks that were on for the incident!

FDNY is using GMC Trucks. Yonkers are Fords.

Yonkers is using TCD in Mamaro

FDNY is using Odyssey in Jersey

Thank you and thank you for clarifying, I was taking a shot at the dark as I know Mount Vernon sometimes jumps on with FDNY bids...

Thanks again.

Did this come off of the FDNY EMS and Bat Chief fleet that came out recently? Looks similar, who did the work? If I missed it in the posts above I apologize - nice looking rig though, like that it carries extra FAST gear...

Was going for the saints, and one of my wife's boxes popped up and we won some money, so I am happy all around.

One quick one before the second half of OSHA...

If your nozzles have pistol grips, get used to being the lineman without using the pistol grip, and extending the nozzle an arms length away from you, but not too far so that you cannot operate the bale. A lot of people will say that is the proper way to handle a hose, some will disagree, just my .02.

Everyone stay safe!

Oh, and inspect your nozzles, they are just as important as SCBA and other equipment, but often are passed over for frequent inspection.

Make sure you have your volume turned up when you look at their homepage...

I would put more serious thought into an IPhone if there was one.

Anyone using helmets with the slide out shields? How well do they work?

I am unsure of their performance, but someone told me that the defender visor for Cairns helmets will not slide over glasses. Not sure how reliable that is because I don't have direct knowledge - but others like them, say they provide better than bourkes at least...
