First off, my prayers for a speed recovery for the injured Paramedic. Saw this article today and found it interesting. This is a problem that can happen in any downtown area where skyscrapers are. My question is this...Who is liable for injuries/damages caused from ice? I would assume that it would fall onto the owner of the skyscraper but that is just an assumption. I mean is it possible that the building owner is responsible for having the ice cleaned off the side of the buildings? How could this be done without the ice falling to the ground? Leads me to believe he is worried about the buildings owner being held liable...

Awesome! Nice job by all of the rescuers and civilians who worked the arrest.

Thanks for the information.

Any idea how these new cars will be distributed? When will the Harlem line see some? Hudson line? I cant wait to ride in one for myself. It is about time something is being done! Better late than never.

With the terrible start to 2011 interms of shootings and emergency personnel safety, most recent incident being the firefighter who was shot in Long Island, I wanted to hear people opinions/info in regards to using bullet-proof vests. Obviously law enforcement agencies use bullet proof vests. Are these used by all members the entire time they are on patrol? (Sorry might be a dumb question ) I know there are some EMS agencies (mostly paid) that use bullet-proof vests. I am not sure if this is a mandatory thing or personal preference by members. Do any EMS agencies, paid or volunteer, use bulletproof vests? Are these supplied by by the agency or are they purchased by the user? Are the vest worn on all calls? Are they kept in the rig or kept with the user at all times? Any FD's use bullet-proof vests? I personally have never heard of this being the case... The injured firefighter from LI was not wearing a vest and the article does not mention if he was shot while wearing his turnout gear. I do not know how I feel about wearing a vest under my turnout gear. But, I also do not have much experience wearing vests and operating in them. After responding to the recent Thornwood Shooting, my VAC is looking into purchasing bullet-proof vests. I am not 100% sure of all details... Remember that the most important aspect of any call (MVA, structure fire, Difficulty breathing, slip and fall, shooting, etc) is SCENE SAFETY. You getting injured while rushing to help someone who is already injured, is pointless and often times avoidable. STAY SAFE!

Every EMT and Paramedic is issued a vest whether they want on or not? How often are they replaced?

Great shots everyone, thanks for posting!

Thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery! STAY SAFE!

That is great! Kudos to TFD!!!

RIP. Thank you for all you did during your 110 year life. You obviously were an amazing person. God Bless!

Yup. I am aware of the fact that this is a private board. But I also am aware that the Moderators probably want people with a lot of knowledge that can be shared to be members. I'm not going to go further into this as it is not my place...

I know that I do not know the details of what has happened and this might not be my place to chime in but...I was thinking about what I do know about the issue and this site and an idea popped into my head. Perhaps since this site is run but both, the hardworking staff and the people who contribute knowledge and insight, everyone should have a say in the removal the people. Perhaps a poll or vote??? I mean, what makes this site great is the knowledge that is passed around from member to member in the threads. People also gain a lot from the I/A's. If members have learned more good from the banned member than damage was done, they should be able to vote and say so. I understand that site policies were violated, but are the policies in question really worth the loss of knowledge? Maybe...either way i think se should vote, say like a jury.

PM Sent.

I by no means have two different names but I do know that is not very complicated to do so and have it go unnoticed. It is a shame that it is happening on this site. But, in the end. this site is still full of grea tresources and information. Lets all just get along and stay focused on our common goal.

Anyone have any details on the OFD fire this morning. The I/A says entrapment... True? Not true? Anything? Thanks!
