Just fermented 3 gallons of liquor (sugar, water, yeast). This can be added to energy drinks, or anything else...only cost 7 bucks.....hmmmmm. Anyone of any age can do this and it yields up to 10% alc/vol with baker yeast. Turbo or distillers yeast can yeild up to 20%. Freeze the solution and remove the water and you can get close to 100% alc/vol (jk but pretty high...). No way of banning this, and it gets you drunk.

Grants, coin drop (I know of depts. that have collected thousands in one weekend!), etc... A pancake breakfast is an idea....who doesn't love pancakes!?!

Well put...and to the original poster....grow up.

I might have just puked a little...

Rest In Peace Chief. My condolences to the family, friends, and the school.

This is very unprofessional and frankly quite embarrassing... Does Florida really not have any bigger issues to deal with?

Does anyone have any updates on the 8 patients? Any emergency personnel affected by CO? <BR><BR>Using BBQ equipment inside....REALLY!?!<IMG src="http://www.emtbravo.net/public/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif"> Any possibility of criminal charges if someone dies as a result of some _________ (Fill in with own adjective) using BBQ equipment inside a MFD?

RIP brother! Thank you for all you have done to keep people safe and to fill peoples lives with joy. My condolences to your family and to the FDNY.

Nice pictures, thanks for posting. I hope everyone had safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Pleasanville old ladder was rebuilt by Seagrave and is for sale. A buddy up at school was telling me that his FD looked at it and Seagrave was trying to sell it too them for $800,000 (ish)

Having a CO detector or even better a multi gas detector on all in bags is a must. This one detector will protect all personnel that are in the house or where ever the call is. Personal detectors for each member is a little excessive...these will be lost and broken way to frequently. Most of the time, the in bag stays with the crew in the house. And if the EMS in bag is not often brought in, the police or a medic usually have a bag. If all bags had detectors...problem solved. Also, as a rule of thumb, whenever I have two or more patients found in the same environment (not MVA's, domestic violence calls) I always right away become suspicious of the surroundings, and air quality. It is rare to have an entire house full of people have difficulty breathing. or headaches, dizzyness without an underlying cause...probably the environment they are in. Unless its an amazing coincidence!

Link?

Nice pictures. Thanks for posting.

Wow! Impressive fire. What a tragedy with 42 casualties recorded so far. Make you wonder what went wrong and why people could not get out...

Congratulation on the award!

When were you in Potsdam? I hope you swung by the fire station. They do not sell Four Lokos here in Potsdam...most locals have never even heard of the drink. College kids on the other hand have since 90% of the college kids are from Long Island. I hope you enjoyed your weekend in Potsdam!

Really good looking Chiefs truck. best of luck with it.

Interesting...

I wanted to find out about why airbags seem to not be deploying when one would think they should. It seems that if you are in a car accident airbags do not deploy but if you hit a deer...pop your airbags deploy. The past couple of accidents I have been on over the past couple days have had significant front end damage with no airbag deployment. Early this morning we had a 2009 Dodge Ram pickup truck strike a utility pole at 55 mph. The impact was dead center on the front end and there was no airbag deployment! I would have thought that this high of an impact would trigger front airbags....

Does anyone know of any departments that have outwards facing cameras in or on the fronts of their apparatus? I know most law enforcement vehicles have this to have video surveillance at traffic stops, etc. It seems to me like this would not be a bad idea for fire trucks. These cameras could record video while responding to calls and in the event of an accident, could provide valuable information for the court. I know that a lot of intersections have cameras at them but they do not often give a good angle and often times do not allow you to see the color os the traffic lights. They also often times are not in working order. In cab cameras on fire trucks or ambulances would give show the color of the lights, what is happening at intersections and show exactly what the driver/crew is seeing. I am just curious as to why the FD's and EMS agencies have not adapted this from LE agencies. Thanks in advance for any insight...

Excellent site. Great resource for firefighters.

Great pics. Thanks for posting the collection.
