It was my understanding that it is now New York State law that every interior firefighter must have a bailout system. Am I wrong?

Great pictures. Amazing ship!

Thank you!

Start a new thread...I'm interested as well!

Pleasantville also has a BLS fly car and a Rehab Unit.

Rest in Peace Firefighter Liucci. My thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and fellow firefighters.

Awesome find. Thanks for posting!

Congrats man! How many EMS /fire calls did you go on?

Have you ever seen a fan just stop when they yell at him or her??

Excellent points. My FD just prchased bailout systems for all interior members. We have had the Jemcor belts for a while now. We sent people away to become trainers and now we have quite a few. It is a nice insurance policy for the money. I'll take an safety measure as simple as a bailout system any day over god knows what else the money would have gone towards.

Thanks!

That is what I thought. Thanks for the reply!

Congratulations to the anonymous member and all others who passed.

Does Lake Travis Fire-Rescue have ambulances? Or do they just send an engine on another agencies EMS calls, I noticed the EMS supplies in one of the pictures. Do they staff FF/EMT or FF/Paramedics? Thanks

Does anyone know who did the vinyl and lights package for these trucks?

I would love to hear them speak. I listen to the "Black Sunday" recordings every once in a while. Good reality check. Tragic day. RIP

I agree with you 100% that everyone SHOULD have a bailout system. I also feel that majority of departments do not spend enough time training people to use their harnesses and bailout systems. The reason I started this thread was because I have noticed that up in St. Lawrence county where I go to school and am a M/A member with Potsdam FD, practically no one has a bailout system or a harness of some sort. The tallest building in St. Lawrence county happens to be on the campus at my school (SUNY Potsdam). The building is 6 stories tall. If I had to guess, I would say that 70-80% of houses in St. Lawrence county are 1 or 2 stories. I guess this is why there are so few firefighters with harnesses or bailout systems.

One of my best friends and fellow PVAC members is a US Army Sgt. and EOD Specialist. He is currently serving in Kuwait. The job these brave men do is nothing short of spectacular. True heroes! About the NYC incident. I a happy that no one got injured and to hear that one of the suspects was arrested while trying to flee the country. May he and all suspects involved suffer for a long time to come.

I was not assuming just to spend money. When you say laddered, are you referring to ground ladders or an aerial ladder?

May you all rest in peace. One of my best friends and fellow VAC members is currently serving as an EOD SGT in Kuwait. My thoughts and prayers are with him and all men and woman of the armed forces every day. Get home safe!

May you rest in peace brother. My most heartfelt thoughts and prayers are with your family, friends, and fellow firefighters. RIP

May the fallen police officer rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers are with the friends, families, and co-workers of the 5 officers. May the 4 injured officers have a speedy recovery.

Great looking engine! Thanks for posting the pictures.

As usual? I was only talking about the 37-medics...I had all their info. There is no 37M2 from 1900 to 0700. With the exception of the reservation, 37M1 covers all of the jurisdiction as first due. Forgetting to leave out the reservation is not half of the info. If you could PM me and let me know about the "As usual PFDRES47CUE has only half the info"...it would clear up a lot of confusion. If you need to include personal rage into your posts towards me, keep the post on topic with my topic. 87 was not included in my post because I was only talking about the 37-medics. I had 100% of the info I wanted to include...

Perhaps he wanted to go fishing but forgot his boat. Probably figured that he payed for an Audi, it should float! This is why I always carry an underwater camera in my car...just in case.
