Pagers

That brings up a good point. If you want the shirts looking crisp I'd recommend something with military creases that are stitched in as opposed to glued/ironed.

YEP...WE'LL FILL YOUR POOL...IF THAT'S WHAT YOU REALLY WANT

Also, don't EMS Divisions run red Impalas...

All apparatus are the same in regards to their critics...

Crews initially made an interior attack but soon an evacuation was called and crews worked on the defensive for the majority of the work. As flames died down crews reentered the building and extinguished the remaining fire and checked for extensions. In the end one cat was carried out of the house, but also a request by command for assistance from a local funeral home so unknown if in fact it was a fatal fire.

Yeah, because no career FF ever drove recklessly, ever, in the history of the world, right?

Thanks, Barry. The County PD had an ESU long before it had SWAT (SRT).
This is just a new vehicle for them.

They have had ESU for at least 30 years. They provided the "jaws of life" on all the parkways, long before most FD's in the county had them.

According to their website, they're done. Closed for good. "Due to Unwillingness by the FDNY to allow them to operate".

So this guy carries a gun? He is not stopping any crime. He does not even seem to know what is going down.
As for Empire City, I think they are just Rent-A-Cops. No real power just kinda hold ya till Yonkers PD comes. If they go ahead with getting tables games and make it a full Casino then maybe some full power officers will be employed. Won't need singing old people

Ex-FDNY Ladder 44 now used by a tree company in New Hampshire...

Considering O2, glucose, charcoal and aspirin, metered dose inhalers, nitro, epi are all considered medication in the BLS protocols, unless you are a CFR/EMT I would ditch any of those from a BLS jump bag if it is not used by members certified to use them (not that BLS is carrying nitro, epi or mdi's.) Additionally, unless you are qualified to splint a limb or immobilize a patient using BLS equipment (backboard, collar, straps, splints, traction splint etc) I would refrain from attempting to splint any injury seeing as you can do more harm than good if it is done wrong.
I.E. unless you run as a state licensed BLS/CFR service, ditch anything that is considered a medicine or that you need special training to apply.
I wouldn't want some random firefighter who just happened to grab the jump kit trying to treat a patient, do it right or don't do it at all.
Let me finish this little statement with the belief that CPR/AED & CFR should be part of all intro firefighting courses. (and if we are adding time to FFI we might as well add FFII, Survival, AVET, FAST)
Just becasue you are a firefighter does not mean you will not be called on to treat patients. When was your last fire verse your last time seeing a patient on-scene?

Even an LASD Academy season too!

I remember watching OCFA Fire Academy on Fox Reality Network, that was a good show.

Man, you beat me in posting this from the other forum, lol.

FDNewYork,com has a great site containing Runs per apparatus, top 10, box look-up, firehouse locations,etc, etc, etc...!
