My Guess the Yonkers General Alarm this week will make it somewhere in the list.

←

THe general alarm last yr on Caryl ave will be close to the top.

I think the three new pupmers/sqd are SQD-311, 304, 303. THe new rescue will be like Chicago FD (Featured a few months back in Fire House or Fire Enginnering) L74 and L70 the new ladders. Yonkers has really mad an effort to keep their rigs uptodate in the last several years.

Exactly what everyone is saying communication. Everyone( dept members) must be on the same page when talking about nothing showing. If you are responding and someone says nothing showing is safe to assume from the outside. Sometimes yes if that is the meaning that is understood by everyone. Remembering that you can not be complacient such as the example given earlier by HFD with the basement fire. You can not just sit back and take your time getting to a call or go in and check it out w/o a pack.

Just passing through. I am on the YFD and my numbers were as follows when I took the exam several years ago. All testing the same execpt for the ladder treverse.(removed because it was too dangerous:)

hose drag 18.49

Hose pull up tower 15.88

stairs 39.67

pulley lift 10.51

Hope this helps.

This is always a hot topic for us at the YFD. No one has ever been able to tells us exactly how it is graded. I wonder if anyone questioned state civil service and recieved any answeres.

You are only speaking for yourself. How many times do you see a senior person (not time on the job) who does not look physically fit at all.
