No need to apologize as I did not take your post as an insult or "cop bashing" in any way, and I didn't take your post to heart. I was clarifying the roles, responsibilites, and dedicated mindset to service that true ESU officers possess. If you consider disseminating information to the membership who clearly don't understand the role of an ESU cop, then I guess you can call me "hypersensitive". There's a proven track record here on EMTBravo that most assume that ESU cops are cutting people out of cars and banging down doors on a daily basis despite the fact that the truth is that a significant number of requests for ESU services are to handle routine, even mundane, calls for service such as sick raccoon calls which some assume are simply calls for the "greenest of animal control officers" and not an ESU function.

No offense but who cares?

Well even if it would have taken EMS a little longer to get there, seems the cops had already saved the day and were just waiting on a transport at that point.
Job well done MTA PD

Well if they don't have the manpower, I reckon you can always put in a call to the State Police.

How dare they? Did anyone check them for "fireproof vests"? Wonder what the NYPD PBA has to say about this? "Who was guarding the hen house while they were playing firemen?"
Sarcasm off! Job well done men.

Do these count as grabs/rescues? I would imagine so given the brothers posing for the cameras with their saves. But humans, trapped in a smoke filled apartment getting saved by the cops=no good.

Why so much hate for the cops on this board? I can never understand it. These guys were asked to help out by THE FIRE CHIEF and they're still wrong in the eyes of some. It's almost like some guys would rather see the structure burned to the ground before they see PD being cast in a postitive light for helping out when REQUESTED by the fire chief.
Maybe, just maybe if that particular fire district was squared away, the cops wouldn't have to be doing their jobs.

You're not serious are you? Do you honestly think money is the motivating factor behind any professional who desires to share his knowledge and experience? Since you know everybody, why don't you go down and ask Bob Morris that and see what kind of reaction you get.
It is people with attitudes like yours who would turn this site into another worthless waste of time rant. Everybodygoes....just go. lol

This is akin to realzing how badly you're losing the game that you take your ball, call it quits and run home pouting.
The most informative, articulate and concise post on here and you call it "long winded". If you are who you say you are, truly a disappointment.

Convoluted? Seemed pretty concise and in-line to myself and a couple other members here. Wikipedia... Hardly... It's from taking the time to educate myself so when discussions like this take place I can at least articulate my stance with some level of insight and maturity instead of sounding like someone who's not getting his way and resorting to personal attacks.

The best part is, it happened, all the whining in the world wont reverse that, and you know what it probably wont stop the FD from asking for help again. Good job brothers. I sure as hell wouldnt b**** about cops trying to lend a hand, and id lend a hand to them in a heart beat.
