Every department has its own issues, EVERY department, paid or volunteer the issues exist. My advice to you, after having being in your shoes one point or another, is to run, take the position, and do what you can possibly do with it. Put your heart into what you do, train, take many classes and try to the best of your ability fix the current and your past issues. Treat people with repect and you WILL get repsect in return. Adress the problems at hand and try to repair them, your membership will be thankful...eventually. If you take heat, take it, use it as a learning tool while resolving what ver the issue at hand is.
Talk to other department heads, ask for help, guidance and you will come up with a solution. Make deciscions, make then as wise as you can and when you make a poor one, own up to it. Do not look for a scape goat, only you can admit to the unadmitable. Work with everyone, as a team, socialize as a team, do things together as a family. I am not telling you to go to someones home, that you wouldnt normally go to, but when you guys do something social, include who ever you can. Make the people that have "issues" feel included. Asking for outside help makes you a better person, doesnt make you unknowledgeable, makes you wise to realize you need additional help.
Good Luck!

Yesterday November 19th 2012, The Plattekill Fire Department was faced with another 2 tragic losses to its community during a time of year that is supposed to be filled with family memories, happy celebrations of what you are thankful for and the anticipation of another great holiday season, but was shattered by 2 separate fatal incidents who had us running on our feet.
I can tell you one thing though; through out my career in the fire service, I had the chance to work with some of the best professionals in the field. For this I am thankful. The 1st incident was difficult, difficult because when you are called to an incident; your mind set tells you what you have to do. Your mind runs through scenarios and ways you can mitigate the situation, quickly and safely as possible…and then you get there. And anyone knows who have had the chance or the job as a commanding officer can tell you everything you could have thought of while en-route WILL be changed in an instant and you must adapt to the current situation at hand. Did we know it was going take so long to get into the scene? No…
Did we think we were going to pull him out quickly and send him off the hospital to get his wounds treated? Yes…
Our members, Cronomer Valley’s members and Clintondales Members treated the scene with respect and professionalism that in my opinion goes unmatched by other incidents I have seen or read about. Again, this is something else I am thankful for… to have an extended family who wants the same professional outcome I do. To Cronomer Valley, Clintondale and Modena FD, I say thank you as once again you have gone above and beyond assisting the Plattekill Fire Department and personally me when I need you most
And then the second incident… it hits Cronomer Valley pagers and you can tell by the sound of the dispatchers voice that this was not going to be an easy incident, period. It rang through the command post like the wind, and people moved and shuffled, all while keeping the integrity of command post in tact. With in minutes our pagers opened up as the request for the Plattekill Stand by’s to respond as part of this MVA is in our district… I can tell you through years of stand by’s in other peoples quarters its not often you catch a fatal incident that you knew from the get go was serious. To our Mutual Aid department stand bys last night, Modena and Orange Lake, thank you for covering us at this one as your help does not go unnoticed. Wallkill and Marlboro thank you for filling in for both incidents… for all of you I am truly grateful.
I have to tell you; lately Cronomer Valley and Plattekill have seen a lot in the last few days, almost like we have become one agency, working together like we are a very well oiled machine. It’s been a rough month for both agencies and all I can say to you is, keep your head up, like I tell our members, we are here to help the community. We are here to help each other. And while doing so, may run across an incident effect you and how you look at things, the people you may help may even be some one you know. I am thankful for the opportunity to work with you guys as we would do anything for you and you have done anything for us.

So how is this going to work? Plattekill Ambulance 647 gets on the thruway at MM 67 Crash gate, tends to the incident and then transports to either St.Lukes, Kingston or Poughkeepsie. They will have to exit the thruway through a toll plaza. Now being no ticket was issued, will they have to pay the entire toll for the entire NYS Thruway system? Sounds kind of ill thought out... Just saying...
Can Albany say DUH!?!

Poorly worded statement.. many Larger city's run EMS, many mid sized city's run EMS and a crap load of VFD's run Medical.
When you run a MVA w/ Injuries you are "doing" EMS. Keep this in the back of your mind... a fire call can and has turned into a large EMS incident and an EMS incident can and has turned into a large fire based incident.
The basis that "we are a fire department" is * and void being that fire department is in the field of Emergency Services and you WILL do some sort of patient interaction with in your career, whether it be at a structure fire down to the measly public service pump out. No matter how you look at it, the 2 of them, fire and ems, must work together . The 2 of them have worked together and some are very successful in doing so.
The attitude that One is better than the other needs to stop because going into an incident with that attitude and mind set, you will: 1 Make your self look like an A*&, 2 Hurt Someone and 3 Possibly Kill Someone.
Open your mind, train with each other and don't let 300 years of tradition impede modern progress.
Just my 2 cents...

And while Winona Lake and Orange Lake were operating at this fire, the stand by companies, Goodwill FD and Plattekill FD, were dispatched for a 2nd fire, reported kitchen fire on 17K. Goodwill arrived on scene first and made a quick knock down while Plattekill hit the hydrant (Yeah I know that sounds funny, Plattekill at a Hydrant)and did some vent work.

The best advice I can give you is build your gear to YOUR needs. Don't let some pushy sales person come in and tell you that you "Need" PBI because its the best outer shell material. Yes, the test show that the PBI's are among the best for heat loss and heat protection...but remember it is ONLY an outer shell. PBI that Morning Pride uses is the SAME PBI that Cairns, Globe, Sperian ETC Uses. Just Because something has a PBI Outer shell does not mean it is going to be ergonomically correct for your body movements or shape. You want to find the best "fitting" gear prior to deciding on where you want your name or what padded knees you think you want.
Do not purchase gear because your neighbors use it. They may a certain brand for some irrelevant reasons to the actual performance of the the gear therefore not having a fair review of view on particular turn out gear. They may have purchased the gear for such reasons as they are close to a particular sales person or my favorite line, "What they got for free" In my opinion if your choice came down because of what you were "given", then you do not deserve to be in the position on making the decision on peoples safety equipment only because the free pair of gloves of received does not make that the best gear for you. At that point you might as well been put in a burlap sack and some salad bowls. If a vendor chooses to give you something free after you have done your research and you placed an order then fine.
Call Volume is very important, types of calls are just as important though. You could do 1000 calls a year, most of them being EMS and MVA's and very few fires, then PBI is not for you. Stick to the Nomex/Kevlar blends such as Advance, Advance Ultra or Crusaders out shells. Be sure to research your thermal liners and moisture barriers as well and make them part of the comfort process.
I have worn Globe GX7, Xtreme, Cairns Agis and Sperian Ultramotion and Sperian Vectra through out the years. I have found that believe it or not the Sperian has been the best fitting gear I have worn and I am not saying this because I sell the line but because I wore it BEFORE I sold the line.
Remember to keep your safety in mind, your current gear issues in mind and what you would like to see in the future of your choices. Just because some thing "Looks" Cool does not mean it is or in fact that it will even work for you. Add your personal touch and TELL your sales person what YOU want and not what he would like to see.
I hope this helps. Be safe and Good Luck!
