Just a question for the departments who have their members driving to fire scenes. How does a department decide to allow their members to drive to the scene, and who makes the decission? I can understand why departments with paid drivers have the members drive to the scene but not other departments.

I assume that their are bennifits as well as down falls to both but I would think that it would be easier to respond to the fire station and man the rigs.

Hey seth first off hope you feel better, one question maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me but did that engine 69 have a CHROME deluge gun on it?

PATS ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

HO HO HO HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL. SETH THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO FOR US KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

believe it or not I have seen a couple of shots in the past years that show some sort of object in flame or smoke (or what looks like an object). There was one a couple of years ago that was a big commercial fire (don't know where) in a fire house mag that had a shot of a big firefighter in the flame. It's cool when you can find it.

seth, check out the flames coming from the left side of the image. looks like a firefighter. Prety cool!!!!!!!!!!! GREAT FIND FIRE BUFF

Question how dd the accident happen? I think the roads were wet at that time but I can't remember?

usually at any good news paper store, if you can't find iit there try boarders book store, I think that it comes out every wednesday if I'M correct.

Congrats Capt good luck in the year to come..... Maybe if you guys invite us again we will bring 57 over for another mutual aid job. lol

Nice shots!!! Wow news 12's coverage was a let down, like usual. But the coverage from news 7 was good seemed to cover the whole incident. =D>

i thought i heard two tankers from putnam getting dispatched over 40 control as well.

what would the class k fire be and what is the extinguishing agent in the extinguisher?

On the engines as well as the mini attack we have a dry chem, water can (just water), a Foam can (water and foam concentrate), and a class D. On the tower ladder we have a water can on the outside of the rig on both the passenger and drivers side as well as a water can in the bucket. On the rescue we have (I believe a water can as well as a dry chem. And in each of the chiefs cars we have water can and a dry chem. :blahblah:

a couple of the members of my enginge company are looking to make a company patch along with some stickers for povs. We got some good ideas from eagle emblems.com. The prices were reasonalbe and they seem to do great work. If we decide to use them or get the final product I will inform you ....

I just wanted to bring up this topic and see what people on the board thought as well as how their departments operate and respond to alarms. We all know that there are countless automatic alarms both commercial and residental throughout the fire service. Now my questions are as follows.

How does your dept respond to auto alarms, (does your oic tell you to 10-20, remain in quarters or does the apparatus make it to the call).

If your apparatus arrives on scene does the crew get off the rig to investigate the alarm, or do they remain on the rig while someone else checks it out.

Does the crew get off off of the rig prepared (tools/airpacks)?

What does the oic/officer do if a dispatcher calls to inform the incomming units that there is one of the following. (food on the stove, workmen on location, steam from the shower ect.....)

No one has to answer all of the questions just curious as to how things go down in other depts. I'll let some posts go by before throwing in my 2 cents.....lol

i almost didn't notice seth without the trust camera at his side, it wasn't that he couldn't use it. Someone must have left it at home. As the graet and almighty one would say DOH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #-o

correct it went yesterday afternoon for regular service. It always happens like that. ladder 43 from mkfd was there as well as the crew from R-10 preformed all truck opps during the call.

Hey Dayday, Who will have more hair u or the kid? lol
