hey did anyone see the eppisode tonight. It was good and the season is looking good BUT! Did anyone notice that the fd was not involved in the opening credits. Maybe it was just tonight but maybe it wasn't I wonder what this means for the up coming season. What ever happened to a show that just had the fd in it, and people looked foreward to seeing it in a week. ](*,) TV SUX :sad:

especially when responding to croton from the hills with 57. I had the map out but that truck has such a bounce and the streets were so small in the hagstram....LOL #-o

I'm hoping to get the pictures to seth by tomorrow [-o<

does yonkers use different 10 codes, what is a 10-29 and a 10-30

Mark it was so quiet when you were around, you leave and look what happens :cry:

Yea I'm definately up there in the weight class but anyways I really wouldn't take more then two up. It's just to tight to move around and operate. As well as the fact that the doors to the buck open in, I'm thinking about looking into seeing if we can change them to open out. That would help big time but I still think that I would just take two

EX 635 WROTE

57 Truck is not your typical 'scope!! LOL (I thought some of the Hills guys liked the rig but it's Seth's baby)!!!!!

fire was toned out at about 06:32 and we bedded 57 down at the scene at about 10am. Shortly there after were returned. All visible flame was gone and all that was left was alot of over hauling. I'm not exactly sure about the extent of the damage but as you can see from the photos there was a lot of smoke fire and water so it;s probablly through out the entire house.

no one was at home at the time of the call, the house was under

construction as well. Good job done by all departments on scene considering the fire load in the building..

PICTURES WILL BE POSTED VERY SOON!!!!!!!

What did you guys start carying scba's and gear in the work cars.......lol just kidding :---)

good time saw a lot of people. photos to popst soon!!!!

anybody know when the events start i rally want to go just dont know how early t wake up.... Also any good directions to get there, anywhere out of the hills and I'm, lost LOL

I just saw engine 167 pass me on the way to work. Althiugh I couldn't turn my head fast enough, I believe they are done striping and lettering and now it's on it's way to the radio shop. Hopefully it will be in service soon. By the way it has Red 167 painted on the grille just like Yonkers, looks like a hot rig.

I hate to say it but there is no easy was to clean diamond plate. I found that the mothers aluminum polish is the way to go. Apply with a old t-shirt, work it in real good until it gets real black or dark ( then u know its working). After a little bit (not to long or it is impossible to take off) rub like crazy with a nice towel. Once u have it all off take another clean towel and rub it again it will take off all the left over polish. The only problem is thet u need a large supply of towels to accomplish the job. You can also use a buffer with a pad or a drill with a pad but again, everything gets torn up by the diamond plate. ](*,)

The most important thing is once its clean you have to maintain the diamond plate. Don't let water air dry on it. That is why it dulls so fast, after callls have the crew do a quick wipe down (yea right).

Happy Birthday Seth Hope you have a great day!!!!!!!!!! And by the way thank you for the effort and the time you put into EMT BRAVO, without this site I know that I would be bored.

THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Iliked the first one but then last night came around. I don't know anymore, last nights show was a little dissapointing. The show seems to take off in eight ways as opposed to staying on a couple of topics. I don't know why but I got real bored with it last night and almost fell asleep. I'll watch next with hopes that it can only get better. P.S Did anyone notice that when the truck co. pulled up to the mva that the hooks on the side were attached by the tops of them but the bottom of the hooks were still swinging back and forth after the truck had stopped, becauce there was nothing holding the bottoms..........

whats the web site ?

WOW thats a great idea!!!! I've used the tic for a lot of different things but (thank god [-o< ) I've never used it to find a lost firefighter. But that is definately a good idea about the pressure regulator, I never that the temp was that big of a difference..... Thanks THENDICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just another add in on this topic, for the drill if the members do run out of air see what they do when they run out. Most will panic and rip off their entire face mask. When they should actually stay calm and remove just their regulator. You can definately filter some of the bad air out by covering the hole with your nomex or a glove. It will only help you withstand the heat in the room and it will also help keep some of the smoke out of your eyes.

looks pretty good, I got a cd fot the computer with a couple of actual scenes from the show from a friend in the city. Can't wait it starts on wed at 10 pm, hopefully it is better then third watch has been in the past couple of episodes.

tl 57 was on scene for approx 2 minutes before returning. There was a contractor on location, who was cutting some concrete on the roof in the rear of the building (where their doing construction on the building). I was inside so I'm not so sure how it started but the worker put the majority of it out before fd got there. Very minor damage to the roof and little smoke inside. Good job by all on scene and props go out to ssfd for having a 35' ladder on their first due engine, other wise they wouldn't have gotten to the roof where the fire was...... =D>

I'm sure that the mt kisco mutual fd will be happy to get the open space back in the rear of their house. With the ambulance going to their new hq, it frees up the space for training. Or maybe for a new rig to come with option of keeping that awsome MACK in the back row!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-P

To answer my own question I think that many westchester depts once on scene at an incident bigger then a auto alarm (ex. structure, piaa, smoke in a structure.........) tend to use 46.26 as a talk around channel. Maybe they are giving orders to rigs or giving a progress report to incoming rigs, but many times this will go on for the length of the call. Does every dept have a fireground freq. seperate from 46.26? I guess that I'm lucky in my dept because each riding position on each rig has a high ban radio which we turn on as soon as we are responding. This frees up 46.26 for any dispatching or responding apparatus. The high ban radios work for at least a mile if not longer away. So it's pretty good, if the chief has any special instructions for the apparatus he can use the high ban as opposed to 46.26. Of course this is only my opinion and I know that each dept has its own sop's and sog's

Here is a question I have been dying to ask for awhile. This topic is not meant to bash or single out and certain department in westchester so please choose your words wisely.

Question: Do Westchester Departments use 46.26 as a talk around channel once on scene at an incident way to much?

i dont't think stat flight actually responded. I listened for awhile and I believe that a chief on location said that the patient was stable and to stand stat flight down. Unless they changed their minds?

wow that was a horrible accident. I can't believe that it was caught on film, it looks as though both vehicles were going pretty fast. I send my wishes to all involved in this accident and hope for a speedy recovery [-o<
