This week's episode of "Dirty Jobs" features Mike visiting the San Francisco FD ladder shops, where they still make and repair all of the department's famous wooden ladders in house.
It's replaying this weekend, and will probaly replay multiple times in the future, as well as on demand on some cable systems.
The episode is:

The Bedford Hills Fire Department has recently taken delivery the new Car 2033, a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe - Special Services Series. The Whelen emergency lighting and Havis-Shields console was furnished by Warnock Automotive Group and installed by Pulsoni Custom Installations in Sleepy Hollow. The reflective striping and gold-leaf was completed by Forest Hills of Long Island. The vehicle is a duplicate to the current Car 2031, a 2007 Chevrolet 2500 Series Suburban and Car 2032, a 2009 Chevrolet 2500 Series Suburban.
The Whelen CenCom siren, Kenwood and Motorola mobile radios are housed in a Havis-Shields 30" console. Console accessories include: side mounted armrests, cupholders and a 9" storage compartment containing a vehicle charger for portable radio and a Streamlight Stinger flashlight.
A rear custom cabinet was fabricated by Chivvis Enterprises in Long Island. The cabinet provides storage for the command board, SCBA, gear and other related firefighting equipment. A special shelf was constructed to allow for the emergency radio equipment to be mounted on
swivels.
A special thanks to BHFD's very own Ex-Capt. Ross Burbank and his staff at Burquip in Bedford Hills for fabricating the custom mounting bracket for the Knox-Box Sentralock.

Not to out shine or out do anyone's bail out window simulator, but just to show different options or just a different window here is a link to our window.

I will try and take some new pictures to add to our site so you can see the finished project. In walking around the fd I noticed the perfect location for the window was in our hose drying room on the loft. When we first got the bail out we realized the need for on site training as opposed to going to the training center every time we got a new member or had to requalify members. The window was constructed in March of 2009 and has been used many times by BHFD members. Five members are qualified as trainers in the department and we follow a strict training policy for the bail out. At this point we have all but 5 interior members qualified on bail out, we also requailfy at least once a year ( with training packs) and at the same time we repack the members system and go over the power point presentation. With the window we use a safety line at all times and have two different remote tie off locations. One to the right of the window and one approximately 12 feet back from the window, simulating a tie off location somewhere in the room but not as close to the window. If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask we are always looking for input or different ideas.

I just wanted to take a minute to thank all the dispatchers at Westchester County Fire Control (60 Control) for all their hard work and patience throughout the last 48 hours. It's hard enough to juggle a couple of calls at the same time, let alone multiple calls by multiple agencies for a prolonged amount of time. Great job 60 Control Dispatchers you continue to impress the responders with your knowledge and professionalism on the radio at all hours of the day or night.
THANK YOU AGAIN
