  4. I'm glad the volunteer officers have the balls to admit something is wrong instead of trying to sweep it under the rug. Oh wait.... idiots
  5. That SRT-8 looks mean!!
  6. Can't bend an aluminum rim hitting a pothole.
  7. I'll just say this again. According to google maps, this address was .61 miles in Montrose's district from the border of Mohegan. Mohegan Engine 255 Responded to this incident.
  8. Anyways. Just wanted to clear one thing up in regards to the possibility of a ground rescue. From someone on scene. These two cadets buddy rappelled down the side of the mountain, therefore making the distance to their top anchor point infinite. They got to a point where with the amount of rope they were carrying, one could not rappel and get a good anchor, thus getting stuck.
  9. Anyone hear anything more about the test? Like locations?

Or something exploding and spraying who knows what burning liquid all over the place, as seen in this video...
  15. I have to agree with you and that mask statement Bet thats the last time he's gonna walk up to a car fire without a mask.
  16. All airports closed, not expected to open till after 4pm.
  17. Looks like one mic may be sitting on the floor. The mount for it is visible in the picture.
  18. From what I've heard, nobody has hired, so I don't think there is a need for the academy(again). Hopefully after the new test comes out....
