The photos are TEMPORARILY REPOSTED. Please read the message on the that page for further details. It's with great hesitation (and sadness) we are posting these photos,since we do not beleive in promoting negative eventsin the fire service, however the decision was made after much discussion since photos have already been seen by many in the Journal News, News 12,email, etc The photos were originally taken down out of respect for the members of E119/T10 and CFD, but the decision was made to TEMPORARILY repost the photos due to extremly heavy demand from many sources. We wish the crew a speedy recovery Related:Recent Jacksonville, FL Tanker Rollover From JRFD.com http://www.jfrd.com/images/Tanker%2031%20R...32304/index.htm

The pictures are down temporarily, and it was completly my decision, out of respect of the members of E119/T10 and CFD. I really don't like to post those types of photos, but due to the heavy demand, I will *reconsider* posting on Saturday. I'm glad the crew was alright.

Scenario Submitted By:x635 You've just been appointed Training Officer for your department. Your smaller department provides Fire, Rescue, And EMS services, and does approx 300 fire and 500 EMS calls a year. Your Chief has complete confidence in you and given you the go-ahead for anything you might feel is neccasary, and you have unlimited funding thanks to a special grant. The former TO was never around,and when he was didnt do much, and many members of your department are new, or older and have gotten lazy or bored and non complacent. What would your primary intial goals be as it relates to improving training and boosting enthusiasm for operations as a TO for your FF's? (Note: Still Looking For More Scenario Submissions. Anybody Wishing To Contribute, See The WWYD Writers Wanted Thread)

Anybody get their results from the WC FF Exam in May? If not, any idea when they are supposed to be coming out? Anxiously Awaiting, LOL

Truckies, What Do You Prefer, And Why? Vote above.

Part I: A $10,000 grant has been made available to a department in Westchester who makes the best case for the need. What would YOU purchase to improve your department's suppresion or rescue operations and WHY? Part II: If there is enough entries in this thread, we will "award" the fictional grant to one member based on membership input in a yet-to-be determined way. Again, this is fictional, no real money exists, lol.

EMTBravo.com, with the logistical support and idea of EMTBravo Network Members, has decided to conduct a 2003 run survey of Westchester Fire and EMS Departments. Several members have expressed their interest in this, and we thought it would be a informative feature. www.emtbravo.com/RunSurvey Any Chiefs, or their designees, may submit their department's information to EMTBravo@EMTBravo.com. We are asking that only Chiefs or their designees (Dept Officers,Record Keeper,etc) submit information so that we can reflect only the most accurate,truthful, and quality information.

This thread was created in result of a good post by the member below regarding an IA. The original post, which this thread is based on, was deleted, since negative critiquing/"armchair quarterbacking" of incidents is prohibited in the IA forum, and since the member did not mean to come across as he did. FYI, the comment was not bad,just voiced an opinion regarding the alarm level, which, for the reason described below, I deemed inappropriate. Feel free to discuss the issue of armchair quarterbacking on this thread.

(I picked this question up off another forum. It was asked to the person presenting the question during a promotional examination) You're first due to a 2 story house fire, reports of 2 trapped. You're second and third due engines are delayed due to just checking back from a call on the other side of town. While enroute, your engine strikes another vehicle. At this point you are less than a mile from the fire. You have not yet checked the occupants of the other vehicle to determine injury. Describe all actions from the start of the accident.

From where we left off and the members responses so far...... ( I know this is extremly obscure, but anythings possible nowadays) Although he is elderly, he states he is 70, appears in quite good physical shape and you have learned he runs and lifts weights daily. He is a prominent lawyer who you now reconize, especially since he has succesfully sued your FD for negligence. As you go to physically remove him, he pulls out a Glock 9mm pistol. He says you were given the oppurtunity to leave, but didn't. He orders you to stay still, and when you accidentally make a sudden move, he fires off a warning shot. He orders you to remove your airpacks and radios and drop them out the window on the other side of the room, opposite where the bucket is. It is now just you and the rookie on the truck, since the other FF with you had to leave due to a turnout gear problem. Your contemplating attacking him with the pack as your weapon, but you can tell you will be shot if you do approach him. He states he is doing this because firefighters coudln't save his wife from a fire several years ago, and its "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth, payback".He says that he wasnt going to keep you intially, but changed his mind when you stayed to "harrass" him. He states he doesn't want to shoot you if he doesnt have to, because you need to know what his wife went through. The room is filling slowly with smoke. What do you do? Are you stuck, or can you think of a movie-star move? Or can you think of firefighter survival skills or other things you are taught that can save you...and him?
