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.

Thanks CG ,......Just Wanted To Add,Thanks To And Photos By LMFD99, And Submitted By Daveg644

(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?

Please try to substantiate your thoughts with comments more than one line long, especially those comments that are known to brew. The Seagrave vs. KME battle has been fought here before, and it's not neccasry or productive to rehash it. There's another thread on KME's if you'd like to voice your opinion on those. The issue with Seagraves, as well as the benefits, have been discussed on this thread, and if you'd like further information, please read through the old posts. This thread, "New Apparatus", is off topic and long, so it is going to be locked. When hearing or inquiring of a department that is going to be recieiving or has recieved a new apparatus, please check to make sure that thread does not exist, and if it does not, create a new thread to share the information about the delivery. Thank you.

I know Banksville just completed renovations on their firehouse, and Armonk is building a new one. On the EMS side, Mount Kisco VAC is building a brand new structure next to the Independent Firehouse. If anybody has pictures, email me for posting on EMTBravo.com

Dear EMTBravo.com Members and Visitors: Today marks the one year anniversary of EMTBravo.com. What started as my personal site to share my photos and news with my friends has evolved and grown (with everybody’ support) into something tremendously beyond my wildest belief. Recently, and unexpectedly, we lost of our files (Note we still have backups of ALL of the pictures). Despite this major, major setback and loss of hundreds of hours of work on my part, we will rebuild . This time around, we will be using new software (once I purchase it), possibly a new web host, and procedures that allow me to back up my data on a regular basis. We also will use this opportunity to try some new ways of doing things, and a revised focus, so as always suggestions and feedback is always welcome. . Here’s the part that’s tough for me. During the month of January, I will be completing the final part of my internship for school, riding 12 hours shifts 7 days a week with a busy EMS agency for 2 ½ weeks. At the end of January, providing I successfully pass the internship and the finals, I will be graduating. During the first week of February, I will be taking my state exams for another class. Hence, this will be a busy time for me and I need to focus on this in order to successfully move on to the next step in my career and complete what I have worked so hard for over the past year (Also, I need my career to finance this site, lol) This site is extremely time consuming to produce and manage, and I ask for your patience during this period. So, what does this all mean? During January and February, expect EMTBravo.com to be dormant (No/Few Updates). EMTBravo Network will still be up and running with the help of the moderators, however new member registrations will take a few-several days to process. We encourage you to contribute to these forums and respect the rules. Also, replies to emails to me (EMTBravo@optonline.net or my AOL address) will be delayed. (The @EMTBravo.com address is suffering from issues, so we ask that you not use that for the time being) Just a reminder, this is a community site. I just orchestrate it. Thanks again to all of you who continue to make this site such a success! Happy New Year!! -EMTBravo EMTBravo@optonline.net P.S. I really appreciate everybody’s support!! I look forward to building a better EMTBravo.com in 2004. I truly hope you will all be here when I get back, lol. P.S.S- To all the members who submitted content since the crash, it will be posted when updates resume.We ask you use discretion when submitting content until January 20th as to not overload my mailbox. Thanks.

On 12/29/03, 2 days shy of the 1 year annivesary of EMTBravo.com, while trying to upgrade the bandwith of the site with the host, a software conflict on their end deleted the ENTIRE EMTBravo.com website. I have an email out to them at this time, and hopefully they can retrieve the contents of the site. If they cannot, EMTBravo.com will have to be rebuilt, from scratch. We do have a backup of some of the site, but all the files would have to be re-uploaded. If that is to be the case, EMTBravo.com will (slowly) relaunch at an unknown date. After countlessof hours spent working on the website, I am obviously very upset about this. Being as the next 3 1/2 weeks I will not have much time for the site, I do not know when it could be relaunched, although every effort will be made to expedite such. I will keep you advised on this thread, and I ask you to refrain from calling, emailing, or IM'ing me about the status of the site as it will only stress me out more. I really hope you all will stick with me through this. Thanks :x -EMTBravo
