I've been hearing a lot about Crossfit training and now Crossfit gyms? How does it work, does it really work, and how time consuming is it every day? And, most importantly, how much does it cost?

Hey, what are your fitness goals?

I hate hearing this news. Shakes you up pretty darn good. May he rest in peace, and may god bless him and his family!

Rest in peace. God I hate hearing this news. I wish his family the best to deal with this tragic loss.

Thanks for putting this up...some get brainwashed by media and don't realize who our true idols should be...Rest in peace, god bless these Marines and their families.

Great Job!

What was Whitney Houston's worst hit? ..... The one that killed her.

She does not need this attention and praise. Completely pathetic.

It's about time a company is wise enough to order a Cummins for a utility. I love it.

My deepest condolences go out to the victims' family and friends. What a horrific Christmas. God Bless and RIP.

Get the job done first, safety second.

Not surprised that there is only ONE reply to this thread. After all, the guy was JUST a cop doing his job who got shot in the face. Who cares right?

Let's talk about ID'ing old rigs, which buff lights are the brightest and why Johnny didn't have his helmet on at the scene of that outside rubbish fire.

This site is a disgrace sometimes.

Rest in peace PO Crouse, and may the lord be with your family, friends and co-workers in their most difficult time of need.

I second this ^. RIP and God bless PO Crouse's wife and kids, and help them get through this.

All the best to his family and the rest of FDMV. This is a hard loss. RIP Brother.

Awesome job guys, and great story!

Just curious how various departments run their pump training/certification. Do any departments require the county pump-ops course, follow a certain checklist for know-hows, leave it to the trainers discretion or a combination of all of these things? Just curious on what has been most effective in the past for departments. Thanks guys.

Thank you guys for all of the great responses...I'm trying to see what works best in other depts...

This thread should answer all of your questions...

Yeah this thread said "about a month according to human resources." 6 months later and no results.

Has there been any word on when exam results will be released? Were coming on 7 months now since the test was taken. Thanks guys.

Leave the bridge up so that the jumpers don't tie up traffic

He's got a point.

Diesel Pro's

More torque (You're going to need it with all of that weight)

More efficient than gas

Runs cooler than gas (Helpful because they spend a lot of time idling)

Diesel engines last longer than gas engines

Diesel Cons's

Takes longer to warm up, but usually isn't a problem because most ambulances are stored inside.

Diesel is the way to go.

Exit 8 off I684, off of Hardscrabble Rd (Fields Lane, precisely). One of the best places I've found in Westchester so far. It is private property but from what I'm told, the owner actually allows people to ride on it. There are many different terrains there also (Traditional trails, steep hills, 90 degree bank turns and open flat areas with jumps.)

Considering Texas' road conditions, 85 is totally acceptable.

The area is supposed to be hit with another storm this coming saturday. Does anyone know if the seminar will be cancelled or bumped to Sunday if conditions are too bad?
