  2. Last I knew it did
  3. That's it alright. Thanks! I will look a little more with this better info!!!
  4. Quite a few years ago there was an article published about the staggering amount of fire apparatus on Long Island, and how it compared (in numbers) to 3 major cities, FDNY, LAFD, and one more I cannot think of, off the top of my head. Is it published online somewhere anymore, I cannot find it?
  5. Also consider it for what purpose you are putting a signature on it. If it is in a non-descript area, it could easily be cropped out and re-used. For demo purposes, I would recommend putting it somewhere that it partially gets in the way, and if someone REALLY wants a good copy, have to contact the original person direct. That or a good Watermark software.
  6. Does anyone know what sort of compensation they offer for EMT-B or Dispatcher? I didn't see anything in regards to that on their site. I know a lot of places have different rates based on experience, but does anyone have any ballpark figures? Can post here if you want, or feel free to PM me.
  7. In having previous experiences with similar situations, I was told that it was just the dye changing color. This is also minor change, not a large area, or concentrated 'damage' to one area. As alsfirefighter said, still could not hurt to contact Scott direct, or, your distributor for your product. https://www.scottsafety.com/en/us/Pages/ContactUs.aspx
  8. Seems to me that most standard CFR/ARFF trucks are top-heavy.
  9. Disgraceful.... I have never been a fan of Gov. Christie or his policies since Day 1. He just doesn't give a crap. I am having trouble finding one video I saw a couple months ago as he tried to dance around questions regarding salary cuts, and questioning him about cutting his own, or his staff's salaries. Really kind of summed it up for me.
  10. The other things aside from information overload, is the over-reliance on the technology to compensate for inability to actually see. I have seen it too many times already with TIC's. People walk/crawl around with them almost attached to their faces, and almost solely rely on that to navigate/work. I can see people become TOO reliant on this type of a system they will lose/forget their other senses (including common sense) on how to read and interpret their surroundings. I do like the concept, I just think your average structural fire may have a bit too much going on to properly use all the functions/features available.
  11. Its not that they are obsolete, the problem is that the general fire service has become complacent.
  12. What is an unconcientous person? Unconscientious as in not guided by their conscience? Maybe that's why they ended up a victim in the first place.
  13. Uh, did you read any of the previous posts. I think it is well established who they are, and where they operate out of. Just sayin'
  14. Also be careful what you post on here. There are PLENTY of FDNY persons that are members, and you never know who it is, or who knows who.
  15. I just tried to join and got the same message, it shows 4 people in the room.
  16. Some interesting points brought up. Although not everyone thinks that being canceled is the worst thing in the world. Going out to that AFA at 3AM in the middle of a storm, winter or otherwise, sometimes its better to just get returned instead of being out on the road and continuing in. I have heard some departments that continue apparatus in just to fill out a report. There is an IC on the scene, but they bring a typical response in just to fill out paperwork. Understand your thoughts are for 'ideal conditions', just saying that sometimes, probably more with volunteer departments. Some people have to/want to get back home to dinner, their loved ones, or work (for those decreasing employers that allow people to leave work to attend alarms). A GREAT resource I have found that posts a lot of "Hey, look what I found during a Medical Assist or AFA call" is: http://www.vententersearch.com/ Lots of stories, and pictures of interesting things found, and the "oh my God that is insane" ones are nice to learn from as well. Really gives you an idea to keep all your senses about you on EVERY run.
  17. Just as much as the people down there are permitted to Peacefully Assemble under the First Amendment, so are the people here allowed to have their own opinions, and express them, under Free Speech (the same amendment). Everyone is entitled to have their own opinions. I get disappointed listening to politicians and some of the things they write/say/promise.
  18. What are you doing with a Tranny in your Ranger?? Here we go!!!
  19. At least as of right now, you have a whopping choice of an 11.6" Acer, or 12.1" Samsung model. Understandably it is not designed to be a full-fledged "do it all" laptop/computing system, but personally, I would like to see a few more options/models/sizes before considering. All in all, its still a "new product" out there on the market that is going to catch some attention from those looking to get away from "the norm" of choices.
  20. Over heard an Orange County Collapse team being dispatched to assist Sullivan (Monticello?) with a roof collapse with 2 males entrapped, anything further? (Since I cannot post in Shoutbox)
  21. Thanks guys, I don't have the best reception for that area, and only caught bits and pieces!
