Agreed, and I believe further proof in the needs for more people to become trained in CPR, especially with the increased push for hands only CPR. I think we would see more positive outcomes like this.

Great story, thanks for sharing. I love hearing positive stories such as this one.
Sounds like another case of being at the right place at the right time.
Way to go Jim and well wishes for a speedy recovery to Mrs Powers.

I believe Stamford, CT is trying to beat the world record for most people trained in CPR at a single event, so if you or any of your family are looking to learn, that's not a bad place to do it.

Amazing story about MLB Umpire Jim Joyce whose quick actions and CPR training paid off in saving a women's life.
Learn CPR and save a life, find out when and where your local fire or ambulance department is offering a CPR class, or American Red Cross.

Good Luck, nice looking rig!

Good luck! I like to see departments donating their trucks to departments in need HERE instead of other countries.

Cool Pics thanks for sharing!!

Nice shots. I like that Duck Tower Ladder. I've never heard of a straight stick be referred to as a platform.

Thanks for sharing your photos. It's nice to see more and more different people upload photos.

nwpfdjr27,
Great pics man, thanks for sharing.
I have been vacationing to the Outer Banks since around 2005 and actually got married there in August of 2009 (in Corolla).
It is a beautiful place that has definitely grown each year. The Southern Shores/Duck/Corolla area is unique as Route 12 is your only way in and out.
I think Duck FD has just recently added career staffing to keep up with the call volume.
I love the pics of the Currituck County Sheriffs truck. Call me biased, but I also drive a Nissan Titan lol. They even have their unmarked ones which are also white (blue lights replace the fog lights).
We met an awesome Deputy Sheriff who was a true gentleman. It was while we were going down there to plan our wedding and we met him in a coffee shop. We were concerned with gettig some of our elderly guests onto the beach. He gave us his personal phone number and promised he would personally drive our guests onto the beach if need be.
People down there are just so relaxed and kind hearted.
I am currently vacationing in Sunset Beach, NC and will try and get some emergency service pictures to share.
Glad you enjoyed your OBX vacation and I will agree, it's a must go whether you're single, a couple or with a family.

Nice pics. Was in Corolla in July. Very nice equipment. New houses are very large.

So I just finished up an incredible week out in the Outer Banks of North Carolina; for those of you who have been there, I really don't need to say more, and for those of you who have not been there, be sure to put it on your future vacation bucket list. I have never been one to take photos of apparatus, but with the help of my sister's new Nikon D60 camera, I figured I would give it a shot. I know some of the pictures didn't come out perfect, but I hope the majority are worth looking at.

Happy anniversary Scarsdale PD

They can't even get tomorrow's weather right and we are hanging our hat on their prediction for weather that is months away. You got to admit it is great to have a job that no matter how many times you are wrong you still have a job. It is always partly something.

I hope they're right. Thats my favorite season out of all.

Like a good neighbor state farm is there...with a new mast and sail!

Get Allstate, and be better protected from mayhem... like this.

Ouch.

Hope they had insurance...

Better get the carboatfax!

Whoops..

Being a jew myself I can speak freely. These individuals in almost EVERY aspect take advantage of the Earth. From the blatant violation of the sanctity of marriage to the flagrant misuse of the vehicle and traffic laws they just rape and pillage. I am so happy that I live in Putnam far from the filth that they call home in many towns in Orange and Rockland. I feel for all of you that must deal with these people with such a feel of entitlement. They use their supposed block voting to scare every single politician in to succumbing to their needs. We need someone with a set to just tell them to STFU get off welfare and stop playing games. All we need is a law stating that two people living together legally, and verified through surveillance, which I am sure we can get volunteers to do, shall not be the beneficiary of social services.
