    My information source is someone who was there. And its wrong. A major accident is our terminology. Any accident on a boat is usually a major accident. Nothing was severed. His arm was never detached. You reposting a bull$hit email serves no purpose.

    Danbury is 15 minutes away, Westchester is at least 40 if not more. In Albany County they had a system where each dept if they had the desire could be a part of a specialized team. Luckily here our soil is not very sandy so its fairly stable. This was operator error, not a result of a true trench collapse. Realistically a cache of shoring should be kept somewhere other than at Home Depot in case $hits on. Basic building construction and knowing about loads and how to transfer them is not as common as it once was. New guys text and are on playstation all day and not out building a tree fort like they used to.

    What should be taught to everyone regardless of experience is the need for something to be done. Not meaning do something if you are just standing there, but make sure everything that should be done is being completed.
    Adequate line like this story exposed.
    Adequate egress.
    Adequate manpower for relief.
    Adequate monitoring of members levels of exhaustion.
    I still to this day can not figure out some things that are different between fighting a fire at work and fighting one for free (volunteer). Always a difference even though the only thing you need is water. Ill ask a main pet peeve in another thread now that I think about it.

    Because I know the answer already from anyone who was trained heavily and frequently I would like if only our volunteer members answer the following question.
    You have 4 lengths of 1.75 line with a combination (fog) nozzle on it. How many PSI would you provide at the pump panel. Please if you could provide an example of your math.
    Thanks

    I know how I would do it, especially if you have pre connected cross lay lines. Keep the simple tricks coming. You have no idea how many times I have had to call for more pressure, not once have I ever had to ask for a decrease, that is what the shut off is for.

    And a lot simpler to figure out at 3am when the place is wripping. Take the NASA formula above and toss it! WTF!

    In radio and voice contact is still considered supervision. If you are not comfortable doing a search alone you should resign.

    Oh and lets not forget about the dead husband! We could not have possibly saved him he was definitely gone by then too. I have unfortunatly been present for LODD's. Doing a 360 would have done nothing to prevent them. You should perhaps read them yourself. But that is totally off topic. Nothing and I mean NOTHING will save a life more than an aggressive firefighter. A BS kitchen fire took one life and almost took another. If you think walking around the building was worth when you are the ONLY guy there you need to grow a set.
