  6. you cant hate anyone in the cornerstone,if you do the lights go up and everybody gets kicked out.
  7. if there is a rescue harness built into the coat ,i would guess the closure would come into play when put under stress.
  8. yonkers incident as follows:car making legal u turn from northbound lane to southbound lanejust north of i-87 overpass.car actually turned directly under a 9000 gasoline tanker and wedged under tank with tanker coming to rest under i-87 .driver of truck attempted to help other driver but could not as tanker has lit up.i believe it went to 3 alarms as the entire 1st and 2nd alarms were involved with some heavy foam evolutions.due to heavy fire under overpass,i-87 was buckeled and had to be rebuilt.just a note the third alarm(i was part of) was sent to look for wrecks on 87 because cars and trucks were actually driving thru the fire that was coming up from expansion joints on the bridge,some spots as high as 10 feet.white plains incident involved prpane truck that hit overpass when driver fell asleep.Ill leave those details to the boys from the plains or greenburgh.
  9. they sell rubber slip on toe protectors for training purposes.

  19. I can recall going to a couple of rallys for MV a while back.At one there was a response to an alarm nearby,along comes the truck complete with only an officer and a driver.Thats when i realized how bad it was. And you are right ,maybe now is the time for some action.spread the word and we'll be there to support you.
  20. Just to add something,FDNY protocol is for second due engine to help the first line get water on the fire which adds up to 8 + men stretching a line???MV does the same with 25% of that.Yet, MV has alot Populous sections of the city including alot of prewar non-standpipe buildings,much like the bronx.FDNY is successful because of manpower,MV is sucessful because they bust their a**.This is a good thread, maybe this can be brought to light finally before something unfortunate happens.
  21. very well said
