RIP 343..We will never forget
 
 

The Day of Terror, September 11, 2001, when America was attacked.
 
This year marks the 15th Anniversary and we should NEVER FORGET. So many innocent lives were taken away. Including:
 
  343 - New York City Firefighters (FDNY)
  37 - Police Officers of the Port Authority of NY/NJ (PAPD)
  24 - New York City Police Officers (NYPD)
  8 - EMTs/Medics
 
It was the "Deadliest Attack on American soil".
 
 2,606 - killed from the World Trade Center, plus 6,000 injured.
  265 - killed from the Four planes that crashed (Two into the WTC, One in a field in Shanksville, Pa., and One into the Pentagon)
  125 - killed at the U.S. Pentagon
 
2,996 - Totally innocent Americans murdered that day. Each one not just a number, but a human being with families and friends who still miss them today. Today that count continues to rise as more people are dying from the effects of that dust cloud when those Two - 110 story buildings collapsed. For many of us we watched this all live on our televisions. WE MUST NEVER FORGET.
 
  All flights in America were forced to land. For the first and only time in America there were no planes flying. The only planes in the air were U.S. Fighter Jets.
 
  Many of the injured were expected to be transported by train to some of our hospitals in Connecticut. For my sister in law, an RN at Bridgeport (CT) Hospital, a Code D was activated. Meaning all off duty nurses were to report back to work. As they waited, nobody arrived.
 
  Retired FDNY Captain John Vigiano lost two of his sons on September 11, 2001. One a FDNY Firefighter (John) and the other a NYPD Detective (Joe). Ironically his two sons were often referred to as "The Twin Towers", named after the two World Trade Center Buildings.
 www.americanpolicenews.com/vigiano.html  
 
  Sometimes there were five or six funerals a day for those FDNY Firefighters. It was sometimes impossible for these firefighters to go to all of these funerals. There was a request made for firefighters from anywhere, just to show up in uniform to try and give each member the full fire department honor they deserved.
 
  Not only was it necessary to fill those 343 firefighter positions to give the city adequate coverage, but there was also a required amount of firefighters needed to continue searching through the huge pile from the collapse of these two buildings. In addition there was a commitment by the members of the FDNY to cover each and every firehouse in which a funeral was occurring. Just so that those who worked with them could attend the funeral of those they shared the same firehouse with. There were times when those guys did not get home to see their own families for weeks. And this went on for almost a year.
 
  Today, many Ground Zero Firefighters, EMTs, Police Officers, and other nearby Ground Zero workers have come down with 9/11 linked cancer. Others have severe breathing problems. PLUS, the other, over 5,400 people who have suffered from the 9/11 linked cancer. They were also exposed to that dust.
 
  There were many hero's that day. Each one with a story to be told.
 
  A country singer named Alan Jackson decided to write a song about it. He called it; "Where were you when the World Stopped Turning". For those of us who watched these events play out, it is a day we will Never Forget. To this day, 15 years later, it is still hard to believe. Our condolences to those who lost so many of your friends and family members. We thank all of the first responders and other workers involved for the job you did. A job that no one else in our civilized society, has ever had to do.
 
  As we listen to this song, these are some of the memories we saw. Live on TV as it happened, from The Day of Terror, September 11, 2001.

Police vehicles are not required to have DMV plates in NY, however, many municipal agencies have chosen to get official plates for their vehicles. Fire District vehicles in NY do not have to have DMV plates either, but many fire districts chose to have put them on their vehicles, especially the Chief's vehicles.

Why does this vehicle have official plates?
I though Police Vehicles were not required to have DMV plates in NYS? 
I looked back at older images, I see the DEP Police have had Official Plates on their vehicles for a while. I never noticed that before.
I am trying to think if any other agency in NYS has plates issued by DMV on their marked vehicles.
I know NYSP have plates from DMV, but those plates have the radio call # on it, these plates seem to be regular issue municipal plates.

Yes, it will hit us or it will miss us. 

Now I can be a meteorologist.
 

 
I HATED the 12/12/24 schedule. Good to see progress finally being made on it, yet I'm dubious to see if it sticks, especially when you factor in late jobs, mandatory training, and especially forced OT. The article is an interesting read.

But that douche bag Kaepernick can sit for our national anthem?!? 
We are really screwed as a society...

 
 
From what I've heard, once NY allows all EMTs to draw epi from a vial, the cost will drop dramatically for agencys that go that route. However you run into the problem of agencies that have volunteers and/or staff that work one or two shifts a month and then have a regular job in some office the rest of the time. Half of them don't know how to use an epi pen, and now we're going to train them in an advanced procedure, and expect them to do it the first time five years later in a life threatening situation? I know in my one agency, half the volunteers don't know how to use the nasal narcan, meanwhile we've had it for how many years now, it's super simple to use, and I feel like I'm using it at least once a week at this point.

     I have spent 28 years doing EMS in this area. The "chirp" of dieing smoke detector batteries is constant, except where there are NO detectors. I read that every $1.00 spent on smoke detectors save $67.00 in fire damage.
    If this area has more fires, by history, or some other measure, perhaps the Yonkers FD could concentrate their inspection and prevention efforts here?  Makes sense to try to prevent the fires in areas where they are most likely to occur, AND most likely to kill - wooden multi-family dwellings. The lives saved by an aggressive, concentrated effort may those of YFD firemen.
 
Please don't respond with the gibberish that it can't be done. We are problem solvers in this field. This is a problem for us. We can and should solve it.
 
Bill

Interesting article.

Obviously, everyone has heard by now of the Epi-Pen price increase designed to fatten shareholders pockets.
 
With that said, are some agencies using or switching to administering Epi with a syringe off of a bottle? Are EMT's in NYS allowed to use that method? The cost for doing that is around $10 or less a dose.

The privilege of driving fire department apparatus, including command vehicles, vans, and utility style trucks, is often abused because a deep thought that, "Oh, I can do what I want," or, "The cops won't stop this vehicle."  The abuse then leads to the public seeing us acting as morons, and occasionally we screw ourselves in the end by crashing (or severely damaging) the vehicle, never mind killing someone due to carelessness!  And, the privilege is abused by both paid and volunteer firefighters alike.  I've even seen a large FD owned van fly by me on Rt. 17 up near Roscoe (it belonged to a large city FD with BIG unmistakable markings on it).  But, this isn't about the type of firefighter who's driving the vehicle, because this kind of crap happens every where!  Rigs rolled over while out for a joy ride, command vehicles crashed resulting from DUI, apparatus wrecked de to a lack of situational awareness.  It happens all of the time, and it needs to stop!
 
The bottom line is, if you are given the privilege to drive any type of fire apparatus, remember that you are representing your department the entire time you are in control of that vehicle.  It has your markings, your patch, and your colors on it.  The public knows who that vehicle belongs to.  Drive in a manner that the public knows that you are safer than them.  Drive defensively.  When responding to alarms, drive like someone's life depends on it (because it may), but do it in a safe manner (remember the term "due regard" before you blow through that red light with red lights and siren blaring).  And, most of all, just use common sense!  Keep your eyes peeled and your ears tuned for traffic and pedestrians.  Stay alert to changing road conditions.  Stay in the moment and focus on what you are doing.  If we stay safe, the public stays safe.  If the public is safe, we have nothing to worry about.

When the Sh** is hitting the fan on the fire floor or the floor above, language frequently gets salty. Anyone who has spent some time in zero visibility and high heat while searching for life, forcing doors, getting a line into position or trying to find their way out would likely agree.

Given the circumstances they get a by. Sounds like he was calling for a line and it wasn't coming fast enough. I think we all have been in situations where the last thing we are worried about is our language. What is important is they got the job done and went home to their families
