    Earlier this week, I had the chance to go to Los Angeles. I'll be sharing some of the photos on this thread over the next couple of days.
     
    For those who haven't seen it, my photos of LA City FD's Heavy Rescue 56 can be found here.
     
    First up is Los Angeles County FD, they had this 2017 KME Tractor sitting at the shops, awaiting mating with a USAR Trailer.

    Last Sunday,  I had the opportunity to look over and photograph this unique and impressive rig!
     
    2016 Peterbilt 567  with a Century 50 Ton Rotator (can be remote controlled) and body, 10KW generator, and air compressor syste,m, amongst many other customizations.
     
    This rig replaces a similar rig, a 2003 Peterbilt/Century, which will become a fully equipped spare. The spare is replacing the former spare, which will be kept in the USAR caches.
     
    Thanks again to the crew at Station 56 and the HR56 guys!

  13. x635 liked a post in a topic by JackEMT in Capital District (NY) say good-by to a legend   
    Tomorrow the Capital District (NY) will be paying their respects to Richard Beebe.
    Rich will be greatly missed and leaves a huge hole in EMS.
    He spent countless hours as a nurse, paramedic, teacher, mentor, friend and family man.
    Every EMS professional in the Capital District area knew him in one way or another, took his classes or was taught by someone who learned from Rich.
    Many EMS professionals nationwide may have also used his study guides and not known the man behind the text.
    RIP Rich, you will be greatly missed, but your spirit lives on through countless EMS professionals.

  14. JackEMT liked a post in a topic by SOUSGT in Memorial Day   
    Memorial Day is a day that we are supposed to remember our honored dead of the armed services. From the birth of our nation, to the conflicts of today, the soldiers who are supposed to be remembered on Monday are somewhat forgotten by our society in place of more secular endeavors. This holiday has become like many others, a few days to shop for discounted merchandise, or just a chance to get away for a few days. We tend to forget why some of us have the day off.  If it wasn’t for the sacrifices of those who gave their life for their country, we may be speaking a foreign language or living in a culture completely different then we are today. We owe our very way of life to the solders and sailors who have served in the past. This weekend, we shouldn’t think of the politics that got us into the past conflicts but reflect on those who did their duty and paid the ultimate price. We should also remember those in the emergency services that have died in the line of duty. Their sacrifice is none the less important. They also gave their life in service to their community.

    While we are grilling in the back yard, riding in a patrol car or working in a fire station, take a minute and say a prayer for those whom we are supposed to remember this weekend. Remember freedom isn’t free, many paid a heavy price for it.

    If you watch the Boston EMS tv series, patient and EMS staff complain about the ride of the International chassis.  So it's good to see they are looking at the F450 chassis (although I don't know that was the driving force on this decision).
    So I was surprised that FDNY was using those chassis for their rescue medic fleet (though storage space might be a major consideration here, where in Boston the rigs are purely ambulance/transport not multi-function as the FDNT rescue medic)
    Now if they fixed the roads, that would help too...

    Nice!  Bronco's always had a small cult following and it's not because of OJ!

    What are the "restraint" restrictions? My co-worker said his mother-in-law is at a facility in Rhode Island and they are not allowed to put up bed rails because it's a form of "restraint" So the facility puts mattresses on the floor for the residents that are fall risks.
    Really?!
