    I remember seeing guys walking around the park with serious road rash after they bailed on the alpine slide with no shirt on. How about how cold the spring fed water was on the tarzan swing? I can recall the lifeguards pulling several people out of the water because they almost went into shock when they hit the water. Then there was the death and destruction I saw at Vernon Valley Great Gorge.......memories

    The end to automatic mutual aid response from BFD is from an order from Jan 1, 2008 written by the Captain who was the Communications Supervisor at the time @ 911. The authority was from the SFRD Chief and the Director of Public Safety. As for mutual aid specific to Glenbrook, the only directive @ 911 from the GFD Chief states that the only people who can take command at a Glenbrook incident are SFRD officers or Glenbrook officers. This stems from several incidents when a neighboring dept. chief caused some issues in Glenbrook- which I would rather not state in this forum.

    Whoa! As the Captain refered to in this post, let me clarify. When Belltown went fully volunteer an order was sent to me by Chief Didelot altering their outgoing mutual aid policy to include structural fires, and smoke conditions. I altered the CAD to honor these changes. Belltown was always available to respond upon request. Regarding Glenbrook, 348's statement is accurate, I recieved that order from Chief Passaro during my tenure at 911.

    Joe,

    Our current mutual aid procedure is to request temporary station coverage from the Stamford vol. departments, first. If they can not provide the unit with adequate staffing (4 FF's), we will request a unit from Greenwich or Norwalk until callback apparatus can be staffed. The only effect the merger has is we will relocate E-6 from Glenbrook, E-7 from Springdale, and notify the respective vol. departments, including Belltown, to cover their districts before relocating vol. units to SFRD headquarters.
