RWC130

TOMORROW!!!!

When Trooper Morgan is working I just stay home! LOL!

THIS WEDNESDAY!!!

ONE WEEK AWAY..... BE THERE!!!

5520 will be out of service for a while. I am impressed to see that all of the equipment in the compartments stayed IN the compartments and not ALL over the street like most crashes with emergency vehicles. Maybe keeping compartments locked is not such a bad idea? I hope none of the NYPD ESU Members were injured. BE SAFE!

WOW... Glad I worked Sales and not Service for one of the above mentioned Motorola Two Way Radio Dealers. haha Anyone can sell radios. Even ME! As mentioned the issues are Service & Repair Department and sometimes Management of said company. IMAGE is Everything! ANY Radio Dealer....Motorola, Kenwood, ICOM, Etc should always try and do the right thing for the customer. OUTBACK... No Rules, Just Right!

Add Photos (HERE) haha

God Bless - RIP!

Very sad day for the NJ Communities and the Paramedics. I hope Advanced Life Support is restored. How did "the system" fall apart?

EAT LOTS OF TURKEY!!! Happy Thanksgiving

I'd have to also go with BOTH!

I mean this in NO disrespect to ANY Firefighter Career or Volunteer You can call a Gas Attendant a Gas Attendant or a Petroleum Transfer Engineer. He still pumps gas, Right? -MPO -Chauffeur -Driver -Operator You drive the Fire Apparatus = Driver Yes, Chauffeur sounds nice and so does MPO. Titles, Titles, Titles! GET-R-DONE!

"Never Before Have So Few Done So Much With So Little For So Long" I'd still love to hear an answer..... HOW DO YOU HANDLE VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER OR VOLUNTEER EMT BURNOUT? This is something that ALL officers should be aware of and take some actions to prevent it. "Turn in the Pager and Gear" should be a LAST resort! Does ANY department take steps to prevent this?

I use a WATER CAN!

I third this!

Let's all be honest here.... As much as we hate to admit it EVERY Volunteer Fire Department and EVERY Volunteer Ambulance Corps has manpower issues. I have spent several years as a Volunteer Firefighter and Volunteer EMT. I also spent some time as a Paid EMT. I have seen a lot of good people in Volunteer Fire and Volunteer EMS come and go with NOTHING done to keep them. Just bash them! FF/EMT "John Doe" never comes around anymore. Get rid of him. HMMMMM Did you ever stop to think and wonder WHY? What does your agency do to handle BURNOUT? Do you say "Turn In The Gear" and drop them? Do you say "Give Us The Pager" and write them off? Fire and EMS agencies should not only focus on bringing in New Members but MEMBER RETENTION. Any Thoughts?

AWESOME VIDEO! I also enjoyed watching a few of the MTA Metro North videos.

I like the Dickies Jackets and the FD Job Shirts.

Some say "A" and some say "Alpha" Some say "B" and some say "Bravo" I am sure 60-Control will know who you are. (I hope) LOL

Date: 11/17/06 Time: 0910 HRS Location: Bear Mountain Bridge Frequency: 154.890 NYS Park Police, 155.535 NYSP Troop F, 155.505 NYSP Troop K, Various Other Fire & EMS Units Operating: NYS Park Police, NYSP Troop F, NYSP Troop K, Town of Highlands PD, Town of Highlands EMS, Rockland County Fire Dept. 18 & 26 Marine Units w/ Divers, Continental Village Fire Marine, Peekskill EMS, Cortland Paramedic Description Of Incident: Jumper on the Bear Mountain Bridge Writer: RWC130 UPDATE: 1003 HRS Jumper In Custody and off the Bridge and being transported by State Police to Westchester Medical Center.

Speechless.............

Westchester County Department of Emergency Services "60-Control" assigns unit ID numbers such as: FIRE Engine XX Ladder XX Tower Ladder XX Rescue XX Tanker XX Patrol XX Utility XX Marine XX Car XX Chief and Officer unit ID's are the first 3 numbers of the Fire Department. Example: Peekskill FD is Dept 234 so the Chief is 2341 and so on. YOU MUST USE COUNTY ISSUED NUMBERS WHEN ON COUNTY FREQUENCIES. EMS BLS Ambulance XX-B1 "B" Basic Life Support ALS Ambulance XX-A1 "A" Advanced Life Support ALS Fly Car XX-M1 "M" Medic Fly Car / Advanced Life Support Chief and Officer unit ID's are the first 2 numbers of the Ambulance Agency Example: Peekskill VAC is Agency 75 so the Chief or Capt is 7511 and so on. AGAIN, YOU MUST USE COUNTY ISSUED NUMBERS WHEN ON COUNTY FREQUENCIES. If a Fire Department would like a specific number like i.e. Engine XX and it's available DES will be more than happy to assign it to you. NOTE: White Plains FD recently switched back to using the 60-Control issued radio ID numbers. Good move! I would guess that you can call a unit whatever you want when you are on your own agency channel however it's smart to stick with one number and that being the county issued ID number to avoid any confusion. Engine 17 on this channel and Engine 599 on that channel. Westchester County DES has come a long way with assigning ID numbers. I can remember back to when..... Ahhhh nevermind. LOL! Oh, one last thing.... YOU MUST USE COUNTY ISSUED NUMBERS WHEN ON COUNTY FREQUENCIES.
