    You will see Engine 626 in several shots near the end of the movie.
    In one shot they actually cloned the Mack so it appears to be two of them in the shot. I'm pretty impressed they could do that.
    Production Crew asked me to make a lot of noise and so I did....
    You will hear the Federal Q, Air Horns and my FS Touchmaster on Yelp while responding in.

    GBFD109, Thank you for taking the time to post updated and correct information
    here on EMTBravo!
    If the members of EMTBravo can do anything for GBFD please let us know.
  12. RWC130 liked a post in a topic by GBFD109 in Goldens Bridge Firehouse Fire (Discussion)   
    Gentlemen, I would like to start by thanking anyone who was involved with on scene operations as well as all of you who took the time to bring us refreshments and food during our definite time of need. While I was not on scene, I would like to try to clarify some of the still foggy details.
    1.) @RWC130, Engine 138 was successfully removed from the building before any damage was sustained. That goes for E-139, E-140, and T-1 as well. R-24 was badly burned and while it's not been deemed a total loss yet, it's in bad shape. We did lose 2142, a 2006 Chevrolet Suburbam 2500 as well as ex-2143, a 1998 Chevrolet Suburban 2500.
    2.) @JM15, Mack your somewhat correct. We do currently have a tanker in the final/paint stages at 4Guys and we were visiting for pre-paint inspection. Myself and 3 others attended. Truck looks phenomenal, once I'm done here I'll post a few pics.
    3.) Our tanker was full until, like GBFD111 said, an ex chief deployed the contents into the 1st arriving Porta-Pond. Standard practice is to leave the tanker full in quarters in preparation for an alarm, we're no different, our tanker stays full.
    4.) The alarm system was functioning properly and it did activate. The original call was for a commercial alarm. Anyone who has any doubts regarding this fact, pm me your cell numbered I'll be glad to send you the ipage.

    All is can say is "IT IS ABOUT TIME". Wallkill VAC has been trying for years to get rid of MLSS as their ALS and mutual aid provider. I am glad that the current administration of Wallkill VAC was able to make these steps in the right direction. MLSS showed their true colors when they played a big part in Chester VAC getting shut down. Maybe they thought that they could just walk in and do the same thing to Wallkill. I guess they were wrong!!
    Kudos to WALLKILL for doing the best they can for the people that they serve.

    Self-Help Groups for Emergency Services



    If you’re trying to stop drinking, peer support groups can be an invaluable source of guidance, assistance, and encouragement. Groups are very helpful, not only in maintaining sobriety, but also as a safe place to get support and discuss challenges.



    Connecting with others who know first-hand what you’re going through can help reduce feelings of isolation, fear, and hopelessness. Staying motivated and positive is much easier when you have others you can turn to and lean on to help you.



    We have available to us Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) meetings at various locations worldwide but... What if an addiction problem isn't the issue? Maybe you just want to discuss a call, incident or something is bothering you.......



    Perhaps the Firehouse or Ambulance Corps isn't a place you feel comfortable chatting.....



    Could a meeting like this make a MOS feel better?



    Would YOU share a story or help someone just by listening?



    This is NOT to replace the interventions by Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD) or Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) that we call upon after a death or bad incident more so just a place to go and chat with fellow Police Officers, Firefighters, EMT's, Paramedics and Dispatchers.



    FEEDBACK IS MUCH APPRECIATED
