Below is an  Interesting    Historical  Tidbit about the  M/A  By  Honolulu FD  to  the US  government during  the  Japanese  Attack on  Pearl

The Putnam County Bureau of Emergency Services (BOES) should purchase this vehicle from the Brewster-Southeast Fire District, and make it a regional asset. Maybe one of the county special team members could respond to the TOPS bldg and deliver it to the scene of an active emergency. S1720G is right about that idea. BOES had an idea for a county-wide foam unit, but it never happened, as far as I know. A trailer with lumber for a bldg collapse in the county would be another idea, as would a technical rescue team. Don't know if they will ever happen, as getting enough members to get trained and kept excited is hard to do (and money needed always rears its ugly head).

Thank you x635 for posting this. I will surely pass it around. 
 
And thank you to the members of the FDNY. Many members of the FDNY are still paying the price as well as their families. 
 
It was a day we will never forget. There are still people suffering from that tragic day. As one famous song writer put it, "Where were you when the world stopped turning". 
 
So much suffering day after day. Year after year as so many will never forget.

The most telling part of the story is the fact they cannot get the manpower to get their equipment out the door.
It is a simple fact that # of runs, need, usage, or any other factor will not change.

If you look closely he is operating with the bale partially open and suddenly opens it completely accidentally. This is a hard lesson in why we preach the nozzle is open or closed. To properly operate the nozzle in the fully open position the PDP would have to be lowered, basically all but removing the possibility of a  sudden increase in discharge flow and nozzle reaction. Sure we all operate nozzles partially open during mop up and other less hazards scenarios, but this shows what can happen. 

 
Sounds like a case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.

What always gets me about Greenwich is that they are one of the wealthiest communities in the entire nation. How they can not afford to properly staff an engine is beyond me.

As someone who works Sanitation, this is news to my ears.
Even in the tiny Village of Buchanan, people drive like complete a$$holes with no regard to anyone else. 
When I drive, I try my best to make it as safe as possible for the guys on the back. No matter what, it just seems people can't wait 30 seconds...

Interesting that the article says that it only applies to rear loaders.  It should cover all garbage trucks.
