The amount of supposition here is astounding. Not only does Transcare hold numerous 911 contracts with numerous hospitals throughout the city, it also does do interfacility transports (which anyone knows can be an emergency in itself) but no regulation or rule states that a person having a medical emergency has to call 911 and no regulation or rule states that Transcare has to call 911 for said emergency, no matter your definition of 'emergency'.
No, I do not know the reason for the vehicle, but I wouldn't be so pompous as to go on a 'public' forum and start assuming it was 'just go red lights and sirens'. How hard would it have been to pick up the phone, call Transcare and ask?

What difference does it make if a person has 9 bullets in a magazine or 9 magazines with 7 bullets = Cuomo is stupid!

a few added shots sent from the shop showing the front cutout of the booster tank where the CAFS manifold and speedlay plumbing will be as well as some shots of the body sheets coming together.

If this job was E main and Rt 6 in Mohegan, at about 0900 Wednesday, it was mine. I would tell you to PM me but I don't know how to deal with that. You could e-mail me. billandjane14@yahoo. I have a couple of pix.

PS My aunt is doing much better, she's awake and alert. Her color has returned and most of her vitals are good. She's still on a ventilator in the Trauma ICU, but she's definitely doing a lot better than she was yesterday.

I believe the USMA West Point has/or is planning to provide rescue helicopter services since the last issue on their base.

Don't be to hard on Captain Smart. He's just watched "Full Metal Jacket" too many times.

I agree that the situation wasn't handled right, but I wonder if there was more to this story...
What happened before the clip started? Was the photographer going beyond the fire line and warned multiple times? Someone mentioned it looked like the photographer had a dash light in his car, did he cross the line into whacker territory? Was the person in the car one of the firefighter's family members/close friends?
Not saying those excuse it, but it might explain it

Fireground Commentary: Ignore the photographersChief Wylie examines the recent incident involving a paramedic captain and a video recording bystander and why in most cases it's best to ignore the photo-taking public.

Great commentary, unfortunately some people don't think when handling these situations (on both sides).

Just when you thought you had seen everything.

Custom front and the rear table top console being installed, rear area to hold TIC camera and vehicle mounted charger, knox box, flashlights, carbon monoxide and gas monitor, portable radio bank, a 10" flip down monitor for the monitoring of the TIC camera operations, the bottom of the rear console was left open to be able to place gear bags and there will be an area at the rear for storage and also the mounting of the 3000 watt invertor. We are going to the shop next Friday for a visit so I will post some more detailed progress photos.

If you look at JetPhoto's photo it is a great example of what is missing in high school sports and soon to be collegiate.
About 2 months ago, or a bit more when it was still snowing out. One of the athletes asks, what is one way outside of the gym to get stronger? I went on to ask him about the rest and recovery he was doing, as well as the fluids and foods he was consuming. After all checked out. I then asked, are you shovelling? He said no, Ok do you rake your yard? Once again no. The remote is replacing the tool, and for younger generations to continue to get stronger, they need a little manual labor in their life. The strongest athletes I have are the ones that also rake, shovel, mow the lawn when needed.
Secondly, NSCA which is one of the most respected organizations in the strength and conditioning field, has implemetned a new strength and conditioning certification to improve conditioning for all tactical occupations, such as police, fire, ems and esu. They just had a national conference last week, and from the sound of it, it is progressing well. So, if any one in the exercise science field, who has either a phys. ed, exercise science or exercise physiology degree and a passion for emergency servies, you may want to look into this

Medics are at medic pay.

Boston Police just tweeted suspect is in custody. Multiple sources confirming as well. Suspect is alive but in need of medical.
Boston Police Dept. ‏@Boston_Police Suspect in custody. Officers sweeping the area. Stand by for further info.



Cambridge Police ‏@CambridgePolice Proposing #HeroesInBlue to thank officers who worked for days to successfully capture suspect & for those injured/killed in line of duty

Boston Police is asking that people refrain from posting specific addresses of tactical operations to protect Officer Safety. This guy is online posting threatening messages to the Boston Police, so its not unreasonable to believe he's reading up on the search either. The media is already screwing this up pretty bad but please don't further compromise Boston's operational security by posting addresses of search locations, etc.
UPDATE: Most Boston Police online feeds have been cut for OPSEC purposes.
