Staff Sgt. Todd J. "T.J." Lobraico Jr. 105th Airlift Wing of the New York ANG
Killed last week while fighting the war on terror was brought home today. He arrived at Stewart Air Base where a ceremony was held and then he was escorted to New Fairfield Ct where he will be laid to rest. Along his trip from the airport down Rt 17K to Route 300 to I-84 he was proudly honored by many Fire, Police, & EMS agencies along the way.
I stood with my department and with the following fire departments that were at the Toll Plaza, Beacon, Beekman, Castle Point, Chelsea, Dover, Dutchess Junction, Fishkill, Glenham, Hughsonville, New Hamburg, Roosevelt, Beacon Vol. Amb. town of Fishkill police, village of Wappinger Falls PD, NYSP.
It was an honor to do so and it was nice to hear of the other departments that did the same.

12 years later gone but will never be forgotten. We still got your back
We remember the 343 Firefighters in NYC that died that day but we should not forget all the Police officers, EMT's and victims on the planes, in the Towers or the Pentagon and especially those who are suffering from or passed away from cancer because they dug the rubble at the site.
Or the K-9's that helped that got sick

Even now it's still painful to look back at that horrible day. But we do need to remember and to never forget.

What defines a working fire?
When members of the department show up who you haven't seen in months for training, meetings, etc. and they are the first ones on the rigs and there throwing didicated members off. That's when you know it a working fire.

Right on! There is no such thing as a "working car fire." At most it's a fully involved car fire. Two or three cars really ripping in a shopping center parking lot? Working fire. Now let's put that fully involved car fire in an underground garage of a 6-story multiple dwelling. You might need a second alarm to evacuate the building because a fire door didn't close. Then, it might take you the rest of your shift just to find the car that's on fire out of a hundred cars. Your TIC helps, but it still takes you a while.
Firefighting is more an art than a science.

In my opinion, to echo what everybody else has said, a Working Structure Fire should be classified as a room and contents fire or greater, where at least 1 1 3/4" line was charged and used.

The opposite of an unemployed one?
