Rob, is that KR from Woburn, MA FD in the video?

Surely you jest!

I work just outside of Boston. We (FD) have been using Nasal Narcan for 4 years at the BLS level for Opioid overdoses. Works wonders.

JMHO, but this is what happens when you practice "feel good" policing. You can give the guys hats and bats and armor them up like ninja turtles, but to clear a unruly crowd you have to give them the green light to do it correctly. And yes, this may mean people get hurt. And the city fathers and police command staff will not do the right thing. Happens everywhere.

Love the halligans driven into the ground to provide footing for the shoring!!

Can't find it?

Ouch

In looking at aerial photos, there seems to be a red tractor trailer parked in what appears to be the Ops/Maintenance area on the north side of the airport. Could this be a water supply tanker?

My dept. just outside Boston has been "browning out" 1 company every tour since early this year. It will continue for the forseeable future, even after we gave concessions to prevent layoffs. We ran 5 engines and 2 trucks prior to the brownouts. This affects not only that safety of the citizens in the browned out area, but also the safety and well being of the firefighters.

A little bit out of the area, but in the Metro Boston area, the following run TDA's:

Revere 1 2004 Pierce and 1 2009 Pierce

Melrose 1 2007 Seagrave

Somerville 1 2007 Seagrave

Waltham 1 2008 Seagrave

NYC water means NYPD is in charge until it is clear that it is not a terrorism related event(That'll be determined once the media clears out) at that point command is handed over to FDNY until all life hazards are mitigated, and then in this case probably the coast guard for recovery.

Actually, NYC CIMS says Water/Ice Rescue is a NYPD Single Command incident, however, Aviation Incidents are Unified Command with FDNY/NYPD as primary agencies. And, it happened on the (water) border of NY and NJ, to add to the confusion.

If you look at google earth or live view, it looks like the FH is surrounded by boneyards or truck repair places. This could be why you see the old pieces.

After 38 years with ConEd, and the last 18 with Gas Operations, it's time to hang up my wrenches!

After (IF) we sell the ranch, we're moving to Cape Cod.

I guess I'll have to become a Sox fan, and join EMTBravo NewEngland!

Here's what I'll be doing much of the time

Jack, now's the time to buy on the Cape. Too much invetory, not enough buyers.

Long live the new "Curse of the Buried (then dug up) Red Sox jersey!!!

I think removing it puts a double curse on the Yankees. Like digging up an ancient Indian burial ground, maybe??

Trained on it at the Academy, confidence building evolution. Haven't seen one since.

Congrats to the Giants on winning. They outplayed the Pats and deserved the win. Boy, it hurts, though...

I believe the NYPD Bomb Squad is part of the Forensic Investigation Division and it's offices are located in the 6th Precinct in Greenwich Village. ESU supports them with suspicious or confirmed devices.

P-A-T-S, Pats, Pats, Pats! Eli is a pale imitation of Peyton. Patriots by 2 TD's. And yes, I am from Massachusetts.

Looks good, Seth!

Care to repeat that?

Oh, and by "preparing for their next victim" do you mean breaking out the video cameras?

Hey, whatever it takes...

As Tampa Bay is beating the Giants, the Patriots will be hard at work preparing for their next victim.

Seth, great site and and a daily must read for me. Thanks for starting this and running with it. Good luck in all your endeavors, personal AND professional!

just for that, you will lose

Ha! Go Tampa!!!

P-A-T-S Pats, Pats Pats!!!! The Jets fans HATE that we stole that chant... Knock on wood, but I feel good about 16-0.
