This amusment park is just up the street from Jewish Hospital Hand Center. They also deal with other types of amputations. They are supposed to be the one of the best. I have flew a lot of amputations there. The media is reporting they took her to University Hospital. I cant believe they didnt take her straight to Jewish Hospital. I guess they considered it a Trauma, and took her straight to the trauma center.

My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family!

Rest In Piece My Fallen Brother.

R.I.P My Fallen Brother!

One other thing. Not sure if Jim put it in the book. If a Squad company is acting as an Engine first, second, or third due, the next available Squad is assigned as the normally assigned Squad on the 10-75.

Example: Squad 270 goes in second due as an Engine to Queens Box 6057(Liberty Avenue and 117 Street). On the 10-75, Squad 288 is the normally assigned Squad.

Yes he does touch on this,

Just a question, when you say acting engine company, what are you referring to.

Does it list a 1st alarm assignment?  In other places I've seen the two listed seperately eventhough they are one in the same.

←

First Alarm - Structure - 2 Engines, 1-2 Ladders, 1 BC

I have found now in the book where it list 10-75 and show a total response

4 engines, 2 + Fast Ladders, 2 BC, & First Due Rescue & Squad if available and not previously assigned, I guess that means if not assigned on first alarm.

7-5 all hands gets above + division chief and rac if 3 or more are in service

I am shooting from the hip here. Someone jump in and touch on this...

RIP My Fallen Brothers!

Is there really a big difference between 6 & 7?

←

Not a big difference, but a lot of updated material, and some new pictures.

My one question is on transmission of a 10-75 call. All is says now that its a notification of fire, and doesn't list the responses.

Does anyone know if anything has changed on this.

The FDNY Operational Reference, 7th Edition, has now been published and is available for purchase here:

I HIGHLY reccomend this book, especially if you're into FDNY. Extremly comprehensive guide, everything you ever wanted to know about FDNY!

Received my copy on Friday! - 7th edition is great.

First, to put "DPW" in the maltese cross is disrespectful to the fire service. It's a fire service symbol.

←

I agree 100%. I think it is very disrespectful as well.

If one of our units goes to the dpw we personally stripe it of all lights, decals & radio's.

Can you imagine how much their equipment has been updated since this photo was taken. it appears to be in the early 90's. I doubt now we will ever see a pic like that of new equipment post 9-11.

Still kinda sad, I hate to see any truck end up like that. But In the name of training I guess its ok.
