Ahame to see a loss of experience and knowldge to the new haven pd, my thoughts are with the family and friends

I have a 1000 channel Radio Shack portable 800mhz trunked radio I picked up for $175.00 only thing I dont like about it is its range since its a handheld. It even recharges the batteries internally and I would reccomend it for short ranges but not as a home scanner unless you upgrade antennas

yes I agree it was a nice save, but they shouldnt have made the turn so quickly even if the fire was 4 more blocks away there were so many people standing there they should have been cautious and ready for anything

werent there only a couple of yellow rigs as an experiment?

I agree Laguardia is a nicer airport and Definatley Jet Blue!! Im not sure if they have direct flights though, in that case american airlines is good too.

Congrats! I know this is a bit off topic but what does being verfied mean?

like to see the taxpayers of that county see that one

thats awesome I wounder how long that took

does nrfd have the step in harnesses like fdny?

yea its a crane i heard to unload things on top of the truck. Also to stabalize things in emergencies or for usar operations

wow thats scary seems like it happening more and more these days

anyone know when the New Pierce FDNY Rescue 1 will be going into service?

thats a great visual for the public to know what its like to attack fire in a high rise and posibbly make getting more manpower eaiser from a financial point of view.

its still 85 here in florida

I like it less scrolling to get to the good stuff! good job

I dont know how he isnt laughing while hes saying it funnyyyy

I thought the tanks were connected in some way because ive heard drivers say that the break got soft after being on the horn

How is the New Rescue working out for Mt. Vernon? I know it is a lot bigger then the old one so they though size might be and issue in front of a fire scene

I agree with the above it all depends on what fits your needs. A truck needs to perform truck tasks suck as searches, forced entry, or venalation. I think that having a pump and having to act as an engine my somethine impede on what their functions are. But again it depends on your department and needs.

mirrors kill it, im not a fan of the quantum either. saber is good looking though

from what I heard there is more to it then that. some sort of fluid leak, possibly hydralic fluid, not positive though. Ladder 2 was recently fixed but during testing was sent back after finding cracks in the ladder, mt vernon just cant catch a break; the new rescue is in service I believe though.

I didnt realize there was this many mt vernon guys in the emtbravo post's. Im Scott Ketcham; Lt Harold Ketcham's son from florida, the kid always riding out up there during the summer It's cool to see the pics and vids from mt vernon seeing i only get up there about 3 times a year. Just talked to my dad and he told me about the video so I figured I would check it out, looks great. Keep up the good work guys and be safe, I heard you guys are working with only one ladder.
