Lets trim a little from their budget to protect our President.

this is a non story - perhaps we should make an amendment that you only can run for President if you are poor.  That way they will be so impressed with White House - have no vacation homes and just stay in the White House for 4 years (maybe 8).  Its life, its the law - I know a ton ton more waste everyday in the federal Gov't going on every single day.    

If you are not being sarcastic, the drone  goes to second alarms and above-is carried/operated by the Command Tactical Unit.

I wonder what effect the wildfire season has. If a FF deploys on a wildfire assignment for a week, are they paid every hour they are on that assignment? I'd assume they would be, since when they're back at basecamp they aren't really free to leave. That might cause someone to rack up a lot of OT hours.

Legacy is the strength of the Fire Service

I'm sorry but if you can not staff a ladder with at least a driver and tillerman, then maybe you should not burden your community with the cost of a fully equipped ladder ($1- $1.5 M). Your ladder needs at least enough staffing to do truck work 

 
Assuming that another rig with more staffing was on its way, a rig with two is still better than none.  Establishing continuous water supply, throwing ladders to a known point of entrapment, extended walk around and size-up to the remaining incoming units, among many other activities can be completed by a crew of two and if nothing else, they're geared up and immediately fill out the "two in two out" requirement when the next arriving apparatus marks up.

Your signature is so appropriate for this post...

Very few new Seagrave purchases, with the exception of some VERY well funded volunteer organizations.
 
Lately, DCFD is getting Pierce Wagons and Rescue Squads. New Trucks are Spartans.
 
Still quite a few spare wagons and active duty trucks that are Seagraves.  HAZMAT 1 is also a Seagrave if I am not mistaken.
 
All new PGFD county apparatus are Pierce, Fairfax County VA as well.

Most of the DC area as well.

Almost any recent KME customer could have ran the exact same story. 
 
Spot on exactly the type of experience that one faces when purchasing from KME.
 
 
 
 

I believe Orange, CT had an 80's Mack Telesquirt. Not sure if it is still around though.

I am not familiar with how EMS works in NY, but is it possible that AMR is hiring EMS providers to provide transfer service between facilities?
 
That might explain why they all the sudden need to hire people without having obtained government contracts for any 911 services.

It doesn't take long to have it look that nice.  When I was Captain in Millwood our beds looked like that and for all I know they still do.  The key is to leave about 2 feet open at the front of the hose bed as a coffin for the couplings to lay in.  Each time you come to a coupling while packing the hose, you pull it all the way forward to the coffin at the front.  This creates a twofold benefit.  The folds at the back of the hose bed are nice and neat (especially if you use a rubber mallet to set the fold each time, but who's doing that at 3am on the side of the road?) but also, the hose lays out better when you're in a hurry.  No couplings to grab each other on the hosebed.
 
I'm not saying my way is the right way, but it worked for us and kept things looking tidy.

You're not screwing the city, in the end you're screwing the taxpayers.
