And that is why I hate politicians! Mike

Found this at firefighterclosecalls.com Anybody want a pet? Mike

Izzy, that sounds like some of the best uses of a reel. However, my Dept. (that I explore at) has 3 engines with reels on them. Our newest engine has dual 1" reels and our tanker has 1 (it is our first due engine in our dept). Do I agree with the 1"? I can't say because I've never used it. According to my superiors, the 1" is used for small fires such as trash and vehicles. Again, I can't really say if I like it or not because I have not used it. However, I like doing engine work, INCLUDING breaking down and packing hose, so maybe I am a little biased. Mike

Ditto, "if you can't do the time, don't do the crime." I really could care less about the guys in jail. They don't have rights (or shouldn't) and tough feces if they don't like it. Mike

Agreed, a 1" inch booster hose hangine outside a cab with a man inside the cab controlling it is alot easier to go around a fire than a forestry hose being walked along the truck. (At least that's what I've heard) If it's a small fire, why not use a pump can? (AKA Indian Pumps) That's pretty easy to use. Mike

Gentlemen, is it just me or did all the oil companies seem to have formed a cartel and marked up their prices? It sure seems that way. Mike

Ok, it's 11:54 at night, why aren't we getting shut eye? As for me, I'm writing a paper on the science of fire suppression. I like to do work at night anyways. So, why are YOU up? Mike

God speed Explorer Russo. Mike

Anybody seriously want to try this idea out? I know I would! Mike

TA DA! I'll take my BoSox ANYDAY over the overly rich Yanks. Mike

Say hello to your solution : Forest Fire Tracked Unit or a dozer would work. Mike

Congrats Jim! Mike

Wow, EMTBravo really has grown! Keep up the great work Seth!!! Mike

First of all, the LEO who pulls them over will get the "This person is guilty." mindset and if he/she sees the alcohol and observes their behavior to be "Drunken," Tah-Dah! DUI/DWI charge. Secondly, any video from the dash cash show erratic driving, swerving, thrown bottles from the car, etc, by the person involved can be used as evidence. So, even without a sobriety test, you can at the very least, get a ticket. Any LEO care to elaborate more? Mike

With the brush fire season upon us, I thought I would pass on the following depicting the new and improved Smokey the Bear: Need I say more? Mike

Today marks the 1st anniversary of the massacre of 32 students and faculty and countless others wounded physically and psychologically of the Virginia Tech shooting. Mike

How about 6/ ALL OF THE ABOVE Mike

Just another fire in Boston! Mike

Agreed! Although I wish we could've cursed the new stadium. :angry: Mike

How about the concrete pumper used as a defensive attack master stream? I believe someone posted it here. I'll see what a search brings up. Found it! http://www.emtbravo.net/index.php?showtopi...Concrete+Pumper .

What about the winch or a K-12? At least then your shiny chrome bumper will be unscathed! Mike

I just got the best idea! Put all the members of EMTBravo into Congress and remove all the incumbents that go against our will. Mike

Correct me if I'm wrong, but couldn't we just use the elevators already in the building if they're (elevators) working? Mike
