    In squad we trust I think you should get off the computer and go down to the fd's you want too join. You said you emailed this one and emailed that one. If you can't take some time out of your day to go down and see them in person then your not going to have time too be a member. Find out when their work detail or training nights are and talk too the members about joining. It shows that your willing to give up your time. Hint there's alot more then going too calls to being a firefighter. So your got to give up alot of your time.

    Sfrd If your really interested in being a firefigher whether paid or volly. You need to change your attitude!! Your profile says your 14-17 years old so i'm going to call you kid because that is what you are. So kid thinking you know more then most people on the job is a bad attitude and going to get you nowhere real quick. In a volly dept. you will be outcasted and not like it there and paid they will eat you up an spit you out. So start over and go in like your some kid looking at being a firefigher and stand there keeping your mouth shut and your ears open. Good luck to both of you! and remember never stop training and never stop learning.

    How about the U.S coast guard? Will they do land base operations or just water? I believe they have a base in the city at governors island. There choppers will hoist in any weather. We had hikers down the last two weekends both about a mile and half in on rough terrain. Both were minor injurys but if it was more serious I was thinking about a hoist. I like to think about it before it happens and time is not on your side. I know Chris192 said they can do it but if there not available then option two is? We have a six wheeler polaris which will go just about anywere but even that is limited by terrain. One of the two was a hand carry mile and half. Not fun!! LOL

    The aerial view is a perspective that is all too often overlooked. The technology exists today to give the IC this view without taking him/her up in the aircraft. Many law enforcement aircraft are equipped with microwave downlink equipment that will allow video from onboard cameras to be transmitted directly to the command post. An alternative is to take the IC or other ranking officer up to view the scene first-hand.

    It is possible as you suggest to simply broadcast info about the scene to the ground but much can be lost in that translation and if everyone isn't on the same page, it may not even seem like the same language.

    The FDNY sends a Batt Chief up with NYPD Aviation on every 3rd Alarm or greater to provide that aerial perspective.

    Is this perspective useful? It sure can be! Will it make a measurable difference in the suppression effort? Who knows!

    What do the Chief's on this board think? Would this perspective be useful to you?

    The aerial perspective view from onboard cameras or taking up a chief is that something a putnam dept. can call on from WCPD aviation? Also what equipment is needed for the cameras at the command post. Thanks
