Very graphic reminder of this school fire in 1958, this was a wake up call for school safety

Just some additional information:I believe that, even in emergency mode, it takes Fairview's truck, with an officer and 3 firefighters, at least 1/2 hour to get to Mount Vernon and get set up to operate.
It took approx 25 minutes to respond non emergency. Sprain Pkwy to BRP

Take a look on Tarrytown Road the disney world building they call a Library, cost overruns have put the Towns budget in a uproar. What a waste of money for such an outlandish style of design. Sleep tight the Library will be watching over you and we will have less police for the sake of a small percentage of book huggers.

My original post of the picture was not to put a name to the face, it was to point out that this was unsafe . There were a few more pictures on Firehouse showing the same. The pictures have been removed from the web site. I am amazed that Firehouse did not edit the slide show before posting.
But now lets not kill a dead horse.

Nice picture what is wrong with this?Photo now deleted from Firehouse.com

I don't give a crap who he is or where he works. SBVFD524 nailed it. The vast majority of k-12 saws are used in the construction industry along with several other types of abrasive wheel saws. Go to any commercial construction site and guys will be cutting hundreds to thousands of pieces of steel framing studs, channel, etc all while wearing nothing more than leather boots, jeans, t-shirt, and maybe eye protection. Its SAFE. RELAX. Worried about the blade detonating take a look before you start. If there is an obvious (can see daylight) crack then the blade is no good. Those things get bounced around dropped and generally abused and I've never seen a blade catastrophically fail. Heard about it and everything was contained by the guard.What's next, garbage men ride back steps all the time its safe so should we do it? Missing the point.

The guy doing the training is Captain of Manhattan's Rescue 1. There is probably few, if anyone, here that has the level of training or the incredible amount of experience he has. So in my opinion unless anyone criticizing is one of those few people, then don't worry about it. Perhaps go read one of his articles in Fire Engineering or Firehouse, it would certainly be more productive since you can learn something from almost everything he says, I know I have.WOW! Next time pull pin before you throw grenade.

I don't know where to start. Why do you say 'training'? It looks as though it was taken in an office building, so presumably they're on a job. In which case Mr. Red Shirt is presumably a civilian; I find it hard to believe he's a firefighter. So why the **** is he being allowed to grab the saw? Then we can discuss WHERE he is grabbing the saw, and lack of appropriate PPE, and ...Mike
Firehouse Expo hands on training.

This is a truly one of a kind. 1939 Ahrens Fox BJQ. Fairview FD Quad 1. Saw service 1939- 1972? Sold to private collector who let it fall into disrepair. Now owned by another collector who started to restore but this has been sitting for 10 plus years.

Where is the hose line? There is one sitting on the lawn, maybe they wanted to give their helmets the 20,000 alarm look. :angry:
