  1. im pretty sure being an officer is not only knowing your capabilities but mutual aid capabilities you cant just starting calling everyone in the world because you have a fire, secondly if you do need a fast team instead of calling specific depts how about you just call for A fast team and let the CAD system work for you i understand its volunteer and the middle of the day and it gets hectic but people need to take a breathe and size up the situation, if you call for a ladder from one dept and try to get a fast team from them as well, i think thats a little much and you are depleting the resources for that town whether the manpower is there or not, and im pretty sure that the grasslands brigade does not leave the reservation that is the point of their existence.....
  2. thats why they have collapse zones

  5. I've been seeing a lot of their retired cars gutted out at the garage that sells former cop cars in north white plains on virginia road.

  7. Outside gas investigations can be very dangerous, the fact of the matter is that the majority of the utilities we use are underground, and can easily be effected by another utility. This can be seen a lot when there are water main breaks. Im sure there are a lot of people who can say that they've been on water main break calls and it turns out there was also some kind of gas leak. This is especially important, because water main breaks can cause sink holes. Furthermore, these can easily damage gas mains or electric wires underground. So the water could be electrically charged, as well. Natural gas also could leak through the ground. Natural gas is an odorless gas, however is given a chemical called Mercaptan, that can easily be be abosrbed into the ground, so be careful and dont rely on the "rotten egg" smell. With reagards to ventilating a house with natural gas, keep in mind that you should turn the valve closest to the appliance first, and cut off the electricity to the house. However, sometimes the leak may not be in the residence, but could be entering through an outside leak. Ventilating, may not be the best choice because of the UEL, however I believe that would be Con Ed's call.
  8. I'd go with horizontal ventilation first then prob go with x129k's idea with prying it off or just cutting it. For me the ariel would be one of the last things to do just because of those wires. I would put up an extension ladder and a roof ladder. Unless the C side was open to get the ariel in but other wise I would not mess with wires hanging as low as they are.
  9. Nice rig. But whats the red light for on the bottom of the pump panal for ?
  10. its great like you said they could not have picked a better person to do it to and he got his 15 minutes of fame too

  13. That's what she said, no but seriously he should be wearing a helmet life preserver and have a rope attached to him.
  14. yes i passed by their firehouse responding to the first mva with north white plains it was a FF but it did not look too bad and the FF was ok but the MVA was called in a mutual response area with Valhalla and North White Plains in front of the Kensico Dam Plaza but it actually turned out to be on Rt. 22 where the dam's overpass meets with Rt. 22
  15. all im saying is that i think the new stadium will not be able to match the original stadium the house that ruth built between the memories the championships and they way the yankees are going there not going to get off to a great start with the new stadium but who knows i hope it brings home another 26 champioships
  16. i think the new stadium is BS because tickets are going to be through the roof next season "If it aint broke don't fix it" there is nothing wrong with that stadium and personally i think its all about revenues now and the idea of enjoying a ball game is lost
