Doesn't Greenville ladder 4 provide mutual aid as well?

I dont know about you guys but id like the sound, comfort, and reliability of a 5.7L HEMI V 8 monster under my hood. Not to mention the decent Fuel economy 15 MPG city, 23 MPG highway.

This is so ridiculous, why do polticians go after what a city really needs the most (protection). I have a phenominal idea instead of lay offs how about time reduction???? The Germans surely used this model called Kurzarbeit: An Alternative to Lay-Offs. Here is a great article describing what it is.

A new Fire house and Police station needs to be built within Ridge Hill, not in the surrounding area.

beautiful

Its been long overdue for a new station..is there only one station GPD uses? instead of creating one big station, why not build smaller stations dispersed around the area? Im sure it would be more cost effective..

Prior to the Ridge Hill development, what YFD companies were assigned to cover that area? What companies are currently assigned to cover the houses behind ridgehill..?

I am assuming mutual aid, to Yonkers, plans would have to change.

You say that, but then why, in 2011, are we still "discussing" it and not taking any action? Those "important names" are aware of the situation, the ones on this site, as well as the ones who are not.

Laziness im assuming is the reason why the problem hasnt been pushed yet. I mean the problem is defined, its serious enough to make a valid case. the money is alway available for situations like this, you just need crate a proper grant.

I say emtbravo is a perfect way to start with a process to get this system rolling..a big chunk of (important names) first responders are on this site..a proposal, inlcuding a grant, needs to be created with the problems outlined, signed by the masses, and sent to lawmakers up in albany for a signature.

This thread is like Déjà Vu. We've seen how many threads with the same information?

1. We identity the problem exists. Check. No secret there. I'm not sure anyone with a modicum of common sense would disagree.

2. A bunch of people offer legitimate suggestions (or sarcastic, yet pertinent jokes about it.)

3. The next day, nothing actually changes.

I think a more productive thread would focus on how do we finally bring pressure to bear on the decision makers.

You are very true..the problem needs to be resolved with public administrators first then create the plans within the EMS community then you need to figure out how everything will be paid for...grants..proposals?

They were.

The biggest problem is an almost total lack of participation in EMS planning and MCI training. I have said this many times, 99% of the providers & leaders have never participated in either.

So its the training between the various agencies that increase the effectivenes of interoperability not soo much communications. In this case its the particitipation between the agencies involved. What would be a way to increase participation? Make it a mandatroy trainingy regiment?

I feel interoperability interms of communications needs to be updated.. Effective communications is the key to successful operations

looks great, good luck!

I remember hearing something about being donated to Albania but thats just rumors.

Its just sad to see a perfectly usable engine sitting in a construction yard,of all places ,rotting away. It can be donated to a department that can put it to good use.

Captain, i agree with you on whose going to pay for, i can see government funding would be a major problem but i find it hard to believe that an advanced country like the US does not have the means to create a separate network system dedicated to first responders.

I am creating a thesis for graduate school and the topic i have chosen is the Ineffectiveness of Communications for Emergency Responders During a National Disaster. Hopefully i can gather enough input from knowledgeable sources to help create a plan to stress the importance of interoperable communications between different agencies.

Why is our nation’s communications network for emergency responders slow to progress?

Dubai civil defense...fire dept... corvette

anyone know when the results come out?

I thought this exam was unusually hard, there were a lot of trick questions. I noticed this test was quit similar to the Yonkers exam..

HARD! (H.A.M) Hard As you can guess the rest

wow phenomenal job

sweet rig..best of luck!!

Nice..its about time..the current rescue 3 has been round for a while, has been used well..cheers and best of luck

Does the State have to declare an state of emergency inorder for FEMA aid to be requested?
