  1. I have been to a few car accidents where the driver of the vehicle has been drunk and the local police department has called in the fire department for the use of their thermal imaging camera. Both times the drivers of the vehicles were caught hiding in the woods.
  2. In my opinion quints give smaller departments a false sense of security. I see too many departments purchaseing these apparatus thinking they are getting two pieces of apparatus that they only have to staff with one crew. The problem with this though is that if the crew on the quint commits themselves to doing an interior attack entering on the "A" side of the structure and the aerial device is needed at the "D" side of the structure for a rescue the aerial is useless unless you back the interior crew out and breakdown the handline and then move the apparatus.
  3. So yonkers runs there own academy but it is held at the same place as the westchester academy?
