Approximately 30 injuries....most minor....worst injury was a possible broken leg. Ambulances responding include KBHVAC (Home team), MKVAC, Bedford Fire, WEMS, OVAC. I'm sure others as well.

I have to give my props to Cutty (sorry I don't know your name) You did a good job as IC on that train incident. Good organization and sounded very professional on the radio both tac channel and command. Keep up the good work .

Where did you guys get that command board from?

Also - does anyone know where to get one or how to make one?

Fairview FD recieved a command Board From Con Edison.

FYI... Car 2251's father made Millwood's command board which is nearly identical to the one at the train incident with the exception that it is a wood frame as opposed to aluminum. If anyone would like, I'll get the info on how he built it and pass it along. For those that were present, it was the board used by 2251 at the Kings College Fire last year.

BHFD has two command boards, one for rescue 10 and one for car 2031. I think we got them from Con-Ed but i'm not 100% sure. i know they are the same style, if not the same ones, as FDNY uses. we saw how well they worked at the Kings college fire and thats why we got them.
