    New Chief of Department

    It's similar to how the armed forces operate. For example the Army has a civilian, the Secretary of the Army at its head, she isn't in charge of operations (that's the job for the Chief of Staff of the Army), but is responsible for budgets, policy, civilian oversight and implementing the...

    NYC fire protection

    I think it's hard to draw direct parallels between NYC and anywhere else. The city has a very complex set of variables notably but, not limited to building stock and demographics that make it impossible to view in such simplistic terms as population. Of course as you point out a decline in...

    Big Problems at Disney FD

    My understanding of the article is that their ambulances are out of service and have been replaced by SUVs running first responder. Which certainly is an issue.

    That would be Franklin, Sussex county whilst the fire was in Franklin, Somerset county. Common error in NJ, especially with Washingtons.

    IMT Freightliner

    The IMT does a lot, and I mean a lot within the department. From funerals to the department wide covid vaccination, and everything in between. The truck doesn't get deployed but is used to carry out their citywide mission.

    We are actually eligible for pay if we assist while off duty at a job within city limits. While I've never put in for it, it is nice knowing that the department has our backs especially with insurance and liability allowing us to help to the fullest extent possible.

    No worries, I agree the removal of the blue stripes looks better.
