That's certainly correct however if you listen to the video she did more than identify herself and say she was armed. She actually asked me forget the incident. I think it ultimately came down to resign or get fired and she took the easy way out!

She certainly should be suspended! She flashed her badge to try to get out of her husband and her getting a ticket for driving at non licensed vehicle (golf cart) on a street where licensing was Req! That's abuse of position plain and simple.

More than likely they with either a vehicle in front of the rig or they needed that placement to reach where they were trying to get to! They certainly didn't spot there just as I can put their outrigger down on the auto.

Also, they use to use Purple K, not sure if they still do or not.

Actually, isn't this much like FDNY, the medics on the ambulances are not FF certified. This is what these departments appear to be doing. The only difference is they Req the EMT/Medics to become FF certified where is FDNY doesn't as long as they stay attached to the ambulances.

I grew up in the southern suburb of Rochester and back then RFD had 21 engine companies and 11 trucking companies. So they have had significant reductions over the years. For anything 2nd alarm or larger they depend on the suburban department to provide fill-ins and in many cases additional...

That seems like a giant step backwards!

Well, it doesn't need SCBA because it's not going to fight fires. It's just a feel-good rig to show off! Also, I don't know about everybody else but it looks more like a bus than it does a fire truck!

I actually think the length of time Req to complete the rescue was quite remarkable considering the situation. Specific equipment had to be obtained and arrive at the scene along with the people with the proper training just to ensure it was safe to begin the rescue. After that the plane had to...

Another move away from hiring the most qualified candidates! The voters of New York City should be up in arms about this.

It's just how different departments operate. I'm sure the California boys think that FDNY is nuts for having 3 different types of aerials.

Does anyone know how much equipment and manpower the Delhi department has?

Obviously they are more difficult than a standard window but they are nowhere near as difficult as window bars. They are basically laminated glass like you find in automotive windshields. A hard blow with a pick head axe will break the window and then you can remove the fragments. Depending...

Yes, that mandate is certainly in place today, but the way things are changing in the world today that mandate could easily go away in the future!

Yes, I certainly agree working in a small town for fire or EMS you always go little faster and work that much harder when you recognize the address or the name of where you are responding!

Congratulations to them for thinking outside the box and saving the puppy! I would go into my political rant about saving people multiple times with Narcan but I won't.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, with the shortage of flight crews these days I'm sure the airlines would push for it in order to get more flights in the air!
