Incident still ongoing 9 AM Wednesday: Wednesday a.m. update my wife actually have some friends who were evacuated.

Probably okay when the salt spreader is full but when it gets empty it's definitely too light!

and they already went and got it dirty!;)

Certainly a dangerous situation, hopefully it will be resolved without an explosion or any injuries.

I saw that video on YouTube and was going to paste it here but forgot. Actually looks like it's doing a pretty good job! I think I read it within Sweden but I'm not sure

Westlake chemical explosion Lake Charles Louisiana

Seeing the complete list of cars including the fire commissioners cards and staff and having grown up in an area where they didn't have fire commissioners I have a question. Why do many large cities have fire commissioners in addition to the officers of the fire department? It seems like they...

Are they planning on using a ferry or have they built a new bridge?

Multiple departments from Monroe County (Rochester) New York are working a large apartment complex fire in the suburb of Perinton. Temperatures were in the upper teens-low 20s. Crews battle large fire at Pines of Perinton

Glad to see that, it really looks ugly! I hadn't thought about the NYPD shooting.

Great video although I'm not sure I like the blue stripes instead of the white ones! Why you can see the new lights in the grill they kind of get lost, I'm not really sure how much you do.

The amount of equipment responding per alarm is certainly significantly less than it is for FDNY! How many units do they actually have?

That sounds strange, I didn't realize that the boats were utilized that much. It seems like in a case like this they could be relieved from whatever they were doing to respond since I'm sure the large volume of water that the 2 big boats could provide would be very helpful. Now 11 alarms!

I'm not so sure if in this case the additional manpower initially would've helped that much since the majority of the injuries, deaths were the result of smoke. The extra manpower would've been nice on the initial response but I'm not sure it would've been a much use.

RIP

While I certainly feel sorry for her in some respects shelter have to face reality like the rest of us do. Medical coverage is extremely expensive for everyone and our costs keep rising every year. It still sounds like they are getting a great deal compared to most of us.

Those were very heavy to carry around on your back but were very useful many times for small grass/brush fires. Carried one around many times.

I would think for a complex of that size they would have a lot more equipment than that.

Interesting looking truck and by appearances it matches the FDNY rescues, I wonder if it matches all other aspects that the contract requires?

Based on your descriptions of the facility I'm sure they have a pretty large in-house fire brigade. Do you have any idea what they have in house?
