Our wildfire season is just starting. I hope we get nothing at all - but that won't happen. There will be fires.
A tree fire started in the black? Common enough. How far into the black? Was it at risk of spreading the burnt area? If not, let it b...
Exactly what it all comes down to Mark, we do what is best and safest depending on the situation!
Depends on the situation, In the city we have an 01 or 02 Freightliner holds either 4 or 6 personnel, 500 gallons i don't know the gpm, and i don't know the cost. If it is out in the county, we have an 02 or 03 Pierce holds 6 personnel and 1500 ga...
Attack stance here in New Zealand (hey Tony P & Ruthie) depends very much on the terrain. In the South Island they do have some very large, wind-driven grass fires, and you definitely want to be in the black if at all possible. Where I am in the u...
we had a 20 acre woods fire started from a tree a farmer had cut down and burned..we arrived on scene toned NC forest service out.and toned our department's wildfire division out
Chris here in Caldwell and for Burleson County it is pretty much word of mouth, they come by the fire station usually when we have a meeting, get an application and the board will review and the department will vote. We also have lost many members...
As we all know, the method of attack in any job depends on the situation faced. For us in the south-east of Aus (g'day from Vic. Ruthie) the favourite method of grassfire attack is from the moving vehicle; from the black if the fire is wind driven...
We generally attack from the green here in the Great Basin fuel type (sagebrush). Of course it all depends on condtions at the time of attack. We stay to where we can quickly jump/drive into the black, as we don't allow FF's to squirt from the cab...
The rivers running through our area sometimes make it difficult to attack from the black. In that case we will flank on the side with the least amount of fuel and wind.
Generally we (Florida Division of Forestry) attack our wildfires from the green (unburnt side) We are also using tractor plows to make fuel breaks and access lanes for the fire, and try to pick lighter fuel areas to plow through, depending on cond...
I agree totally, I'm not saying he should be crucified, but I wouldn't want to have to have that guy back me up at a fire, if he can't even take care of two dogs, how can he take care of a fellow fire fighter.
Doesn't bother me one bit. My fire Chief belongs to the City of Caldwell Fire and Rescue, and Cade Lake Vol. Fire department. A small community about three to five minutes away from Caldwell. He responds to the one that goes out first, if Cade Lak...
I have a minitor II with stored voice, (that i bought off ebay), and no radio yet, my department is working on switching everyone to minitor IV's and V's we will have to any way when we get our low band license, the II's and III's aren't going to ...
Yes we use the same rule as you. But some times things change so we have to change.Depends on what it is where it is where its going and so on .
In Burleson County we have cages behind the cab of our brush truck, some departments have what we call suicide seats, seats on the bumper of the truck, you eat the most smoke and get scratched up the easiest.

Welcome to this big family where no matter what race, creed, age, social status, language, to save lives, so many of us as we are most fortunate to have this wonderful gift of being able to save lives, I am a paramedic Mexican, I have more 25 years dedicated to saving lives, and never do it by interest, not because I'm so Alagoas, by making love to my colleagues, I hope not to give anything to change what I do, if I may give thanks I accept with pleasure, and if I can not help the fact that it is more motivating
helped me feel satisfied.
I prepared a lot through all these years to be a true professional in the medical emergency, and now I enjoy sharing my knowledge to those just starting in this beautiful profession.
never otherwise have friends all over the world who speak this language to save lives, that there are good people who always cares about helping those who are in misery.
more important what has happened to me in this site and may God bless those who had the wonderful ingenious of this site is to meet people with the same purpose as myself, to share information, see the next generation to start saving lives.
never cease to strive to be better in the environment will continue to prepare for emergencies and will continue to meet people like you to exchange information, and meet wonderful people like you, you are now an important part in my friends list, that if you like to add as a friend, but above all you go ahead on this as a professional in emergencies.
I do not have friends looking for them, or add you on my list for being a woman, I look for people who really are interested in wanting to share with me a bit of friendship no matter the language we have, religion, race or nationality, it important is friendship.
God enlighten you in everything you do and where you are in emergency services will look after and protect always the best wishes for your friend now Mexico.
Greetings from Mexico.
you’re new friend Filiberto.
excuse my bad English but I do it gladly
