A Telesquirt is nothing more than an engine that has a elevated water way. Not to mention they carry pumps, so....... they are very confused on what they truly are.
The main reason Rescue Me was brought about was to promote the Leary Foundation. They give money to Fire Departments around the Country for whatever equipment is needed.
An Engine company on the way to to see Lt. McCarthy at the funeral home came across a car accident in West Seneca, just outside Buffalo,NY. As the Engine started to work on 1 pt, a trauma code, the boss of the Engine called to have West Seneca Fir...

Connie said… - Hi Jason
No I havent been assigned to a truck.. As a volunteer department we just jump on any truck that is leaving, and as for me I live out farther than most so I just grab up my gear and go in my truck. As far as a volunteer we have about 28 people on and most of us work at other jobs mostly days so there again as many of them get there if they can. Thank God we dont have that many fires and most of them are at night.
