I really dont understand this... Our town pays for our water usage at the station. As far as hydrant usage goes. How do they meter the amount of water that is discharged from them on a call. If you are using a direct connection from a well source ...
we have two 10,000 gal storage tanks next to our firestation that is hooked into our water line. we try to use this all of the time when we need to fill the trucks during or after a call. we even use it during a call to fill our tanker witch holds...
If you can't get any headway with your board or alderman, see if their homeowner insurance would reimburse for water use. If you don't have an ISO, you should be eligible for reimbursement from the insurance. Typically it's around 100 clams (down ...
Ben I absolutely agree with you. We are all in this for one reason and that is the citizens and their property we protect. There are those out there (yes even my own dept) who moan and complain because the chief was able to knock down fire with an...

- About Me:
- I'm a dick of all trades, master of nothing. I've been a paid firefighter for just over a year, a volunteer firefighter since 1998. I work part-time for an area ambulance service, I'm a Deputy Town Marshal, and I work part-time as a 911 Dispatcher. If it has to do with Public Safety, I'm somehow involved in it. I guess that would make me a glutten for punishment.

- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- Though "Old School" works great at times, don't forget that there are new tools and methods that may improve your tactical positions. Having been in the paid service for a while now, I've noticed that it takes walking a very delicate line between "Old School" and "New School" to make things work.
Just don't forget to be open minded.
- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- Its funny. I'm not sure its a love as much as its a MUST.. Its like breathing..
Funniest damn commercial EVER!
