Please Keep Fire in Your Life

Hi Lt!

I took an Incident Safety Officers class at our state fire academy and they were saying to no longer do the triangle cut for steel roll up doors. ^ <--- the best I could do to show the cut I have always been taught. They say to make horizontal cut?? Can you please share your thoughts??? Thank you for what you do for the fire service!

How's it going? Hope your year is starting out well. Jyst be safe okay Remember faulure to train is training for failure.

Hi Ray
保罗Nigro . .很高兴见到你在线,管理t. was not the same without you.
Keep on training!!

Fair enough Ray, I understand thanks..
Be safe.

Hey Brother I just Started Water Now!

I see you are not a member of Apparatus Specifications, don't you brothers buy and drive fire apparatus...LOL Oh and you should join our Sept 11th Health and fitness group and Helping Our Own too while you are at it!

Tell the Sea Hag Ciampo to get his rear in gear and get on here so he can join your group too!


Stay Safe Brother!

My name is Brad...and I love going to fires!

Lt,
Im pleased to announce that I got the go ahead to purchase solidbores on our 2.5 Highrise/Static Loads as well as the Preconnect 2.5.
Im just wondering what tip size would work best? As for the 1 3/4 preonnects. That i could not convince as of yet however, how do you feel about the Sabre-Jet by akron. I could be on the right track with that nozzle for our 1 3/4 until the solidbore gets the go ahead for the preconnect.


You advice would mean alot as it has helped me get the ball rolling.

Thanks Lt

Ray,
While I haven't had a chance to see the video that has cause quite a stir what is the real problem? Is it that you hit a sore point? Is it that you spoke the truth? If firefighting was a safe occupation my grandmother would have been doing it in her 90's. It's not a safe job and some join the Fire Service because they get a rush from pushing the envelope. Those are the firefighters I do not want to work with, someone is going to be a LODD. I want to work with FFs that understand the dangers and will risk everything to save a life. That is why I became a firefighter. Why my father became one and his father before him. Why my son is carrying on the family business. But, at some point you have to draw the line and say no reason to risk all if there is no life. No reason to risk all if you got the call too late to save the building. While we, as a group, may not totally agree we do agree that we need to change the way we do business. The fires that we face are fewer in number but more deadly in nature.

Ray, is your FDIC speech still available online? some guys I work with @ the Academy still haven't seen it and it seems to have fallen off the face of the earth.

Lt, thanks for the add. I appreciate all the topics you share and we learn from you all the time! If you ever find yourself down in SC - dinner is on me!
