Don not like the Veridian gear, it is cheap and doesn't last. We will be looking at Globe/Cairns next time around.

Our department is in the process of obtaining a Polaris Ranger. We're not sure yet if it will be a 4x4 or a 6x6, it will depend on which of them are in better shape. We would like to see some setups…Continue

Just thought I'd share a few pictures of our new engine. It is an E-ONE Tradition Pumper on an International 4400 Chassis. It has a 1250 pump and a 1280 gallon tank with a 10" quick dump. It doesn't…Continue

Just wanted to introduce myself here. I've been on a couple other forums that are getting pretty stale and heard this is a great place to be! I've been a Fire Fighter for 8 years (since I was 18) on…Continue

Josh Chambers replied to Brent Lytle's discussion Another Unusual Question. What Do The More Rural Firefighters Use For Trucks To Carry Gear To The Scene?"We keep our gear at the station and don it before getting on the truck. We do not allow POV response without the Chief's approval (there are two guys on our Dept. that live way out in the District, they are allowed to keep their gear with them…"
Josh Chambers replied to Brandon Cook's discussion Whos a second or third generation firefighter?"3rd Generation here. My Grandfather served 35 years and was the Chief for some of that time, my Dad has been on for 26 years and is our current Chief, I've been on for just over nine years and will hopefully someday end up in the position that…"
Josh Chambers replied to Matt Lacey's discussion Traditional vs metro"We wear metro because that's what we're issued due to cost and nobody wants to buy their own. The Metro style works pretty good for us though because they are what we wear for everything. I know some of the guys on the departments around…"
Josh Chambers replied to Mike Schlags (Captain Busy) Retd's discussion Where and How Do You Store Your Blower, Extinguishers & K-12?"This picture is before we had any equipment on our new engine, it is looking into the rear compartment from the drivers side. We have a 20lb. dry chem and a 2 1/2 water extinguisher mounted up against the front wall of the compartment. Our vent saw…"
Josh Chambers replied to Bryce Doeschot's discussion Burning without a permit/out of control permits"We don't issue any permits and people can burn pretty much whatever they like around here. The only time that changes is when the State Fire Marshall's Office issues county wide burn bans. When there is a burn ban on we get called for any…"
Josh Chambers replied to Brandon Cook's discussion just wanting to know"9 years for me with many, many more to come. Marble Rock Fire Department in Floyd County, Iowa."
Josh Chambers replied to Josh Chambers's discussion Our New Engine"I sure hope we don't see those kind of problems. We haven't had any so far, hopefully it stays like that.

Kyle replied to Josh Chambers's discussion Our New Engine"Sorry for the late reply...We have had every problem you can think of. Our '09 tower ladder has been in the shop more than in the station."
Josh Chambers replied to Derek J Sinesi's discussion How Do you respond?"Exactly the same here. We investigate every alarm no matter what."
Josh Chambers replied to Derek J Sinesi's discussion How Do you respond?"Yes, for most of the same reasons I stated in my other post. If the first due gets on scene and decides nothing further is needed or it is non emergent then the response will be downgraded. I think I understand where you're going with this and…"
Josh Chambers replied to Derek J Sinesi's discussion How Do you respond?"Lights and sirens for us on this one. We respond lights and sirens to any confirmed fire, whatever it may be.
I agree with Don in that I don't believe you could ever rule out an exposure on a vehicle fire that is in the driveway of a…"
Josh Chambers replied to Shannon M. Earle's discussion Need Help with Report recording and reports"Our department uses a web based program that is offered to us by our State Fire Marshall's office. It is free to use and very user friendly.
The OIC fills out a "Call Log" when we return from an incident. I then take that and use it…"
