I'd even buy my own Bourkes and front piece. :-)"

Ben Waller replied to Adam Box's discussion Cairns New Yorker Bourkes"There are NFPA-compliant Bourkes. I have a pair on my N5A.
Morning Pride claims to be the only manufacturer of NFPA-compliant Bourkes, but other vendors will probably have some soon if they don't already make them."
Joel Fraser replied to Adam Box's discussion Cairns New Yorker Bourkes"First, let me start by giving you a bit of my background... I worked for an MSA distributor for over 10 years, and currently work as the protective equipment specialist in my department as a full time job for the past 4 years.

Jason "Fish" replied to Adam Box's discussion Cairns New Yorker Bourkes"You might be able to find a authorized dealer and have them put the bourkes on and keep the warranty."
Shareef Abdu Nur replied to Adam Box's discussion Cairns New Yorker Bourkes"First of all, I have to tell you that the flip down bourkes does not make your helmet NFPA or OSHA compliant unless they specifically have the compliant sticker on them.

Is it just me?

Is it just me or do some people not take this job seriously enough?
I am by no means an old hand at this job, but it seems that lately incoming firefighters don't quite seem to realize that our profession is, in fact, a dangerous one.

But I feel that some people join without taking into account the risks… Continue

New Blog

So I've started a new blog on a different site. This isn't a "please read my blog" attempt, but if anyone is terribly interested in the goings on of my life, they can read it there. It's called "Hydraulic Ventilation" and has nothing to do with firefighting. If anything terribly important happens regarding firefighting, rest assured, I will probably post it here.

So I am starting a blog out of sheer boredom (which I will explain later.)
On the fire side of things, It was pretty quiet except for monday.
We were toned out for a possible structure fire at a car dealership. When I heard the dispatcher sign on and blow out all those numbers ("Dispatching Engine 402, 404, 405, Rescue 406, Truck 422") I knew it was going to be something "good" but when he said it was a car dealership I thought to myself "oh...s***." Frankly I am not a fan… Continue
