You were at the house that exploded ? Was anyone hurt? I take it gasoline was used based on the size of the explosion? WHY ??

yes we are doing ok.the only thing that bad is some people that arent firefighter say how can you save a dog but not the mother and baby,but where she was upstair and when we get to the stair it flase over.so we have to live with this.cause we couldnt get to her and the baby,some of us say we would give are life if we could have save the baby.

hornell is about 45min south of rochester.we had a fire saturday /sunday night 8 people live in the house all but the mother and 6mouth baby boy get out.when the call came in the house was in engulf complely.these is the only thing i hate about this.when i get back i hold me to kids real tight.the picture of the to kids is mine to little one

Cool, will check it out and give some input. Thanks for letting me know, I enjoy others ideals. As sometimes it does get pretty dry and as well you hear. "We have already done this".

Check out the some of the Groups, I have started up "Close Calls" an area to tell your story of what you did and should not of so others learn. "Roll Calls" this is another group that allows you to tell us about your station and district. "Trainers Corner" is another area that you can read about issues other trainers have or deal with. As well if your not a trainer you can ask questions or state concerns you have. If you have a hard time locating them just go to my site and look at the bottom left hand corner.

Enjoy, be safe and remember we all come home.

NOT MUCH HERE. WOULD LIKE TO HEAR THE IDEAS ON TRAINING. LATER CAPT.

THAT IS GREAT AND THE TWO DOGS KEEP US BUSY. TAKING THE GOLDEN FOR A RUN AFTER WORK TONITE. MORE TRAINING TOMORROW NIGHT

Hi, you're welcome for the photo comments. Well we just had a live fire training in an old house in one of our neighboring towns. We had some really good fires and a few of our newer firefighters got some training and were able to watch the fire behavior. Then we burned it flat and called it a day... Our next training night we're going to set up a maze in the bays and do search and rescue's plus we're going to put in a little snag. When their in doing search and rescue we're going to take them away from the nozzle like if they lost it. And then we'll have a couple different handlines in there and they have to try to follow the right hose line out by using the couplings. Not sure if thaat would be something to do for a training and set it up however you want. We've had good feed back on this from the firefighters when we did it before. Hope this helps you!! Have a great day and thank you for the add!!
