    Another home run. I swear FDNY has some of the biggest characters the job has ever seen. Larger than life.

    I always have to catch up watching these episodes and I think they get better every week! I am a retired captain from the south but can imagine and picture every story as though I was standing seeing the scenarios discussed!!! Love it!

    Born in NYC never took the FDNY test or civil service exam. In my lifetime I put ten years as a sergeant in a volly Dept and as a paid EMT. I was tough at 18 but don't think I was tough enough for FDNY.

    If anybody should write a Book. Or have one written about them,It's this guy right here. Kevin and the Loo are the best interviewers that the Fire Service ever saw.

    Dom Carino had lots of different plans for certain boxes,330 Hinsdale comes to mind,it was a borderline box with E231 and we drilled and drilled on it, sometimes late into the night, over the top no question, but what an inspiration, and I learned so much, when I became an mpo I remembered how he always sed to think outside the box.I hope he is doing well.

  • @aportman58

    Definitely agree with having the rescue medic assigned, but as long as the training and policy written is clearly spelled out! It must be very well operationally balanced!

    Mike Alder who retired from San Bernardino would be a great west coaster to have on.

    He becomes Chief of Rescue Operations on 22 Sept 2009 - (Department Order No. 79 from 2009) / as an Acting DC (@1:00:40)

    If anything these podcast do is I hope it starts igniting fires of these new younger generation of firefighters to start transitioning back to tradition!!! I missed the traditional fire service!

  • @aportman58
    @aportman58 4 роки тому +4

    Regarding the firefighter that didn't make the grab but if he hadn't put 100% of PPE he may would have been fired for violating policy!

  • @owensweetland342

    There are a lot of good departments out there. FDNY hasn't cornered the market on firefighting, as good as they are. Boston, New Haven, Providence, Hartford to name a few are great departments.

  • @aportman58
    @aportman58 4 роки тому +4

    The problem is for today's firefighters there is no balance when it comes to risks versus outcome! It is a different world in today's fire service and unfortunately it isn't a positive difference :(

  • @aportman58

    I can get you someone from the Houston Fire Department (HFD)!
