Hey whats up brothers. im in mechanicville fire.We dont do mayday as much as we should but we'll get there. even thought there hasent been a mayday in years. Also did u hear about the midrise fire? pretty sad. we were there with a full crew with in 2 minutes of the initial fire alarm dispatch(we dont tone out 2ce like renss cty) and still could do nothing for the man. Even thought it wasnt our fault he died some are still taking it pretty hard.
I took the RFFT class @ Montour Falls in 2006. Jeff Paris had us doing the 'Marine Corps" rifle prayer to our SCBAs. He states he was a Marine. His class did nothing to instill confidence in the trainees. Sending FFs through the course with less than a full bottle and screaming and yelling and threatening is not a way to develop a calm demeanor during a crisis. Had I not been on probation, Mr Paris would have been picking his teeth up off the floor. You were a MARINE, right?
@halliganuser Listen Chief Paris is a great guy and an excellent instructor, your company would be proud to have a guy like him and buddy he doesnt yell he projects. He has probably more years in the fire service then you
@cgfdny255 At Montour he was abusive, not projecting, and he got off on it. His reputation with the career Depts in the Capital District is not positive, in the Fire Service, reputation is all you got. Not that it matters, but I have 12 years in service, 4 in Schenectady on Hamilton Hill (he wouldn't last 5 minutes there), and 2 in my current job in a different state. Time in the service doesn't count if you don't have time on fire ground- EXPERIENCE is everything. Id NEVER work w him
@hockeygoalie39 would this happen to be wynantskill, ny? i just graduated firefighter one there this past monday night and it looks like the same exact building. i can't wait to take this course, looks mad fun
Nothing bothers me more than watching training videos where the FAT instructor is barking orders or standing around watching the rooks go through the course. Officers and Sr members need to Lead NOT Lean!
Way to go!! =) Those wires would have got me... I def need to work on that haha. I'm a pretty small girl so I dont need to drop my pack very often.... Only gone through a wire box once and got stuck a little bit. I guess It didnt help that my partner left me and I was screaming at her to come back and wait for me to get out first lol.
@rugbyfan33 same here. I hate the entanglement box but it teaches you a lot. I always get really mad in those and end up hitting the sides and saying every cuss word in the dictionary.
I too was wondering about them mayday shirts? would like to get some of them shirts. I like the props, very awesome!!!
