    That’s what happens when businesses and brands sell to someone who is just looking to make money. It always loses the personnel touch, commitment and passion of the original creator. Sad

    Monsey NY 2nd Alarm 1145 4/22/26

    Yes Dave. I looked at the pics of it on Zillow, the Monsey Scoop, and several Other sites. It is a very large single family home - basically a mansion, that rents for $10,000 a month. There is a Mikvah in the basement that one of the firefighters fell into during search for the fire. Also radio...

    FDNY EMS to raise transport fees

    This is no different than a majority of other EMS systems throughout the country. As the costs of medical supplies, price of ambulances, fuel and salaries rise so too must transport fees. Transport fees only offset the costs of running an EMS system. They come nowhere near paying for the total...

    My bad. It wasn’t the HR nozzles. It was the cockloft nozzles that I heard were going to be placed on all engines. Maybe it’s a near future plan. Thanks for the clarification. Hope you are doing well.

    Yes. Agree with you and the hydraulics. Remember pump ratings are at a draft. When connected to a good main with 60 psi, and double or triple tapping the hydrant a 1500 GPM pump can produce 2300 GPM at a max pressure of about 90-100 psi. Now take that GPM into a second engine alongside to...

    Nice work Skyler. Had me sitting here doing friction loss calculations. So my question is this Standard Large Diameter Hose (LDH) has a maximum Working Pressure of 185pi. Can be pushed to 200 psi. You can buy LDH with max working pressures of 300 or even more. Many of the high volume industrial...
