These guys were way ahead of their time, using a mini-pumper for small runs such as garbage or EMS runs, saves wear and tear on the rigs. Visited them in the early 80's great set of guys, pulled out a lot of rigs for me.GG ;D ;D

  Emmett, once again, an Excellent job done on these profiles. As they say "you took the ball and ran with it".

  I remember going to these cities when they were all seperate depts. Some covered just one or two square miles of a densily populated area. And now reading of closing and browning out companies, I hate to think what it would have been like for some of these cities before they combined into one.

  And just another point of interest regarding the Northern Hudson Regional Dept. When Governor Wittman was leaving office, they asked her what was the toughest job she had during her career, and her answer was; trying to form all these seperate fire depts into one larger dept. I guess she had some role in it.

  Thanks again there "fdny1075k" for the job you do whether posting these profiles, or listing some of the jobs outside the FDNY. After meeting you, I'd like to tell the World that you are a "Credit to Your Generation". You're in college now and I sure hope you get your wish of becoming a firefighter.

Recently I had the opportunity to visit "mack" in Virginia. He is a volunteer firefighter assigned to Fairfax County Station 10 in Bailey Heights. In that firehouse is a BLS Ambulance (I was told there are only a few BLS Ambulances in the County). There is a Medic Ambulance, an Engine and a Truck. The manning for the Engine and Truck is an officer and three firefighters. All Engines have a firefighter who is also a paramedic and they carry all the advanced life support equipment needed to begin advanced care.

  All of Fairfax County units are assigned the 400 series numbers. In Station 10 where mack volunteers is "Ambulance 410", "Medic 410", "Engine 410", and "Truck 410". In Station 34 is Engine 434 and Haz Mat 434. Station 18 might have Engine 418, Rescue 418 (Heavy Rescue), and Battalion 418. Arlington County which borders Fairfax Station 10 is assigned the 200 series. (As an example...Engine 201, Truck 208, Battalion 211, Rescue 213 etc.). Prince William County had the 500 series, and I believe Arlington City had the 100s.

  As a volunteer firefighter there, mack is assigned to the firehouse every eight nights. When he reports in, the commanding officer assigns him where to go. Mack is held to the same standards as the career firefighters. In fact he was required to take the physical from the dept doctor and wasn't able to ride for three weeks until he took it. And by the way, mack passed it and was told by the doctor that he is the oldest member in the dept.

  Station 10 is the busiest firehouse in the county. In fact, while I was there for a period of about two hours, there were five calls where somebody went out the door and  made a run. The first due area is a mixture of just about everything. They have single family homes, some small factories, two and three story townhouses, and even a few high rise apartment buildings of about 25 stories each. The people in the neighborhood is an entire mix of various countries and races. I would guess on a hot summer night, the streets might get a little tough.

  Because Station 10 borders Arlington County, many times they respond with Arlington County as first due. Mack pointed out that you may get an engine from Arlington  and the rest from Fairfax. In fact he says sometimes the Arlington Company actually gets in there first. I was told of a rope rescue in one of those high rise apartment buildings. Even though the buildings are in Fairfax County, it was an Arlington County Firefighter that had made that rope rescue of a civilian on the floor below. Arlington County units can usually get to these buildings at the same time as Fairfax or even before.

  I really like the area from a fire dept stand point. I was very impressed with Fairfax Station 10 and the number of times somebody had to turn out on a run. I was also impressed with the first due response area. It reminded me of parts of Queens. I hope to visit the area again. And I would really like to thank mack for taking the time to show me around. Mack is really into the fire dept and he knows his stuff.

  He also grew up in Brooklyn and rode the very busy Coney island companies as a young guy, with his father who was on the job. He's got plenty of FDNY War Stories to tell also. I was pretty impressed with the ones he told me.

 
 
It's been awhile since this thread has been discussed. If there's any new updates, can we get them posted.

  Bridgeport, Ct recently did away with the Safety Officers (Safety 1) position for nights, holidays, and weekends out of the Central Ave Firehouse. They were using Captains and Lts on overtime for this. Instead as I understand it, of the two on duty Battalions, the second due Battalion Chief becomes the Safety Officer. I think Yonkers now does the same thing. That position is held until one of the off duty members of the Training Divison arrives (Training 1, 2, 3, etc).

  I believe in Providence, RI they use an Engine Co as a Safety Company, along with a Ladder Co for FAST on a working fire.

  "FDNY1075k", correct me if I'm wrong. And by the way, you still do an EXCELLENT job on rundowns from various cities. Thanks Emmett.

Detroit, MI - Detroit is currently the largest city in the state of Michigan and the 18th largest city in the United States. Once a prosperous industrial city and the largest automotive manufacturing town in America, Detroit has now fallen on difficult economic times and has a very high crime and arson rate. Motown, Hockey Town, or Rock City currently has a population of 681,000 people living in an area of 139 square miles of land. Detroit is currently one of the most dangerous cities in the United States with one of the highest homicide rates in the country. Detroit is located along the Detroit River and nearby the Great Lakes. The city has some high-rises in the Downtown area and some revitalized neighborhoods, such as the Waterfront, however much of the city remains subject to serious urban blight. Entire neighborhoods lie vacated or burned out, with many vacant lots and abandoned buildings, from smaller single-family homes to massive factory complexes.

The Detroit Fire Department(DFD) was established in 1860 and currently has over 1,141 uniformed firefighters and paramedics. The Detroit Fire Department, in recent years, has been cut in half due to budget cuts. In 2012, 15 fire companies were closed.

Unit, 1 Mobile Command Unit, and 22 ALS Medic Ambulances.

The DFD currently responds to approximately 165,000 emergency calls annually, with over 80 percent being emergency-medical services-related incidents, and approximately 9,000 working structural fires, with over 500 a month being arson-related.
