Yay! State, Country, Service & Use (Maybe)

Service - RFS (Rural Fire Service) State - Sydney, Australia Brigade - Mooney

With the New Seagrave Marauder II 2000 GPM Pumpers currently being rolled out to the stations, I would like to know what is your opinion on the new rigs? Do you like them or hate them? I want Your Opinion!

Forty-two members of the FDNY’s Urban Search and Rescue (USAR) team were deployed to Haiti on Jan. 14, to assist with the relief efforts following the magnitude 7 earthquake that occurred on Jan. 12. The group, sponsored by New York City’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), includes 36 firefighters from the Special Operations Command, four rescue paramedics and two FDNY physicians. Each has diverse, highly-specialized training in a variety of disciplines, including collapse operations, rope rescue, high-angle rescue, rigging, confined space rescue and emergency triage. They will provide any support needed in response to the harsh conditions in the area. The FDNY members are joined by 40 members of the NYPD as part of the New York Task Force 1. The members and approximately 20 tons of equipment departed from Stewart Air Force Base in Newburgh, N.Y. The FDNY members will provide any support needed in response to the harsh conditions in the area. Managing the group is Rescue Battalion Chief Joe Downey, whose late father, Deputy Chief Ray Downey, started the USAR program. Chief Ray Downey was killed in the World Trade Center attacks. The team is self-sufficient and able to operate for at least 72 hours from the time they reach the island, with their own supply of water, food and shelter. The FDNY’s USAR team members most recently responded to the Gulf Coast region in 2008 for Hurricane Gustov. There are 28 USAR teams located throughout the United States, which can be deployed within six hours of activation.
