Newfoundking Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Well LAPD cops don't wear jeans with the uniform shirt first of allAnd the guns could've been firing blanks, or even just rubber bullets, they might hurt a bit, but won't kill..

Newfoundking Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 Okay, well it's very easy to fake a lot of things.. I think we should stop talking about this right now though...

MCERT1 Posted September 19, 2009 Report Share Posted September 19, 2009 I'm sure Mike has been very busy with the Station fire and such... I also recall that he was headed to Canada for a while.Anyways, here's a question for you all: Anyone know how the Georgian (the country not the state) Emergency Services are structured?Links and images would be greatly appreciated, so far I've turned up nothing useful.

Xplorer4x4 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 I was listening to the local police scanner on one of the local media sites. An officer asked another officer if he could bring over a PDT or PBT(couldnt quite make it out). Any one know what he was talking about?

MCERT1 Posted September 21, 2009 Report Share Posted September 21, 2009 Can't believe I didn't make this connection earlier (especially considering how much I hear it). A PBT is Preliminary Breath Test, aka Breathalizer or Alco-Blow...What ever brand you want to use in the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted September 22, 2009 Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 Thanks guys. I figured it was a breath test based on what was said but i couldnt figure out what PBT stood for. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefighter111 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 This question's aimed at mikesphotos, but anyone else can anwser it about where they live. I saw a video tonight about LAFD rescue ambulances, and in it, they had a shot of the crew tying a patient to a backboard with what appeared to be gauze, and I was wondering, to they really do that. I know that any time I'm on a call with my ambulance corps, we used spider straps (brand name) on our back boards, and all the other crews I've worked with or seen have used some type of straps. It seems to me that straps would be easier, and faster to put on rather than having to tie the patient down. I would think it'd also waste alot of supplies. Just wondering what other people did else where in the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROOPER05 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Sometimes for head & neck stabilization they wrap gauze around entire backboard and forehead, - usually it is spider straps though... And sometimes even if they have spider straps - they will still gauze the head down - However not knowing the nature of the call - or the reason for doing so - - - I cant figure out why other then, missing equipment, to many patients not enough supplies, or just because lol...TROOPER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what supprised me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCERT1 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Interesting article, I did not know FDNY Firefighters could write parking tickets...The FDNY EMS division has a truck called WMD-1 as well as trucks called LSU I was wondering if people had pictures of them or knew what LSU stood for.

jab16 Posted October 31, 2009 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 From what I found:LSU stands Logistical Support Unit. The unit(s) respond to MCI to provide equipment i.e backboards etc. The members of the department that work these units also go to the hospital in the areas of the stations that they turn out of to retrieve the equipment that this there to be returned to the station or stations.

Xplorer4x4 Posted November 1, 2009 Report Share Posted November 1, 2009 MCERT was right.Few more questions to, all pd related.First, if an officer requests a second run card for the same address, what does that mean? Whats it mean if they say (insert officer name or unit number-224SAM for example) go south? Does it mean approach the incident from the south?Is a CIT Officer pretty much the equivalent of the Negotiator of the LA Mod? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 How long do they usually keep an engine on scene after a 2 alarm fire? We had a 2 alarm fire with about 10 trucks responding, and most units were packing up around 5 or 6 PM but there was still an engine on scene at about 8 PM tonight with another truck showing up when we left, which i assume was there to relive the ffs and engine on duty.

MCERT1 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 Most likely they were sticking around to monitor for any hotspots to flare up. It's pretty standard on larger fires, also depends on the department procedures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xplorer4x4 Posted November 9, 2009 Report Share Posted November 9, 2009 I wasnt questioning why they were still there, just how long is typical for them to stay on scene. It was a pretty big fire though, thats for sure:http://www.courierpress.com/news/2009/nov/...le/?partner=RSShttp://www.14wfie.com/global/story.asp?s=11465681 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
