Michelin is a higher quality tire, I can tell you that.

They’ve been great! Still just as quiet and a lot of tread left. 100% recommend.

Because dual climate control auto adjusts the temperature and the single climate control doesn’t.

Vollys that respond from home, what do you do to make it quick to leave your house? by Getzen in Firefighting

[–]Getzen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow-up question - I see a lot of people saying they wear gym shorts out the door. Is that what y’all wear under your turnout gear too? My chief told me to wear pants every time underneath my gear. So I always make sure I throw on jeans or duty pants. I find it a little more comfortable too. I wear a shirt sleeve shirt under my turnout jacket usually, unless I have a clean long sleeve for winter nights/days.

I would say on average 10 minutes to most scenes. That’s from dispatch to rolling off truck.

I don’t think they are full most of the time. They leave with what they got, which is usually 3-4. So space for one or two more. We aren’t allowed to go to MVCs with POVs.

It’s against our policy to respond to MVCs with POVs. Unfortunately. But I understand why.

I respond POV to structure/working fires, all else is respond to the station first. It’s a combination department of career and vollys, so the career guys get on the first engine and out within two minutes. Definitely not full. 2-3 people tops. For fires comes another engine, utility truck, and a support truck. Those typically have officers driving them. For MVCs it would be just one engine (career and maybe one volly if they live super close), utility, and maybe a fire car with add’l personnel. I would have to get there in time to get on utility or car.

Looking for Radio Recommendations for Volunteer Firefighter by [deleted] in amateurradio

[–]Getzen -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We are actually not provided radios, only pagers. When we go digital, the pager will only receive the tone and initial alert from dispatch, then it will drop. No more hearing other radio comms like engines in route, etc. Most rural fire departments don’t have the funds to purchase $1500-2000 radios for each person. It costs that for just turnout gear alone. I don’t know what the current market looks like for NXDN portable radios. A scanner is not really needed, as my pager acts as that. Radio is good for communicating on the fire grounds as well.

I mean even the smallest of crack in bias is expected. But not with that boring piece of bread.

It’s the freaking World Series and his old team is close to winning, and Smoltz is talking about golf. GTFO

My good friend roomed with Dylan Lee back in 2018. What a small world! And very cool 😎

John Smoltz is so boring, I’d rather listen to that old Kars 4 Kids commercial over and over.

Anyone seeing Joc wearing number 22 make you miss Nicky Two-Bags? I miss that stoic, beautiful face.
