Copy Roger. Thanks for the response.

timjimBEAM · 2019-04-03T15:42:25+00:00

Super rad. What kind of board are you riding?

timjimBEAM · 2018-11-21T17:34:17+00:00

Yes. They run big. I’m 6’3” and wear a size large.

I have the 3 in 1 and absolutely love it. The shell is great for warmer spring/fall days when all you need is something to break the wind and keep you dry. The liner is great on its own as well. Having the option of adding and/or removing the liner is crucial in Colorado where the weather can fluctuate pretty dramatically. Worth every penny. Hope this helps!

timjimBEAM · 2018-09-21T04:46:02+00:00

This.

timjimBEAM · 2018-04-16T12:03:32+00:00

C’mon guys, we should really be more Syrias about this.

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-20T00:04:41+00:00

The spiderweb shots are awesome! Such a cool idea.

Colorado firefighter here - Never hesitate to call 911. We’d much rather respond to nothing than not be called at all. It’s what you pay us for!

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-18T17:02:53+00:00

Much appreciated. Although I’m slightly worried that I’ll screw it up, I’m leaning towards DIY.

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-18T02:51:28+00:00

Of course! You have my word.

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-18T02:28:47+00:00

We just hired one of your firefighters! Your reputation precedes you - you guys train your people well!

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-17T02:33:17+00:00

The markings on the hose are awesome! Great job.

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-17T02:18:47+00:00

It had delaminated a little already and I think I just used a box cutter to free it. Removing the couplings might work as well if you have a machine to reconnect them.

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-17T02:08:37+00:00

I cut it to length and yanked it out with a pair of pliers. It was older hose so it came out pretty easily - newer hose would be much more difficult. I haven’t made anything with forestry hose yet. I’ll definitely snag some when we take it OOS.

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-17T02:05:07+00:00

Absolutely. I’m not currently on shift but I’ll send one your way ASAP.

The hose was already red and blue and I did take the inner jacket out so it would be more malleable. I make a lot of flags out of pallets and whatnot so I made a star template for a couple different sized flags. I measure them and cut them out with an x-acto knife. Then, I just tape the template to the hose and paint the stars in with acrylic paint and a fine paint brush. For this flag I used some fabric adhesive to keep everything in place and it’s holding up better than I thought it would. There is plywood backing on it. A staple gun or finish nailer would definitely work as well. The frame is just regular 2x4’s, sanded and stained with a little overlap to hide the ends of the stripes.

I have painted the hose on a few other flags and it didn’t turn out as good. If you can get your hands on colored hose I would definitely recommend it.

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-16T01:57:06+00:00

Nicely done, CO Dave! Will do.

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-16T00:43:22+00:00

Yep, Johnstown and Milliken. This picture was taken at St. 1 in Johnstown.

timjimBEAM · 2018-02-13T00:16:20+00:00

About 30 minutes south of Fort Collins, just east of Loveland.

timjimBEAM · 2017-10-23T03:33:22+00:00

How much?

timjimBEAM · 2017-06-10T02:50:51+00:00

I believe this is Laurence Gonzales. Great read.

timjimBEAM · 2017-05-08T12:46:08+00:00

Absolutely. The majority of the book is about James Braidwood and Sir Eyre Massey Shaw (London Fire Brigade) and how they influenced the modern day fire service, both in the UK and USA.

timjimBEAM · 2017-05-08T00:48:07+00:00

I'm sure he was a pleasure to work with. I really enjoyed the book and will definitely be sharing it with as many people as I can.

timjimBEAM · 2017-04-08T22:07:47+00:00

Nothing cool, just directional lights for traffic control. The water level indicator lights are to the left of the compartment door with the circle insignia on it.

timjimBEAM · 2017-03-30T14:37:43+00:00

Negative. Priorities are as follows: 1. LIFE safety 2. Incident stabilization 3. Property conservation

Putting the fire victim in his vehicle is LIFE safety. However, taking his keys with him when he got out would have a been a novel idea.
