I'm having issues with the pics posting correctly. I think I'm going to have to study posting here in the new format some more.

I looked and didn't see a thread for these, so I thought I'd start one with some of the ones I've shot.

First up, is former IFD Tac 1 a1981 International-S/Hackney/IFD Shop built Confined Space/Collapse Rescue.[attachment=4]

Please share any issues you may encounter with the new board software here.

I deleted the other Notices thread.  While it seems that any migration I attempt stalls, I am still plugging away trying to make the Wordpress based site work, but I am not optimistic.

 

I installed phpbb onto the site and attempted a migration, but the migration tool immediately threw errors upon examining the database so that and most other board software is probably not an option.  The problem seems to be the fat that this site is so graphics (photo) heavy.  It either overwhelms the migrator, or causes the migrator to run painfully slow.

 

Please feel free to post as usual here.  I have no idea how long the Invision board software will hold up and since it is past end of life and unsupported, I make no guarantees. 

Hello everyone I am looking for any photos of municipal department Foam units and chemical units in service or retired, because I enjoy seeing the unusual purpose apparatus that you don't find in every fire station, whether they are foam pumpers, foam tankers, hi ex foam units or any other type of these apparatus, I am looking for photos of any of these types of special purpose apparatus.

Hey all, not sure if they're posted anywhere, but I was wondering if anyone had any blank trucks, looking for Pierce Velocity, Rosenbauer Commander, and Spartan.    Engines (side mount pump, and top mount (cat walk style) pump, and Platforms.   Credit will be given.  Needing something blank to work on designs for new trucks at work. 

 

Greatly appreciated for any help.  Thank you much.

I was out trying to get some photos of a project that I am working on when I heard the tone for a working structure fire on the Pulsepoint app that I have on my phone. .Right after that I heard the Captain of Engine 1 calling Fire Dispatch and asking if they had a working fire report in the downtown area. Dispatch informed him that they had just dispatched it out and there were numerous calls. Engine 1 reported that they had a large header in the downtown area and that it was a working fire. Engine 1 called for a 2nd Alarm right after getting on scene due to the size of the Structure.

 

I was able to make it on scene within 5 to 10 minutes and was able to get some good shots.Below is the press release that the PIO for the department made. 

 

As I got out of my truck and was walking up to the fire. I parked about a block away.

RELEASE: 18-016

Two Alarm Fire Damages Downtown Vacant Apartment Building

No Injuries Were Reported During Incident

 

Las Vegas fire dispatchers received numerous 9-1-1 calls at 12:20 p.m. Saturday that flames were coming out a window of a vacant apartment building at 232 S. Seventh Street (on corner of Bridger Ave). When firefighters arrived on scene heavy smoke was showing from the building and a palm tree was also on fire. A second alarm was dispatched to bring additional personnel and equipment.

 

As firefighters were setting up to fight the fire, they said squatters were leaving the building. A private security firm arrived on scene and detained three of the squatters as they were leaving the building.

 

It took firefighters approximately thirty minutes to bring the fire under control. The building has no utilities connected to it. It was boarded up also. A representative of the property management firm that watches over the building told fire investigators the building has been vacant for 15 years.

 

Fire investigators believe the fire started in a room on the second floor and spread. The rooms still have furniture and mattresses in them which adds fuel to the fire. There was evidence that squatters were staying in the building including drug paraphernalia. Fire investigators talked to three individuals that were detained by security personnel that are watching the property. After the interview it was determined they were not directly involved with the fire, but was squatting in the building and left when they noticed the building was filling with smoke on the first floor.

 

The exact cause of the fire could not be determined, it is believe squatters are responsible.

 

The fire caused an estimated $100,000 damage.

 

There were no reported injuries during the incident.
