Please remember that the NFPA only makes reccomendations not legislation. The code would have to be adopted locally at either the municipal or state level. ...
True. But try to purchase a new apparatus that is not 100% NFPA compliant. And then protect yourself against litigation if you don't follow NFPA. Imagine the...

Here are pictures of Wharton NJ's new 2008 Pierce midmount aerial taken recently at the plant in Wisconsin. It is replacing a 1977 snorkel that is still in...
I just wrote one last week for following to closely to a fire apparatus, and another one two days ago for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle. Plus every...
