Hello Ray. We worked together years ago at CBS Television. So glad to see that you are doing well. Very happy for you! I will never forget all of the great times working with you, Bill, Jeff, Monica, etc. Best always, Suzanne (Meehan)
This is the sad truth of it. We all take it home with us. it never goes away. Being understaffed can mean life or death for the people we save. My thoughts and prayers are with this gentleman.
Lt. Raymond McCormack, I can honestly look back in time and say that I have had the pleasure to know you. I know that your father is looking down from heaven saying" I'm very proud of you." With him patting you with pride on your back. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to meet him. I still remember an article that you had written, and was published about extension cords, and the memory in which the extension cords contain. You explained in detail how to wrap up the cords due to their memory. Preventing an unraveled mess, and extending the life of the cord in the technique that it's wrapped. But I use your technique every time, and every day. You undoubtedly have made a fine career in the NYFD in which you can be proud of. Especially with your many accomplishments. You have also saved countless lives working as a FireFighter in the NYPD as well. Every day, you go home a "Hero" saving lives. Not many people can have the privilege to say that. Of course, not every life can be saved. But you have saved countless lives. Due to your knowledge, skill, intellect, and teamwork as a FireFighter. I hope that everything is going well for you and your family. Again, it's been privilege to know you. Jim L. Staunch stanich1@yahoo.com
Now that I have a TH-cam account, I want to say think you for this video. I was researching firefighting in order to do the best service I could to your Brotherhood in the novel, "Fire Alive!" Dirty, Difficult, Demanding, Dangerous. That's the way the dragon always is. Thank you.
Id love to have an instructor like this man. Most the guys in Kentucky are real sticks in the mud, and death by powerpoint. I am a volunteer firefighter and paid fulltime EMT. I was a paid FF years ago, but being from Chicago I couldnt weather the Kentucky fire politics an butt kissing so i seeked new endeavors. I love fighting fire, yeah it stinks its for free, but hey, the biggest reward of it is being the difference in someones life, or your fellow brothers life. The quote was molded from backdraft, "YOU GO, WE GO"
Can u imagine if the USFA and Pennwell would come together? The NFA has been around before PennWell. Why son’s they come together?Money! Get on board Pennwell. Do the right thing and marry up with the USFA and NFA. That’s the key.
Cheers for the Video! Forgive me for butting in, I am interested in your opinion. Have you ever tried - Rozardner Lucky Interview Reality (search on google)? It is an awesome one off product for firefighter interview tips minus the normal expense. Ive heard some extraordinary things about it and my close friend Aubrey at very last got cool results with it.
Attitude! The American fire service has the wrong attitude and description of this JOB! That's it! It Is A JOB, Not an adventure! This is what every fire fighter and officer should be basing the Job on. "Stop The Threat as Fast and Safe as possible while using the Least Amount of Water." Now THINK long and hard about each of those Capitalized letters. You approach every situation like it is You, Your Family and Your Possessions! STOP The Threat! What is the Threat at any fire? What causes everything that is bad. Combustion = Gasses = Flames = Heat!! What do we use the most to eliminate Combustion? Water! So it seems the best way to protect victims, fire fighters and the structure is to eliminate the Combustion. FAST and SAFE! If you see Visible Burning Material when you arrive, you extinguish the burning material. If it is outside the house like a garage, you use whatever tool that applies water the Fastest and most effective! Not the most Fun! Not your favorite toy! If the fire is inside a room, you break the windows at the fire rooms to open a direct venting location to the exterior and apply water to the burning material! You have just lowered the temperature by 1000 degrees in a few seconds. The vast majority of fires are in residential dwellings and every room in a house or apartment has windows. So where ever the fire is, it will most likely be visible. If you want to get more smoke out of the house, you check wind direction and open more windows after all VBM has been extinguished. Opening windows can me done Fast and Safe from the exterior in street close if necessary. Water can be applied to the VBM in street close if necessary. So once the pump is activated and the onboard water is ready to flow, there is No reason why VBM can't be Quickly and Safely eliminated. There is NEVER a better reason to climb on the roof of a BURNING BUILDING to vent heat and smoke than just opening windows and applying water! LEAST AMOUNT of WATER! Why? First of all, it makes you THINK of where every drop goes and what it does. It makes you THINK about turning off the nozzle off when you have eliminated the threat. It makes you THINK that you could run out at any time! It makes you THINK about unnecessary water damage. Enough said because that pretty much covers everything. 90% of these motivational speeches are BS. K.I.S.S.
Brothers and Sisters lets have some respect and truly listen to a 32yr veteran of the FDNY who was there on 9/11 and make a decision on what do WE do next ? th-cam.com/video/nQrpLp-X0ws/w-d-xo.html

FAST and SAFE!

LEAST AMOUNT of WATER!
Why? First of all, it makes you THINK of where every drop goes and what it does. It makes you THINK about turning off the nozzle off when you have eliminated the threat. It makes you THINK that you could run out at any time! It makes you THINK about unnecessary water damage.
