Our 911 EMS is looking at -> buying some of those BIG RIGS.. why I don't know but they say they -> will last longer and is better equiped to handle a big disaster.. I -> really don't think that in a disaster that it is going to matter if -> the rigs are busy on other calls and they have to turn it over to -> the private services (NOT IN THIS COUNTY) !! -> Ford Supermedic ?? Is that the one from McCoy Miller ?? The other night they purchased a Ford type III Supermedic from Road Rescue Inc. It's really nice. Lots of room, lots of storage space. The only changes that are going to be made to it, is the addition of 2 strobes in the grill, 1 strobe on each front quarter panel, and a strobe on each end of the lightbar. It's got a 350 diesel with the power stroke. It stills needs to be striped and lettered yet. --- HyperMail! v1.22 * Origin: Wizard's Tower BBS, NJ V34+ (908)-473-1933 (1:107/7010) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 197 EMERGENCY Ref: E5U00001 Date: 05/23/97 From: BLAKE BOWERS Time: 10:09pm \/To: ALL (Read 0 times) Subj: Dem pesky rulezzz Although everyone here has been playing extremely well, lets just look at the rules real quick.

I think that in general competition is good, and the more the better. The problem with any company that dominates a market is that they all too often adopt a take it or leave it attitude. This applies not only to the customers, but to the employees as well. I hope that the trend continues and that there are a lot of smaller companies that can serve as a counter poise to AMR.

CIESLINSKI Time: 01:48pm \/To: ALL (Read 0 times) Subj: Safety Tips SUBJECT: Safety Tips Gas Grill Safety Tips Liquid petroleum (LP) gas or propane, used in gas grills, is highly flammable. Each year about 30 people are injured as a result of gas grill fires and explosions. Many of these fires and explosions occur when consumers first use a grill that has been left idle for a period of time or just after refilling and reattaching the grill's gas container. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, consumers should routinely perform the following safety checks: Check the tubes that lead into the burner for any blockage from insects, spiders, or food grease. Use a pipe cleaner or wire to clear blockage and push it through to the main part of the burner. Check grill hoses for cracking, brittleness, holes, and leaks. Make sure there are no sharp bends in the hose or tubing. Move gas hoses as far away as possible from hot surfaces and dripping hot grease. If you can't move the hoses, install a heat shield to protect them. Replace scratched or nicked connectors, which can eventually leak gas. Check for gas leaks, following the manufacturer's instructions, if you smell gas or when you reconnect the grill to the LP gas container. If you detect a leak, immediately turn off the gas and don't attempt to light the grill until the leak is fixed. Keep lighted cigarettes, matches, or open flames away from a leaking grill. Never use a grill indoors. Use the grill at least 10 feet away from your house or any building. Do not use the grill in a garage, breezeway, carport, porch, or under a surface that can catch fire. Do not attempt to repair the tank valve or the appliance yourself. See an LP gas dealer or a qualified appliance repair person. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions that accompany the grill. Consumers should use caution when storing LP gas containers. Always keep containers upright. Never store a spare gas container under or near the grill or indoors. Never store or use flammable liquids, like gasoline, near the grill. To avoid accidents while transporting LP gas containers, consumers should transport the container in a secure, upright position. Never keep a filled container in a hot car or car trunk. Heat will cause the gas pressure to increase, which may open the relief valve and allow gas to escape. Consumers should use extreme caution and always follow manufacturer's instructions when connecting or disconnecting LP gas containers. Grills manufactured after October 1, 1995, are required to have three additional safety features to eliminate leak hazards: a device to limit the flow of gas in the event of hose rupture; a mechanism to shut-off the grill; and a feature to prevent the flow of gas if the connection between the tank and the grill is not leak proof. Consumers should consider purchasing grills that have these safety features. FELIX J. CIESLINSKI ... A flying saucer results when a nudist spills his coffee. * Evaluation copy of Silver Xpress.

CIESLINSKI Time: 01:48pm \/To: ALL (Read 0 times) Subj: Safety Tips SUBJECT: safety tips Charcoal Grill Safety Tips Charcoal produces carbon monoxide (CO) when it is burned. CO is a colorless, odorless gas that can accumulate to toxic levels in closed environments. Each year about 30 people die and 100 are injured as a result of CO fumes from charcoal grills and hibachis used inside. To reduce these CO poisonings, CPSC is offering the following safety tips: Never burn charcoal inside of homes, vehicles, tents, or campers. Charcoal should never be used indoors, even if ventilation is provided. Since charcoal produces CO fumes until the charcoal is completely extinguished, do not store the grill indoors with freshly used coals. In April 1996, CPSC voted to revise the label on charcoal packaging to more explicitly warn consumers of the deadly CO gas that is released when charcoal is burned in a closed environment. The new label reads, "WARNING...CARBON MONOXIDE HAZARD...Burning charcoal inside can kill you. It gives off carbon monoxide, which has no odor. NEVER burn charcoal inside homes, vehicles or tents." The new label also conveys the written warning visually with drawings of grills inside a home, tent, and vehicle. The drawings are enclosed in a circle with an "X" through it. While the new label requirement will not become mandatory until the end of the year, many charcoal manufacturers have already started using the new labels on charcoal packaging. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission protects the public from unreasonable risks of injury or death from 15,000 types of consumer products under the agency's jurisdiction.
