I have been interested in fire boats for several years, yesterday New York's Marine One was able to show it's stuff once again to the world. On 9/11 FDNY' marine companies supplied all the water to fight the results of the terrorist attack. For more information on Marine One, click here.
For several unique photos of yesterday's performance by FDNY, NY-EMS and others from Firehouse.com, click here.
The City of Newark, Ohio Fire Department has an excellent average response time of less than 4.5 minutes, the first ferry and FDNY equipment arrived with three minutes yesterday.
This is a good reason why the elected officials of all communities across the USA should never consider cutting emergency personnel to help budget cuts. Recently there was a mayor in California who wanted to cut fire personnel because his city had not had a fire death for many years. Maybe if he thinks about it, he will know why!
