     As a price reference Gall's lists that light for $119.99.  It's a very
nice light if you like that sort of thing, but I prefer a "stealthier"
approach.

     My setup on my POV is a Dashmaster strobe with a suction cup mount on
the windshield, wig-wags, and brake light/backup light flasher.  All wired
with a relay off the hazard light switch.  One flip of that switch and
you're a rolling light show.  The wig-wags are what really gets them out of
the way, and a 100W siren will soon take care of the rest ;-)

     The only (not very) visible details are the Dashmaster and an
ambulance plate.  Stealthy radio installation, too.  Of course your state
and local laws may vary from ours, etc., etc.

The Ford 7.3 Liter diesel rocks and rolls just fine. We bought one of
the first ones in 1988, and ran it all through the hills around the
Finger Lakes of New York State with no problems.

Climbs steep hills, accelerating all the way.

Now, the 6.9 liter diesel, on the other hand, should be avoided. It
can't get out of it's own way in a parking lot.

There has been  alot of press concerning the Ontario Air Ambulance
system these days.

The media has been claiming that a million dollar plus hangar at Toronto
Island airport is too small for the Dash-8 plane it was meant to house.
This is being denied by service officials.  It seems they still want
to transfer patients to ground units outside in the snow and rain.

Oh well...

I happen to agree in the major portion of the text, but have an 
interesting aside to mention while on the subject.
 
I run a Fido system in MA and had the honor to introduce to the MA 
State Fire Marshals office the world of computer communications and 
BBS's in general. One of the people in that office posted a note to 
me in Fire Net requesting information about ASCII coding of the Fire 
Reporting System here in our state. It's quite similar to the NFIRS 
forms and we had been in technical discussions about how to bring 
BBS type of file transfers into the State of MA for incident reporting.
 
As a typical new user, she posted a request for this data in this 
area. I must have, as a Sysop, received about 9 letters chastising 
me for the lack of forthought. Now I do find it amusing that the 
conversation was about a system that may soon become Statewide for 
incident reporting of Fire Responses and that this is the "Fire Net" 
area.
 
As I stated above, I agree with your plea to reduce personal traffic, 
but in the same breath, it's disapointing to have so much flackbefall 
an employee of a State Fire official that was just trying to communicate

with other Fire people.
 
I'd suggest a little more consideration from all parties.

.........................................................................

I've read alot about patch trading, but I'd like to write to you about a

young boy in our fire district.  His story was published in the Oregon
Fire 
Chief's Association Communication (a newsletter - Vol2 Number 3).  I
have 
paraphrased liberally.  The author of this article is the brother of his

adoptive parents.

Andrew is 3 years old, and was born to an alcohol abusive women.  All 
through the pregnancy this woman consumed "two quarts of hard liqour,
two 
packs of cigarettes, and countless over-the-counter drugs". Needless to
say 
this has created ailments enough "to beat down and destroy the biggest
and 
burliest B-Shift Trucky.  Through numberous life-treatening physical 
challenges he refuses to give up. 
 
"One of the happiest days of his life occured on his birthday when the 
Beavercreek RFPD #55 pulled into his driveway with a real fire engine
that 
he got to sit in.  His proudest possession today is a poster-size 
photograph of him sitting in that engine.

Andrew is a little boy that may never get to collect baseball cards or 
marrbles or buttons.  You can help make his life a little happier,
though.  
He would adore and treasure a sample of your organization's patch or a 
picture of your nicest fire engine or ladder truck hanging on his wall. 
I 
would sure appreciate it if the friends I have made in the Oregon fire 
service could find the time to slip a patch in the mail today. You would
be 
making a brave little boy very, very happy.

Please mail them to:
Andrew Tharp
18156 Red Fir Drive
Beavercreek, OR 97004"

I quoted the last two paragraphs because I couldn't have said it better.
 
Swapping patches is fun, but throw just one in the mail to this boy and

show him the ENTIRE USAs fire service cares.

If you feel you'd like to verify this story call Beavercreek Fire at 
503-632-3232 and ask for Lt Mike Corless (C-Shift).

Here is an amusing little story to share with everybody.  Over the
holidays, I went to Orlando, Fl for a few days.  While at MGM studios
one day, I saw a man jogging down the street carrying a fire
extinguisher.  I followed behind to see where the "fire" was.  It
turned
out that someone had thrown a cigarette into a an enclosed trash can
and
started to smolder.  Well, the man toook the internal can out of the
apparatus, pulled the pin on the fire extinguisher, aimed the hose
straignt down into the can, and pulled the lever.  The extinguisher
turned out to be an ABC type, and when he pulled the lever, the force
of
the powder caused it to richochet out of the can and onto surrounding
people.  Well, that caused a panic, and people started running, but
once
they got far enough away and realized that they were feeling better,
they stopped.  I'll bet that man feels a bit foolish now. :)

AT>because of leakes in the fittings, so I pulled the pins (which
AT>were intact),
AT>aimed at the base, and shot.  Nothing came out.

By your letter, I take it that the extinguisher in question was a dry
chemical. When you pulled the trigger & squeezed the handle, did any
gas
 discharge? Dry chem's are notorious for the powder "packing" into a
solid
 clump in the bottom of the cylinder. When this happens, & a discharge
is
 attempted, the gas will escape, but no powder will be produced. This
is
 extremely apparent when an extinguisher is vibrated over a period of
time,
 such as in your boat, or in the trunk of a car. An easy fix for this is
to
 take the extinguisher & turn it upside down & shake it. Repeat this
procedure
 several times until you can feel the powder moving freely within the
cylinder.
 I know this from experience, as we "flip" all of our extinguishers at
least
 twice a month on all of our apparatus.  If by chance this isn't the
case, your
 extinguisher probably leaked off around a faulty or dry rotted o -
ring, at
 the neck where the cylinder & the nozzle meet. An extinguisher that
small
 isn't worth recharging, you'd be better off buying a new one.

Greetings,
    Does anyone have any opinions about devices that measure BP and
pulse from the index finger?  I have recently seen several ads for
devices ranging in price from $80 - $100. I played with one for about
2 min. getting the following readings: 160/110, 87/40, 110/75. The
last one is about right.  Since I didn't know what I was doing I don't
know whether the device was unreliable or my technique was bad.  Any
info or experience would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Well, I'm complaining about all the garbage coming into FidoNet from
your side of the fence.  None of it is FTSC compatible nor required
over here.  Until you clean up your act over there, you have no
justification for crying about what comes from this side.
