@Slanzas_1075 God speed brothers.

This one hurts bad. These two men were the best of the best. Devoted Fathers, Husbands, Mentors, Leaders and absolute Warriors on the fireground. I went to Air Attack School with Josh and Trod is a dear friend to my son. May God protect their souls and watch over their families.

@FifthThird bank of your phone lines have had a busy signal for about the last 24 hours. Hard to call you back.

@cobeywilliamson @wildfiretoday This is doable with additional payloads for those cell denied area but 100 percent doable with the Team Awareness Kit. tak.gov The good thing is the USFS is already piloting this as a solution.

@wildfiretoday Fact of the matter is, if there was real time tracking of ground personnel by dispatch and air attack, most recent burn over scenarios would have been avoided. And the technology to accomplish that is already in everyone’s pocket.

@wildfiretoday It was an honor to consult with PCAST on this subject. The USFS has been piloting the Android Team Awareness Kit. It is used by the military and is built as is to be a tracker and field navigation too. It will ride on a variety of networks, MANET, SAT, CELL, LORA, VHF/UHF/7-800.

@unfuckedfire Totally! I have a rookie now and I ask questions to gauge their knowledge base. It my job to pass on my experiences (good/bad) and tips for them to develop their tradecraft. Its not my job to make them feel like an idiot for not knowing something.

Stop expecting new guys to know what took you years to learn.

I was this many days old when someone showed me chatGPT. Im speechless. Its FM in its purest form. openai.com/blog/chatgpt/

@129RQW Watching you guys flying missions today. Be safe guys.

@MontroseSAR Really got to get you guys exposed to ATAK. We are using the heck out of it for Swiftwater. Such an amazing tool and so extensible for your mission set. tak.gov

all eight people get across. After a few more river crossings, all were wet and cold but we were back safe at the rescue trucks. By 3:30 AM rescuers called it a night. This rescue of 8 came at the perfect time time, reminding us why we volunteer to do this. #LARain

Swiftwater Rescue of Five Children and Three Adults as the Storm Rolls In. Last night, a group of hikers became trapped between two rising river crossings due to the latest storm. Five kids aged 10-12 and three adults were at risk so one of the adults activated his emergency

@fireengineering I did the math worked 5300 hours of OT roughly 230 - 24 hour shifts, we work 120 regular shifts so this person had no time off unless he took vacation hours.

The captain had a base pay of $169,764 and was paid $502,681 for overtime, along with $19,637 in other pay and personnel benefits of $20,851. hddailynews.com/news/state/los…

@HeliSlacker @HotshotWake Did the math. OT rate is $92 an hour. Worked 5523 hours of OT. Thats 230 shifts. We already work 120 shifts a year. This guy had no time off unless he took his own shift off occasionally. LAFD pay in on the higher side of things due to cost of living.

@HeliSlacker @HotshotWake The math. Divide the base pay by 26 payperiods. We work 106 hours in two weeks payperiod straight time. Divide 2 week base by 106. That will be the hourly rate. Multiply that by 1.5 and there is your OT hour rate. Take the OT earnings and dive by OT hour rate = OT hours worked.

@NYCEMSwatch You mean "earned" that money. It does not come for free.

86 Los Angeles Fire Department employees made more than $400,000 in 2022, including a fire captain who made $712,933 last year. thecentersquare.com/california/los…

@pmturner94 Those Swedish pictures always throw me off...

IKEA furniture for the wife’s new attic-turned-library. Two identical, seemingly simple (IKR?) bookcases. Sober. Wish me luck.

@JohnAFisher I will hold back comment.

@AHJohansson Cough, encampment, cough.

Tonight marks the first time in a 32-year career that I've gone straight from a swift water rescue to a vegetation fire.
