Blades: Are you doing FDIC this year? At this time, I'm planning on trying to make it back again! Let me know, maybe we can at least meet up for a drink! Dan

Good job guys! Everybody Went Home!

Glad to hear that you and the Sheriff have come to their senses!!!!! I had found it hard to believe that you were simply going to walk away on a single day! Too much experience and time, but it does happen! Glad that you will be around to keep an eye on the FNG's! Dan

Congrats Gary. I feel safe in saying that the Team will be diminished without you there. I am glad that you have survived your career and have the opportunity to retire and move on to the next chapter of your life. I hope that you will remain a part of this forum and share your vast knowledge...

I didn't have to do it, but I have heard of people putting pieces of the foam weatherstripping on the nose block to help with sealing rather than the hard nose piece. Might be worth a shot!

Gary: I wish you the absolute best for your retirement. I am CERTAIN that is has well earned. I hope that you are able to enjoy yourself and continue to dive, except for fun! I am worried as you have always been the bonding factor to this forum and I hope that we can keep this going. You...

Thanks for your response Blades. I was really struggling for how best to reply. The personnel in our PSD Community put ourselves at risk so these stories can be told. We are a regional Team and have personnel spaced out around our response area to where it is highly likely that we can have...

Glad to hear you are doing OK Gary! Vehicles can be replaced! NOT looking forward to the snow here in Western PA!!!! Stay safe!

We had worked with a dog team on one of our drownings well outside of our district (out of state in fact). The victim fell off a houseboat at the middle of a 200' long marina (drunk of course) and I wanted to concentrate our efforts along the dock starting at the houseboat and working down. We...

Already???????

I always feel you cannot go wrong with a Whaler, and you have picked a good engine. Just out of curiosity, did you guys look at Sea Ark? The build a good solid boat. I'm relatively certain that is who had built the City of Pittsburgh's River Rescue boats. Also had the dive door.

Good job guys! You have had a busy year this year! Stay safe!

Are you kidding me??? What's the hold-up?

Sorry Gary, but I think that this is completely unacceptable and incorrect!!!!!! Your actual number was 370 and you have MANY years to go!!!! Joking aside, it is like the end of an era! You have been doing this forever and it will be a great loss to the people you serve. I wish you well and...

Glad that you are all OK. I have watched the videos and a truly amazed that there were not more people injured or killed. Unreal display of Mother Nature's rath! Stay safe!

In looking at the demo video, this appears to be tempered glass which is held together it appears from Window Tint which was applied to the windows. You can do the same thing with a spring punch. The problem arises from Tempered Glass which is the same used in Windshields. If you happen to...
