Thanks for joining CSF (Common Sense Firefighitng ). It's a leadership and fire ground decision making page on the site. Jump into any discussion at any time. There are always some good ones going. Is your dept located near Hackensack? I was just out there teaching a survival class in FDNY with some of those guys in the class. How many members do you get on the first due alarm?
