I've never heard them called brush rigs before. We call them patrols. Cool term for it

After 9/11 we did a lot of training called NIMS that was supposed to make all the cop talk and fire talk the same and we changed what we called some apparatus to be the same as the rest of the fire service. That was only part of NIMS. Our radio traffic was supposed to change from code to plain English but as of last year when I retired it was still code. I think things are still different everywhere

While I'm no firefighter, my boots served me well today. I helped two co-workers "kick out" a fire that started on the shoulder near a county mower on the way to work today. We are pretty dried out in SE AZ and this could've gone bad quick. It was only about 100 yards behind the mower.

NIMS is very common nowadays. I have done a lot of it. It seems Fire departments have adopted the plain English guideline more so than police. Police, fire and ems have the same radios at my full time job and they are regularly talking in code. My volunteer gig and all the departments dispatched by that comm center (different than full time job) all use plain English.

I did a couple classes for NIMS' but being only 21 and getting hired when I was only 18. The only thing that I have ever dealt with radio traffic wise has always been clear text for me. I don't know any 10 codes.

I made it through all the NIMS but never got to be an officer, our Dept required the certs to be officers. The counties around ours use 10 codes and our county used a different code. Then the paid depts had 800 radios and the volunteers had vhf, it made it all interesting on mutual aid calls. But I still loved every minute of it

I like the black! Not digging the two mini bars on top of the F150, though.

Today I interviewed for Captain and EO for the dept I volunteer with (Cypress Creek FD). 3 capt and 3 EOs open which will make 3 of our 4 stations full time. Start date is Jan 2 so it will be a tense couple weeks coming up!
