Hi all,
Ok i'm not sure why i find this so funny,but i do!!A little back ground first on FDNY Operations.Since sept 11,the fdny has started the ics(incident command system)Actually it was always around but now they changed the way it works and have made it a vital part of every big operation.Basiclly at every large operation you have 1 boss( Lt/captain/chief/batt chief)in charge of every vital aspect of resuce.So say Lt #1 is in charge of 25 men and he sends them to the next building over from say the one on fire to search for victims over come by smoke and captain #1 send 25 men over to the roof of the building on fire to vent the smoke(basiclly cut holes in the roof to vent) And chief #1 takes 25 men and does this or that with them and batt chief etc,Each of these Lt's/captains/chief has a name on scene like staging or scene saftey or Lsu(Logisticis support,in charge of getting the supplys needed to the men or women that need it at a big scene)BTW the #1's mean nothing at all.so now these 4 men(Lt/captain/chief/batt chief)are standing together or are in contact via radio and they all together are in control of around 100 men on any big scene.
Here's the funny part,it was decided that they would be huge orange/yellow vest with thier role on scene written on then like staging officer or lsu officer or saftey officer.Well the city ordered like 50,000 of these vest remember no boss has any single role until on scene and he is told what his role is at this scene,so these bosses must carry dozens of these vest with the different roles typed on them until he gets to the scene and is told what role he is doing,also the city bought hundreds of extras of these vest for several reasons,just in case any get damaged or lost or misplaced and because when you buy in bulk you get a huge discount.Ok here is the funny part i promised,these new vest show up today and on a very red tag is written in bold,capital letters,Extreme Warning this vest is very flamable and in test of 139F and higher this vest has burst into flames,do not use near fire or open flame,Not for use in fire or for fire protection or supression agencys!
Get it i Work for the FDNY(fire dept of new york city)Not sure what the total bill was for these,but i imagine 50,000 of these things cost the city a nice penny and we can't even use them,they are being recalled by the fdnyand they sent a order out "not for field use return asap,do not use at all"Not sure if you guys think it has funny as i do,but you had to see us reading the warning tags.I guess you had to be there for it.
