Damn, will this thing not die?
Guys, really listen to FFFred and read the whole post.
NIMS was not made to deal with FDNY, CFD etc these are departments that have good workable day to day systems (not saying I buy into the idea it wouldn't work, but why fix what ain't broke). NIMS is really intended for the many planless, commandless departments out there, that don't see much action. Leave the FDNY guys alone, once everybody else is on one page (like that will happen) then you can debate bringing them into NIMS.
I'm kinda tired of the 140 year thing too, I mean 140 years ago FDNY ran horse drawn equipment and it would be another 20 years before we started arguing about using steamers instead of hand powered pumpers.
