  1. The physical part here: http://www.fwfd.net/Physical-Ability-Test.html

    Remember its not about physical ability as much as mental ability. Your lucky its not OCFA, they have some of the hardest tests by far, a guy I know that worked for them said 9-12 of the 28 people in his class had been trying for 6 years. Set that goal, and work for it. If your motivated enough nothing can stop you.

    (Except mabie a 35 foot ladder) :)

  2. @Szron: FBI is still on scene, they have picked up the investigation from the Austin Fire Department. As for pictures, I cant really get some pics, I can see if I can pick some up from a friend of mine though. I know that the FBI mobile command center is here, but I am unsure if it is on scene. I know it was at the airport where the pilot departed from.

    @Lizard: Two bodys have been found, 1 is belived to be the pilot, but they have not disclosed any info about that publicy that I know of. Credit for this should be given to the Austin Fire Department, Austin Police Department, Austin-Travis County EMS, and Travis County Fire Rescue, Also to the countless civlians that helped in the rescue.

    Edit: Szron FBI Pics I found

  3. Ok so as some of you may or may not know, today a man set his home on fire(2 alarm) and then drove to the Georgetown airport just outside of my city Austin. He boarded his plane and then flew into an mildly populated area here in austin flying his plane into a federal building. Part of this building then colapsed, 13 people have been treaded for injurys, 2 of which are serious. One man is still reported missing. This was very Scary, I was just South West of this building and see it every day, and I am completly shocked at this serious turn of events. The investigation has been turned over from the Austin Fire Department, to the FBI due to the fact that the building is involved with the IRS and some small number of FBI agents. I passed this building on the way home today, I saw extensive damage, to the building and was smoking a bit still. The response was great, by both the Austin Police Department, Austin Fire Department, and Austin Travis County EMS, I am proud to know that these guys are in my city(which I work with the fire department as a volinteer)

  4. This is my local SWAT team

    the ones that started it all.

    Actually the Swat teams correctly speaking were started here, after the UT tower shooter incident police departments all around the US and world saw the need for a specialized unit to deal with high risk situations. But in terms yes LA created the first.

  5. From what I remember the US National Guard did have humvees driving around with mounted guns, but....... They were only driving around at key military instilations around the US. They were not driving through the streets for the public to see. So unless the next version of LA mod has an army base, its not going to happen.

  6. Wait, your box it full? what's the capacity? I changed mine to five million so I'd never have to delete messages, but whats the default cap?

    no idea, but im unable to change pages and delete pm's, weird.

    @station9 no problem, i believe dc can change it if you want :)

  7. Had a hazmat call earlier today at a nearby school today, apparently some sort of chemical was spilled and got on 2 diffrent kids arms, who both had an allergic reaction to the liquid, as well as another child who got it in his eyes, in a report I saw the childs eyes were bleeding. I beleve 1 was released from the hospital, but the other 2 are in the hospital.

  8. Sweet, well sign up on the fourm making it your first letter of your first name, then your last name. For example, mine is J.Bridwell. Once you sign up contact DC and he will get you a position. Any questions feel free to pm me on here( need to empty my inbox on the fourms)

  9. I was Activated, but not mobilized as a part of Texas Task Force 1 made up of over 300 personnel and around 12,000 pieces of equipment costing around 5 million dollars. Reason being due to transportation issues in and around Hati. Most of the USAR teams in Haiti, got training from the same location as me, which is the 52 acre traning facility in collage station run by TEEX called Disaster City. From my traning there I can say, that people all over the world should be proud of there rescue teams, and even though everyone is not able to be saved, I know that these guys will not give up on the people of Hati, and that is somthing everyone should be proud of.

  10. May be going to Haiti to help with rescue efforts, sadly there not under ideal conditions. Im just waiting to find out some detailed information before I pack up and leave. I hope everyone prays for the men,women, and children, rescue workers and civilans. Sorry if this dosent make sense, im typing this on my Tpod in a hurry.
