Trees are occasionally pulled down to position fire department vehicles, however that usually occurs later on in an operation. When first arriving units get on the scene they try to work around obstacles as it is faster than trying to cut them down and clear them. If there is a fire and a tree down outside I would suspect that both may be due to an explosion. Trees don't usually fall down at fires. I am a Battalion Chief in the New York City Fire Department.

I just came from a memorial service for a good friend who was a Chief on the New York City Fire Department.He also happened to be a freeper. I can't begin to describe how great a guy John was and how much I'll miss him. We talked politics,history and world events all the time. And he loved you guys and told me about the web site. I think he introduced me to it with "Patton's speech to the Third Army",a truly great speech which I just reread here. He also always carried with him Teddy Roosevelt's "Man in the Arena " speech,could someone post that? So long John
