I’ll post more on the fire a little later. Engine #6 arrived with heavy fire showing from the “Charlie” side of the house of origin. They had flame impingement to the exposure on the “Bravo” side due to high winds from the west. Temperatures were in the mid teens with a wind chill factor making it to feel near ...

Oh yea.. I’m hitting the “big time” now! I bet Statter or The Fire Critic don’t have a Christmas oriniment … well, I do. Kinda … sorta… At least Hydrant Gal “thinks” it’s me ..LOL How’s that for a headline Statter?? “Ironfiremen’s influence has no borders” .. (she’s from Canada Dave). Cool huh?

Burrrr is an understatement!! Record cold temps and snow falls have blanketed the Country (or 1/2 of it anyway … Schmoe is warm and cozy I’m sure..LOL). Here in Va. the wind is also gusting at 50 + mph! Now we’re really talking cold! Nothing good comes from temps like this … well nothing except for the “ski bunnies”… Have ...

Ok, last night; I mentioned that I have been “elevated” to a new level of “blogdom” but, I’m not real sure if I’ve been elevated or drop kicked! You see, I have now joined the company of the likes of Dave Statter. In many of his previous posts, and as early as in his December 10th “Quick Takes”  Dave has mentioned ...

Geesh I'm beat! Long day today folks so I think all I'll be able to muster up is a "quickie".

I just got a call from a buddy who is down in Florida. The Temp is in the upper 60’s and he’s walking the beach in shorts. Another good friend, Captain Joe Schmoe; over at Report on Conditions titled his last post  “Heat Wave.  The temp there yesterday was 78. He even has pics but he’s NOT gloating. Grrrrrrrrrrr! It’s ...
