I think I may be in a “slump”.  Now, I’ve never been the articulate type (yea.. I used a “big” word) but usually, I get my point across. I don’t know why but a lot of the folks I’ve met through this site say they love it because of my style of writing. I write like I talk. I “shoot ...

It's why those folks came up to me and told me someone was still inside .. they knew we'd go get em.

My point here is this ... multiple fires in a single tour in our department, more often than not; has the same members battling both fires. Multiple fires in DC or PG County may not even see the same companies much less the same members.

I’ve followed Hydrant Gal for some time ...

I mentioned a fewpost back that I wanted to follow up on Chris Naum’s show Taking it to the Streets.  Chris has a regular show on Firefighter Netcast and last week’s was The First Due Officer.  I was brought in late and wasn’t really up to speed as to what direction Chris wanted to go. I did know however that ...

ALL ABOARD!   Seems as though everybody is jumping on the Xtranormal“band wagon”.  Those little animated videos are poping up everywhere on the Fire/EMS Blog Network.
