  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 ...

Ok, to begin with; tomorrow is going to be a busy day. The morning will be anyway. Tomorrow is our annual “vacation sign up day”. In the firehouse, we sign up for our “vacation” and “holidays” a year in advance. Time to clean the ol desk off and figure out the days we need… Here in the City, sign ups ...

Yea.. it’s the snow ! Something about it … I love it. Puts me in the Christmas and somewhat of a little romantic mood. I may saddle up the horses for a nice romantic ride. Better yet, I may borrow the neighbors sleigh… hummmmm wonder how that would turn out??? LMAO I love that video. I’ll be back in just ...

We’re getting our 1st snow of the year here in Va. Now, it’s nothing compared to what our Brothers and Sisters up in Buffalo area are getting but hey, it’s snow… The snow has me feeling the spirit of Christams so I wanted to share a couple of videos with ya. I have been wanting to post on the first ...

As usual, some of the posted stories on the house fire in Roanoke on Monday morning are not entirely acurate. I’ll try to set the story straight and throw in a few more pics. Rhett posted a nice piece over on the Fire Critic , unfortunately; some of his facts were off (imagine that Statter). Here’s the video again…   We (Engine ...

I’ve been calling my new house “lucky 13” and her name held true again yesterday. We should have been the “working fire” engine but instead was the 1st to roll in. An 81 year old man, who usually needs a wheel chair or walker to get around; was alerted by smoke detectors and escaped without injury. I posted the local ...

Who loves ya guys??? IronFiremen.com … that’s who! Yea, I know how you firemen are so I figured I had better remind you of the Victoria’s Secretions TV special coming up on Tuesday night at 10pm (EST) on CBS. I even put a “countdown” to the show over on the right side bar. Here’s a decent video as well …. ...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know I did. The Buckaroo, the girls and I spent the day at my Dad’s house for a very relaxing and belly busting Thanksgiving meal. Pop cooked a 25lb turkey and it turned out PERFECT. The only thing better than the food was spending the day with family. Now, my family is ...

I’m getting old! Well, I’m not so sure 41 is old but at minimum, I’m worn out. As young privates at #5, Scotty (Scott Mutter) and I wanted to, could and did run all night. Back then, we were busy. We caught a lot of work but also wound just as many street boxes (I even had the nick name ...

I’m guilty!   Guilty again. I guess I just have too much spare time on my hands and always end up picking on my “little buddy” Rhett from over on FireCritic. The sad thing is that 1.) he’s easy and 2.) I always have help.  Yea… it’s easy to get Dave Statter in on the fun when Rhett is involved. I posted a “Face ...
