The American Flag flying from a New York Hook and then the words that encompass everything I stand for ... TRADITION, PRIDE HONOR AND RESPECT .... BROTHERHOOD!

Doing "The Right Thing" isn't about me. It's not about making myself look better in the eyes of someone who may or may not even have a clue about "The Right Thing". It's not about impressing someone. It shouldn't be for you either. If it is ... then maybe you're missing the mark. Maybe you're NOT "Doing The Right Thing" after all. Maybe you're in the wrong place.

Who’s going to FDIC this year? The Fire Critic, Firefighter Wife, Model City Firefighter and I will be there and have we got the ticket for you!!!   Yea, FDIC is all about learning and you wont find better classes or instructors anywhere else. What’s even better is that, once again; on Friday night we’re giving you the perfect chance ...

Here's another thing today's "deflated ball" rants / debates have totally missed.... the "condition" or cleanliness of the balls.

The video and song is by Kevin Davidson . Kevin is a Volunteer Firefighter for Greenwich VFD in Kings County Nova Scotia. He is also a paid Paramedic for EHS in Nova Scotia.

Andrew "gets it". Tradition, Pride, Honor, Respect and the Brotherhood can be found in each article he posts.

So what are your thoughts? Is it the Chiefs who control"the strings" or is it City / County Administration (the politicians )? Is the old saying about the "poop" running down hill true or do we .... the "boots on the street" also have a say in the direction a Department takes?

Take Randy's new Department for example.... in my opinion ... just like others all across the Country (paid and volunteer); single member staffing and POV response is a gamble. IT'S A GAMBLE WITH FIREFIGHTER'S LIVES!

This was not an accident. It wasn't a car wreck or an act of violence by someone else's hand. This wasn't a stranger I was looking at ... it was my brother laying there ... it was JACKSON and I knew what I was seeing. He was dead. What I didn't know was why.

As always, THANKS for supporting both The Fire Critic and Ironfiremen.com We hope we're meeting your expectations and providing the news, training, entertainment and satire you've come to expect and enjoy from our sites. Look for us to continue our commitment to "giving back" in 2015 .... we have several plans in the making and look forward to making it our BIGGEST and BEST year yet .... we hope to see you there!
