Chief Houff was the Battalion here on C-shift as well and even though he works for the County, we got to see each other a lot. Not just work either .... Chief Huff stayed by Billy's side everyday of his fight. It was a true testament to BROTHERHOOD.

Blogging is one thing but members all across this Country are honoring these men in the same way.... by getting back on the truck! Police Officers are on duty tonight on the Va. Tech Campus. Brothers of IAFF L-1009 are staffing the rigs in Worcester, Ma. and the Mount Vernon (NY) Fire department stands ready to take in the next call.

It's been a terrible and horrific week for Public Safety. Please continue to keep the Departments, family and friends of our fallen in your thoughts and prayers. Also remember that all across this country, members are pulling a tour.... today, tonight, tomorrow and everyday day / hour after. That's how we honor the fallen ... by putting our boots on, getting back on the rig and doing our job!

I'm sure the Arlington Street fire was a sort of "mini- deja vu" for the people of Worcester Massachusetts because we had something very similar right here in "small town" Virginia today.

2 people are reported dead on the campus of Va. Tech following another shooting incident. There are at least 2 crime scenes being worked while a search for the gunman continues. Va Tech is currently on "lock down" and there are also report of one of the two dead being a police officer (unconfirmed at this time).
