Around The Fire Web

Comments Off

It’s been several days since we’ve travelled around the Fire Web, so let’s pick out some weekend reading:

*  SConFire has been keeping up with the ALF situation and has several recent links that tell about the bankruptcy activities.  He also covers a spate of hydrant vandalism and the theft of a Hurst tool pump from a fire engine that was parked in a repair shop HERE.

*  FireRescue1 has a STORY about a gas explosion in France that killed one FF and injured 14 others.

*  EMS1 is carrying the STORY about Louisiana’s program to provide portable radios that will link fire, rescue and police agencies statewide.

*  PhillyFireNews always has a terrific collection of current “hot shots” taken at fires around the SE Penna./ New Jersey region.  You should check them out every day just to see the latest HERE.

*  Janet Wilmoth at the Fire Chief Magazine blog has a good commentary on how the “senior-man syndrome” is stifling firefighter safety HERE.

*  The VAFireNews continues to keep up with the latest hot shots and news from around the state of Virginia HERE.

*  Firefighter Blog, who keeps us up-to-date on the wildfire activity around the world, has a posting about  a fire in Argentina that is threatening a forest filled with trees that are hundreds of years old HERE.

*  FirefighterSpot is another one of those sites that you should be checking every day for his excellent FDNY-in-action photos as well as his champion collection of Close Call videos.  Today is no exception, so CLICK HERE and see the latest.

*  California Fire News just posted a huge stack of new articles last night including one about those pesky pine needles at Lake Tahoe.  CLICK HERE and give the site time to download, then check them out.
