* STATter911 has two items that I’d like to point out. One has to do with an Austin, Texas, lieutenant who left his engine crew sitting and waiting to respond on a medical emergency while he went to a restaurant next door to pick up a food order. He said that he thought it was going to be “a nothing call.” I think he was fired.
The other story is about a co-worker of Dave’s who is collecting donations for her bicycle ride to benefit the DC Firefighters Burn Foundation. This wonderful group takes care of the families of burned firefighters from all departments who are being treated in the Washington Burn Center. There have been nearly a dozen in the past year alone.
Check them both out HERE.
* Wildfire Today is linking to and commenting on the just-released San Diego Grand Jury on the county government’s failure to implement proper fire protection for its citizens. Now there’s a novel concept. Click HERE and read about it.
* FirefighterCloseCalls has a report today on a fire engine rollover in Texas where the pumper rolled 6 times. The driver was belted. Get the full story and related pictures HERE.
* SConFire is talking about the latest mudslinging going on the the Charleston City Council chambers. The mayor is starting to really feel the heat now. Read the STORIES.
