Around The Fire Web
* STATter911 has an interesting video amongst his daily collection. It’s a little off-topic, but fascinating as all get out. It is a time-lapse surveillance camera of an urban waterway in Japan as a flash flood comes through. You can see it HERE and then scroll on down and catch the structure fire at the Choo Choo Barn.
* The Housewatch has a good essay posted about a better way to justify your staffing needs when the politicians try to cut the FD so that they don’t have to cut the pork. He’s got a good proposal, so take your time and read it carefully HERE.
* I keep reminding you to keep up with the western wildfire news by checking in with FirefighterBlog HERE and WildfireToday HERE.
Capt. Mike at FirefighterBlog is reporting directly from the Telegraph fire and has some terrific photos and satellite maps. He also has a link to the Incident Scanner where you can listen to the radio traffic. Scroll down a ways to get to it. He’s posting heavily these days.
Bill Gabbert of WildfireToday is reporting today on fires in Wyoming and Montana.
* VAFireNews has some fresh articles and hot shots on recent fires in the Old Dominion HERE.
* Mike Legeros of Raleigh/Wake Firefighting Blog was in Baltimore for the Expo and while he was there he started a photo project capturing former Balto. firehouses that are now used by other occupancies. He’s off to a good start and you can check it out HERE.
