Around The Fire Web
A weekend wrap-up of some recommended stories:
* After Friday’s fatal fire in a large retirement home, the city of Vallejo is under the spotlight again. Ponderously mismanaged, the city has slashed police and fire protection just before this event. STATter911 is reporting on the politicians’ doing the two-step dodgem dance HERE.
* Firefighter Spot - Best Videos has just posted another batch of photos and videos from the past week, including some exclusives from the Conshohocken fire HERE.
* FireRescue1 has a story about a National Hockey League player using some of his off-season time to volunteer at the local firehouse HERE.
* 12 hours after it started, the 10-alarm fire in the former Robbins mill in Moore County, North Carolina, is still going. The town’s water supply started running low early this afternoon and the 35 FD’s on the scene are using a massive tanker shuttle to supply the master streams. FireNews.net is on the scene with their own photographer and they’ve got some good fire scene photos as well as on-scene reports HERE.
