Rhett Fleitz, the publisher of VAFireNews.com, is a list-builder. Along with the three or four websites that he hosts, he maintains listings for the rest of us to take advantage of. He pioneered the online listing of all IAFF Locals that have websites and two years ago he compiled a page of links to as many fire/rescue-related blogs as he could find.
One of his more valuable listings is the carefully maintained Virginia Fire/EMS Jobs page that keeps a current posting of all job openings along with pay scales, etc. Now that Twitter has flittered into the center of the online scene, you can bet that Rhett won’t be far behind. And sure enough, he’s here with a growing list of fire and rescue Tweeters that allows you to search for Tweets to Follow. You get started by going to the PAGE HERE. There you’ll find an expanding list of fire/EMS Twitter users along with their webpage links (if they have one). You can look through and pick out any that you’d like to follow. If YOU have a Twitter account and you would like to be added to the list, then enter it by using the Comments feature and Rhett will paste you into the list.
It’ll be interesting to see how he categorizes this one when it gets lengthy. I think he’ll also take suggestions if you know of any 3rd-party Twitters that you think should be added to the list.

I wonder if they’ve come out with any Twitter helmet stickers yet? I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised.
I’m running late this morning, so we’d better get this equipment checked out. I definitely need to get some more coffee started. See you later in the day room.
