Around The Fire Web

Comments Off

There’s lots of good reading to catch up on this weekend:

*  If you haven’t seen it yet, then you need to visit STATter911 and view the videos of the wall collapse in San Francisco that came oh-so-close to burying some firefighters.  Excellent video coverage by TV cameramen.  Watch and read about it HERE.

*  Mike Legeros at the Raleigh/Wake Firefighting Blog is always heavy on the history that he finds in his constant research.  Recently he came across the story of an elevator operator who survived a 70-story plunge when an airplane flew into the side of the Empire State Bldg. in 1945.  Read the tale HERE.

*  Texas-Fire has a story on the city of Plano’s seemingly heavy-handed approach to instituting a physical fitness standard on the FF’s HERE.

*  The Happy Medic is thinking about moving on.  He’s applied for the Fire Chief’s position at the Lego Township FD.  He tells us why HERE.
