Let’s start off the long weekend by setting a stack of good postings on the end table:
* Prince George’s County, Maryland, is bungling up its attempt to play “firehouse roulette” and after only two days they’ve got a PR nightmare on their hands. Dave Statter at STATter911 is camped out right in the middle of it and showing the world what’s going on HERE.
* FireRescue1 has an interesting story about a state hospital in New Jersey that is creating a strange upheaval in its fire protection by moving the firefighters from the old firehouse into a hospital building and abandoning the firetrucks that will be left parked outside unused. Bureaucrats never stop screwing things up. Read about it HERE.
* Firefighter Nation has a story about some Ohio politicians “feeling the heat” HERE.
* VA Fire News has an exclusive report on a honey-dipper rollover HERE. We’ll let you supply the punch lines.
* What do you suppose would happen if you went out jogging around midnight wearing all-black clothing and clapped a set of iPod speakers over your ears? Do you think you’d hear the firefighter coming? Do you think he’d see you? Well, one dimwit in Texas learned the answer the hard way and Texas-Fire has the results of the survey HERE.
* Wildfire Today is talking about the move toward re-populating the old fire lookout towers HERE. Now they’re relying on volunteers to do the looking out.
* There have been some truly major incidents over the past few days in North Carolina. Just go to FireNews.net’s homepage HERE and click on the various story links.
