Around the Fire Web

Comments Off

*  STATter911 has too many good items to just mention one.  So I recommend that you head to the homepage HERE and dive right into the Quick Takes.  I liked the story about the man who lived through the house fire after the FF’s were ordered out of the building because it wasn’t “safe.”

*  Firefighter Nation has a story on a challenging rescue in Alabama where a teen fell into an agricultural double-shaft auger.  They quote:  Both of his legs were entrapped to his knees and wrapped in opposite directions around the two auger blades.  Read the entire STORY.

*  One of VAFireNews’ features is the listings of new apparatus deliveries to Virginia departments.  Firetruck historian Mike Sanders does a good job keeping the listings coming, including a recent one about a huge haz-mat/rescue squad truck for Augusta County HERE.

* The Happy Medic loves lists, and we love to read them.   This week he’s listing the ten items that every firehouse needs, but so few have.  Check them out HERE.
