Earlier this month I posted this item:
BILL CAREY, WRITING IN BACKSTEP FIREFIGHTER’S BLOG, WONDERS “Is anyone listening to Ray?” AND SPECULATES ON WHAT THE ANSWER MEANS.
… and I explained how Ray McCormack’s FDIC presentation affected the final edits in the Fire Officer textbook that came out last month. (blog entry HERE).
Stumbled across a 5:25 minute “Brotherhood” video made by k7son of the West Lanham Hills Volunteer Fire Department 28/48 that includes narrative taken from McCormack’s speech:
From their website:
This Video is dedicated to the guys who continue to get the trucks on the street, day in and day out. Guys here use motivation, brotherhood, pride and ownership to help see them through the toughest of times, on and off the job. Also, to the men who built the West Lanham Hills reputation, we will continue to uphold it.
To all the firemen, who value the fire service tradition each and every day, and pass it down to upcoming generations. To our members who are no longer with us, and to all who have given the ultimate sacrifice by losing their lives in the line of duty….you will never be forgotten. Enjoy the movie.
