* Maybe you recall (and maybe you don’t) our posting back in February HERE about Jeff “Matches” Boyle, the well-connected Chicago firefighter who got a merit promotion while he was out setting about 20 arsons around town. After serving a small part of his time in the slammer, he sued the city to get his pension restored. STATter911 has caught the recent court decision handed down by a well-connected judge HERE. And while you’re there, scroll down a little more and read the update on the Haverhill power-hungry fire chief’s decision to withold the flu shots from his FF’s.
* There’s a new addition to the FireEMS Blogs network that we think you’ll enjoy. It’s called Raising Ladders and is a running commentary from a probationary firefighter recording his thoughts and experiences as he works to complete his probationer’s assignments. Well written with a sly bit of humor inserted. Check it out HERE and see what you think.
* In case you missed it earlier, SConFire has a new name and web address. They are now SCFireWire and the new address is http://www.scfirewire.com/ so make sure your Favorites list is updated. Same good quality coverage of everything related to South Carolina fire and EMS news, but with a new look, too.
* Wildfire Today has a story about a firefighter who built his resume using forged documents and training certifiicates. His day in court came up and WT has the story HERE.
