*  FirefighterNation has an unusual story in their Forums section about a contingent of firefighters from Palestine who are traveling to England for some advanced training.  They will take what they learn back to Nablus to train the other 70+  FF’s in their department.  Read it HERE.

*  Wildfire Today is always worth checking, but today Bill has an intriguing story about the country’s first “smokejumper” who passed away this week at age 98.  Earl Cooley and another man, Rufus Robinson, made that first jump back in 1940.  You gotta’ read the story HERE.

*  On Wednesday STATter911 ran THIS STORY about a cretin in Australia who was using the photo of an American FF who was an LODD to illustrate a story about an Australian child molester.  If you missed it, then read it now and then go to today’s posting HERE where Dave tells how the picture was forcibly removed.

*  FireNews.net has a story about a fire in an industrial occupancy that comes complete with some great “hot shots” HERE.
