*  If you read STATter911′s story yesterday about the strange man who tried to pick a fight with the FF’s who were trying to put out a fire in his house, then you’ll want to go back today for the update.  It turns out that the pugilistic fire victim was later arrested for setting the fire.  Not only that, but the video that Dave has on the site is worth viewing as a teaching tool showing the fire spread under the house siding.  He’s added more photos and info., too.  There’s something for everybody, so read it all HERE.

*  Firehouse.com has a good story about a couple of FD’s in Connecticut that donated a pumper and 1,500 ft. of hose to a needy VFD down east in Maine.  Read it HERE.

*  The Fire Critic has just posted The Top Ten Christmas Gifts for Firefighters.  It’s a well-thought-out listing and if you buy nine of the ten suggestions, it will set you back less than $225.  But that 10th one that costs more is really going to be one of the most desired.  Start your letter to Santa by CHECKING HERE first.

*  Fire Daily plucked 5 recent NIOSH reports at random and found nothing suprising…. except that people are ignoring good advice from NIOSH and choosing to continue dying.  Read his take on this situation HERE.
