* There is a new fire blog that just started up that we are going to be watching. It’s called A Firefighter’s Own Worst Enemy and is being published by a fire marshal in the Mid-West. It focuses on training aspects related to inspections and pre-planning, to start with. Check out his first posting HERE.
* STATter911 has collated an extensive supply of videos and more reports on those twin Family Dollar store fires in Rochester yesterday HERE. Be sure to scroll down to the next story about the strange Search & Rescue practices of a New Zealand FD that left a woman in a burning building because they presumed she was dead (she wasn’t).
* FireNews.net has an interesting story from Winston-Salem about the consequences from the city’s change to a more aggressive commercial inspection program HERE. Needless to say, the business owners like the “old way” better where they didn’t have to comply with the codes.
* Medic999 proudly announces that the joint venture with Happy Medic known as the Chronicles of EMS has passed the 2,000-fan mark on their Facebook fan page. Read about it and what they’re up to HERE.
* Don’t forget that the best way to scan the top fire and ems blogs each day (after you first check Firegeezer, of course) is to click onto the FireEMS Blogs community website where you have direct links to the best blogs along with summaries of what the latest topics are. There are also links to leading forums and regional news sites. So CLICK HERE and get acquainted with the layout and see the benefits of launching your web visit there.
