Around the Fire Web

THERE ARE SOME GREAT POSTINGS OUT THERE IN FIRE/EMS BLOG LAND waiting for some weekend viewers.  So let’s get started with a few for a Sunday treat:

*  Wildfire Today has a good story about still another lesson why you shouldn’t trust you life with your portable GPS receiver HERE.  (When will people ever learn?)

*  Dave Statter at STATter911 has been giving full coverage to the mayday event in Modesto, California, on Friday night.  It’s pretty extensive, but worth taking the time to read it, first HERE and then the follow-up HERE.

*  There has been wide coverage of the multi-alarm fatal fire in a Detroit residential hotel (including Firegeezer’s HERE).  There were several ladder rescues involved.  Our friend Scott has directed us to the dispatch radio recording from the call that has been posted on YouTube in two segments, HERE and HERE.

*  Chief Reason has a nice essay on “frugality” that I’m sure you will find entertaining HERE.

*  If you just want to do some browsing, there is no better way than to start out at Fire/EMS Blogs, our “umbrella” site where many of the web’s top blogs are parked and waiting for you to visit.  Part of your day should always include CLICKING HERE to launch into a cruise around the Fire/EMS community to catch up on what’s happening.  All the participating blogs are listed in the left-sidebar boxes (there are three boxes, so keep scrolling) and the center column is a dynamic update resource that continually carries the headlines and links to all articles as they are posted.  Just put http://fireemsblogs.com/ in your Favorites, up near the top, and check frequently.
