Firegeezer Makes the Cut !

WE ARE PLEASED AND FLATTERED TO PASS ALONG THE NEWS that Firegeezer was chosen to be one of the ten finalists in the Fire/EMS Blog of the Year 2009 contest.

We have been passing along to you the announcements for the nominating process that closed yesterday afternoon, and early this morning we were informed that we “made the cut” and are in the running for the title of the year’s best. But the competition is tough, and I have no doubt that the other nine finalists are just as good, and in most cases better, than our own website. You’ll have to agree with me when you look down the list of ten finalists posted in alphabetical order:

The EMT Spot - TheEMTSpot.com
Engine 9 RFD – EngineCompany9.Blogspot.com
Everyday EMS Tips – EverydayEMSTips.com
Fire Daily – FireDaily.com
Firehouse Zen – FirehouseZen.com
FireGeezer – FireGeezer.com
The Happy Medic – HappyMedic.com
Medic 999 – 999Medic.com
Rescuing Providence – RescuingProvidence.com
STATter 911 – Statter911.com

There are some terrific choices there, aren’t there? One of the main objectives of a contest like this is to acquaint you with some blogs that you may have never read before and here is a good list for you to browse through. I have to admit, there are a couple of sites that are new to me, too.

If you want to review the rules of the contest and the criteria used to select the finalists, CLICK HERE to read them.

If you’re ready to start voting, you can CLICK HERE to fill out your ballot. An interesting feature is they are allowing you to “stuff the ballot box” by voting several times. That way you can vote for more than one entry too, if you have two or three favorites that you’d like to favor. But you can only vote once every 8 hours, so be responsible.

Voting is open for about seven days and will close at 6 pm Eastern time on Tuesday, January 12. So check out the rules, then go to the e-ballot page and vote early and often.
