*  Dave Statter has two items at STATter911 that we think you should read today.  One has to do with the quick dismissals of four DeKalb County fire officers along with the sudden resignation of the fire chief HERE.  The other is a complicated story from Pennsylvania that has a fire chief and the assistant chief, who are also father and son, going to jail for duking it out with FF’s from the neighboring company HERE.

*  In case you missed it, last week Firefighter Close Calls had a bulletin HERE about 3 junior members of a Pennsylvania VFD who drowned when their car went into a lake.  The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review has an updated report HERE.  The last of the three teens was buried yesterday.

Firefighters Own Worst Enemy has another “my gosh” photo from an inspection showing where somebody made an electrical junction box out of some chunks of styrofoam HERE.  You should be in the habit now of checking this informative website daily.

Medic999 has an interesting story about the experience and personal reward of bringing somebody back from a sudden cardiac arrest.  It’s a good read, CLICK HERE and check it out.

Wildfire Today is keeping up with the current wildfire situation in Australia. He’s got a couple of articles about American FF’s that are working the lines down there as well as the DC-10 super tanker making its first trip down under.  Just go to the home page HERE and keep scrolling to catch all the stories.
