Land Field Fires
For two days now,we had to put out fires from the land field,trash dump.I notice that the workers there does not wear and mask ,i would think they would because of the gasses that come from and land field.
What do you think,the city should tell the workers at the land field how dangeous the gasses could cause them health problems.

Ian Tenney said… - Brenda- thanks for the note. I have no immediate relatives in Ohio (mostly New England). Our branch of the family landed in Rowley, MA in 1638 and I know they spread out west. Try the Tenney Family Association online; they have a ton of resources. You also share a first name with my wife, who is also a career firefighter. Be safe.

- We have an explorer froup here and in the Suburb of Chicago where I started in the fire service. It's a great program. They say the way the first year is for a person in the fire service is the way they will be for the rest of their career. If we get them interested and working hrd they will be like that the rest of theri time. I know it affected me that way. We put up another question the "Common Sense Firefighting " page about roof operations, check it. I look forward to see the FD pictures also.
Take care Jim Mason Chgo FD
