By Chris Mc Loone, Associate Editor With all the cancer research that goes on in the world today and with all the advisories to get screened early because early detection is key, the last thing I expected was an attempt to talk me out of it. I am in my 19th year in the fire service. I’m a volunteer in a company that may reach 500…See More

They were my boys!

FDIC is, of course, well known for it's first class training. If you want to train with the best and be taught by the best, FDIC is where you go. When you think about the de facto standard of fire training, FDIC is what comes to mind first. But one of the offshoots of FDIC is experiencing the camaraderie, and, if you're…See More

Todd Jennings commented on Fire Apparatus & Emergency Equip's blog post Amazing we still have to have this conversation
"This is becoming a very difficult topic.  But it should not be.  All we have to do is buckle up.  It is not that hard.  As the officer on the truck it is your responsibility to make sure that everyone is buckled up.  But…"

"Not to mention that we are also at the top of many departments' replacement cycles. Plus, more calls by adding EMS has accelerated replacement as well and many departments like mine are moving from a 20 year replacement schedule to a 10 year…"

"This is another way to increase safety...   Two words...   SLOW DOWN...   When a fire apparatus exceeds the posted speed limit, or goes out of the normal flow of traffic, the risk goes up exponentially. When the lights go on and the…"

Amazing we still have to have this conversation

Everyone Goes Home just released a new seatbelt PSA. It's already been posted at least once on the Fire Engineering Community site.
