Fire Engineering Features
Don't try to reinvent the wheel, Jim Mason argues in the first installment of his series on fire service leadership. Learn how a knowledge of past incidents can improve your ability to lead on the fireground.
What are you doing to ensure that you and your crew go home every shift? Brian Ward suggests spending some time reviewing free Web resources can give you the knowledge to keep you safe.
Does your department have a plan for what to do if a technological device, like a TIC or your PASS device, fails on the fireground? Send us your replies for possible publication in the print magazine.

Thanks for the comment on my page. I appreciate it. Let me know the dates that you will be in NYC and I will see if I am working or not. If I am working, I am sure it would be no problem to stop by the firehouse.
Thanks
Nate
aca estamos para servirle.
Thanks for the add...
Keep in touch.
Thanks for your reply. Obviously me coming out to photograph your fire department would be completely at my expense, I do not expect any fire department to pay for me to visit.
All I really ask from them is the permission to visit and their permission to stay at the fire station with the fire fighters for the duration of my visit, this is for two reasons;
1... So that I can get to know the fire fighters in a more
personal way and build up a trust and friendship with
them.
2... To maximise the opportunity of being in the right place
at the right time when the emergency calls come in.
With regards to having you come over to England, I am sure something can be arranged to cover the expense of that, we have exchange programs run over here that cover
those kinds of trips.
Please speak with your fire department and see how they feel initially about myself coming out to you to photograph them. I look forward to hearing from you again.
Regards
Sean
Thankyou for your words, I would very like to visit your fire department so anything you can do regards an invitation from your Senior Officers would be appreciated. Likewise I would be very pleased to have you come over to England in return.
I am sure that I could shoot some great pictures of your department and look forward to the opportunity.
Please stay in regular contact, thanks for your comments on my photographs.
Regards
Sean
I am a Specialist Fire Service Photographer and Fire Fighter in England. I am looking at making contact and making friends with fire fighters all over the world with a view to hopefully arranging the opportunity to visit and photograph their fire departments.
I look forward to getting to know you more and to possibly visiting your fire department in Chile.
Regards
Sean
We have created a site for responders run exclusively by responders... It is a place with great fellowship on the good days and solid and confidential support when the "bad call" happens. As a Chaplain of over 25 years we wanted a place that responders could come and receive the support for traumatic events with trained CISM responders and more.
Please join our site and invite your friends, too
