While many hard-working Americans were busy trying to eek out a living and saving towards their retirement, our elected officials were busy stealing our America’s dream. Hope for a better tomorrow was fading as each new bill was passed in the dead of night and contrary to the majority of public opinion.
You realize that the mess that this country is in is our own damned fault; right?
Of course, I would expect many to disagree because we…

I had the pleasure of visiting with some outstanding firefighters at the "75th" Southern Wisconsin Northern Illinois Fire Rescue Association fire school in Monroe Wisconsin this weekend. The conference was very attended with a great program with a real local focus. The school started 75 years ago and for several years it rotated from city to city and eventually found its home in Monroe. The Monroe folks have some outstanding facilities and an incredible FD with exceptional leadership the…

Humor is a powerful drug! We use it on a daily basis without even knowing it, and it's a medicine with healing and regenerative effects. At times, the things we talk and joke about in the fire service would seem crass and inappropriate to the general public, but it performs the job of defusing stressful situations in a way that can't…

If you haven't heard yet, one of the best Brothers and instructors in our Fire Service, recently retired from 32 years with the FDNY. No doubt Chief Salka is far from done with his instructing and providing leadership to us by any means. It just means he will hopefully have more time with his family at home and us around the country.
Please join me in congratulating him for his service, dedication and all he has done and does for our profession in keeping our Brothers and…
