"I'm thinking that you could have her buy a bunch of us additional N5A's.   I'd even buy my own Bourkes and front piece.  :-)"

"There are NFPA-compliant Bourkes.  I have a pair on my N5A.   Morning Pride claims to be the only manufacturer of NFPA-compliant Bourkes, but other vendors will probably have some soon if they don't already make them."

Is it just me or do some people not take this job seriously enough?



I am by no means an old hand at this job, but it seems that lately incoming firefighters don't quite seem to realize that our profession is, in fact, a dangerous one. I get that many people join the department for the camaraderie, evenings spent around the bar telling stories, or just to be able to tell a girl in a bar, "hey, I'm a fireman." But I feel that some people join without taking into account the risks… Continue

New Blog

So I've started a new blog on a different site. This isn't a "please read my blog" attempt, but if anyone is terribly interested in the goings on of my life, they can read it there. It's called "Hydraulic Ventilation" and has nothing to do with firefighting. If anything terribly important happens regarding firefighting, rest assured, I will probably post it here.

We were toned out for a possible structure fire at a car dealership. When I heard the dispatcher sign on and blow out all those numbers ("Dispatching Engine 402, 404, 405, Rescue 406, Truck 422") I knew it was going to be something "good" but when he said it was a car dealership I thought to myself "oh...s***." Frankly I am not a fan… Continue
