Comment by Firewriter on January 28, 2011 at 12:14pm: I think at this point, south of the Equator may be our only hope! :D

Comment by Elizabeth Christian on January 28, 2011 at 10:57am: Good morning from Texas! Finally warming up here too ... for now. Almost 70 today, 71 tomorrow, then a 20° drop & from what I hear, "wintery precipitation" Tuesday. I moved south to get away from this cold stuff. :)

Chief France uses a lot of material from my favorite illustrator, Paul Coombs. Here is one that I think all Safety Officers should have posted where THEY can see it. Some SOs are too easily convinced to not push things in order to, "keep the peace". Our job is not too keep the peace, or take it easy. Our job is to make sure everyone goes home.

Have a great day; stay safe!

Comment by Firefighter Walther on January 27, 2011 at 5:54pm: Thanks for the invite chief, you can never have to much safety!

Comment by Vincent Webster on January 27, 2011 at 5:46pm: Thanks Chief for the invite. Hope we can say or teach something here that will eventually keep someone from getting hurt or worse.

Comment by Linda Blaisdell on January 27, 2011 at 5:17pm: Thanks Chief for inviting me to join & I graciously accept. It is truly an honor, sir.

Comment by Elizabeth Christian on January 27, 2011 at 4:13pm: Thank you for the invite. :)

Comment by Michael Meadows on January 27, 2011 at 3:30pm: Thanks for the invite Chief, I look forward to learning from this and your other groups that you have started. Well, maybe not the lighter side group, but I look forward from learing from the rest of them!
