Welcome to the Firefighter Nation. In addition to the relatively cool videos and fire scene photos, there are numerous groups, discussions and chat available.

If you have never had the opportunity, take a minute to explore firefighterclosecalls.com and the secret list. This is a wonderful web site to explore and learn from the mistakes of others. It is also, sadly, a roll call of those whom have made the ultimate sacrifice, in their service to their communities.

We have all joined the Public Safety Community for a variety of our personal reasons. Some of us are paid, while others volunteer. Many are firefighters, while others enjoy the EMS side of the house. We have active firefighters, line officers, chiefs, administrative officers, and a number of old timers who have seen most of the mistakes already made at least once. We have firefighters with many many years of experience, and others that, well, don’t. All are welcome here in The Nation. We welcome your input, just as we hope that you learn from the experiences of others.

Personally, I have 31 years service to the local fire department. I have held most line officer positions, and some administrative as well. Now part of the Old Guard so to speak, I am less inclined to go charging into where others are trying to escape. Instead, I choose to monitor the fire scene closely, attempting to ensure the safety of all on the fire scene.

I welcome you to the FFN. Here we all share one common goal.....

Everyone Goes Home

(Nice to see someone else local join the Nation!)

Hell, Cat, I don't know anymore. I always sensed there was something different about him, but I didn't think it was this. And the fact that the houses were occupied at the time -- what was he thinking? What would've happened if the smoke would've knocked them unconscious before they could call? If it was late and the town was asleep, who would've called? I just thank the good Lord that he's only looking at arson now instead of homicide. Take care, babe!

Happy Thanksgiving, Cath!!! Hope you and yours have a safe and happy holiday!! And if you're going out tomorrow, be careful! Black Friday shopping is more dangerous than a 5-alarm warehouse fire. Them old women are ruthless with their canes.
