My heart goes out to the town, department and families of the 4 washington police officers brutally killed this weekend. Another senseless act of aggression and violence against the innocent by an evil person.<br />
<br />
We may not always get along with our brothers and sisters in Blue but you have to respect them for doing what they do and putting on that uniform everyday.<br />
<br />
May God bless and console the friends and families of these men and woman<br />

After all it's Christmas , lets all plan to see each other on January 1.What is the best way to slow traffic ?tag:my.firefighternation.com,2009-08-23:889755:BlogPost:42381272009-08-23T16:37:24.000ZMark Klaenehttps://my.firefighternation.com/profile/markKlaene
We do a lot of traffic control in our area. We have a major single lane US highway, lots of blind curves and over 6 % grade. One of the first things we do on a scene is set up a safety zone. Sometimes that means stopping traffic but often all we have to do is slow traffic ahead of the accident so the guys around the curve at the scene can direct them around. We carry the requisite vests/wands/signage but often folks still just fly past us. Stopping traffic is easier because we can block the…
We do a lot of traffic control in our area. We have a major single lane US highway, lots of blind curves and over 6 % grade. One of the first things we do on a scene is set up a safety zone. Sometimes that means stopping traffic but often all we have to do is slow traffic ahead of the accident so the guys around the curve at the scene can direct them around. We carry the requisite vests/wands/signage but often folks still just fly past us. Stopping traffic is easier because we can block the lane but that causes other safety issues especially on a single lane .<br />

This is a day and night issue, although night seems worse.<br />

How do you slow traffic ?
