In my blog at Firehouse Zen today: I mentioned a great homily by Father Chris where he spoke about getting the message out (you know, THE Message). I specifically discussed one of his points about how, when someone in today’s society doesn’t agree with you, the expectation is that they have a “right” to be offended.
There are a lot of people who should pretty much lighten up about some things, but it seems to me there’s a few people who should also lighten up and get with the program about things like firefighter safety, or more accurately, accountability, use of IMS, and not sending people in to fight fires in “lost causes”.

Come and check out the discussion on the subject of being open minded at Firehouse Zen.

ZenMaster:
You have my thoughts at your official blog site.
Suffice it to say I agree with you.
Thinkers like us are still the exception and not the rule, dammit, but I mean that in a holistic way.

I am completely offended that anyone would be bothered by the desire of professional to want to make and keep ourselves and our public safe from stupidity and incompetence . Be safe , trained , fit and balanced.

Okay, just because I can't help myself, less we forget our perpetual responsibility to the public, our departments, our families, our fellow crew members and, of course, ourselves, to STAY FIT!!!!!!!!
