At 9:05am on January 18, 2009, FETC said…: Ben made a mention that you used some video to show how we must learn from past and recent events in the fire service. He made a comment like it hit home... and drove home the point of better risk management?

At 8:17am on January 14, 2009, FETC said…: Ben, made a comment on another thread about the videos from old and new with the construction concerns. I would like to know which ones you used, and we are currently (at my job) working on a presentation for shift training on lightweight construction concerns, osb/glue-lam beams and truss roof, etc. I am now looking at incident video to bring it closer to home.

Excellent presentation in Columbia on Saturday. It was immensely educational, interesting, and more than a little entertaining.

Thanks for the quality time, brother!

I have dressed up my pictures, videos, and audio on my page on FFN. There are a lot of comedic clips and even some fire/rescue clips. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it!

At 10:10am on December 21, 2008, Trainer said…: Thanks Chris, I do what I can. It’s funny, and I seen it posted the other day, were the in-between generation, and it got me to thinking. I learned from the old-timers and today we are teaching the adrenaline junkies, maybe the old-timers thought we were to, but anyways it’s hard to slow down and look at the big picture. We don’t have a lot of structure fires, so with scenarios like this it keeps the mind working. Down our way! Visiting or just driving through on I-80. Keep it up.

Just wanted to say Hi. I am about to go back to school and get a Master's in FPE. Need to take a few Mechanical Engineering courses first. Been twenty years since I have been in school. A little nervous but can't wait. I have applied to WPI on-line program. Might be looking you up if I need help with my studies.

At 10:01pm on November 27, 2008, john hall said…: Chris, Thanks for all the great posts, we use your scenerios at work to roundtable all the time. Thanks

At 1:11pm on November 7, 2008, Jessie Miller said…: Hello Chris! It's nice to meet you. Thank you for everything you do in trying to educate and keep those in the fire service safe from harm! Keep up the good work! Be safe!

At 3:45pm on November 3, 2008, Engineco913 said…: Christopher,

Your posts about fire scenerios have been amazing. It is amazing to see the differing methods of firefighting some of the contirbutors would use and then having others be able to assist them in areas that wouldn't work, or would be unsafe.
Your truck company operations post is a good post, yet there is no "response" area for posters to respond. I am a little baffled by that one and look forward to the responses that will come out of it.

At 11:32am on September 28, 2008, Mick Mayers said…: The scenario post you added is more of what the people on this netwrok need and less of "What Lights are U Runnin on your POV?" It's nice to see this kind of contribution.

By the way, I've read a good deal of your works (we were both contributing for Firehouse for a while there) and you have some very good points (especially the stuff in the US&R field). Anyway, as a fellow author, I know the feedback is always appreciated, so thanks for what you do. Stay safe.

At 12:21pm on September 4, 2008, Firedog said…: Chris , How is it going I hope its been slow for you we are trying to finish up our Evac shelters ansd get back to a normal life.I have a question for you.
On 5"hose does anyone use hose clamps anymore or should I say is a hose clamp used on this large diameter hose at all? The local VFD I try to help out has this huge hose clamp and in San antonio we just lay and the pump operator radios to hydrany man when to charge the line.I have been an Engine officer for some time now and I thought those things were for the history books? thanks
