Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
Short and sweet update today. If you remember, Willie and I were interviewed for the 100th episode of “Caught on Camera” on MSNBC. It should be airing in the next couple of weeks, but I am not sure exactly. Hopefully we sound like we know what we are talking about!
The Fire Critic Facebook page continues to stay busy with “Questions from a Brother”…I am currently backlogged about a dozen questions. Hopefully I will get to each one of them. Keep track of what is going on by checking out the Fire Critic Facebook Page here.
Firefighter Product Reviews – There are two recent reviews on FireProductReview.com. The site offers you the ability to rate the products as well. You can do it without even logging in! Check out: Ladder Pride by Firehouse Pride and FDCam.com 720p High-Def Helmet Camera. Don’t worry, there are plenty more reviews in the works.
STATter911.com – Dave reminds us why we call his site “Whacker Central” with this video he claims was a Super Bowl Commercial (but no one saw it): The Super Bowl Commercial You Didn’t See: So God Made the Fire Department Engineer”. Don’t waste your time… although there is a cameo by Captain Wines in it (He probably doesn’t know it yet though).
