Detroit Stays Busy, The Voice of Reason, EMS Week, Paul Combs, and Budget Cuts

1 comment

Firefighter Netcast is live tonight introducing “The Voice of Reason”. The new show is hosted by Art Goodrich and produced by the crew at Firefighter Netcast. Tune in and see what all the hoopla is about! (link)

Firefighter Netcast has continued to rock the Fire Service world by offering live netcasts and podcasts that matter. The revolution and move to online audio is real and they do it better than many of the industry leaders! So what if my view is a little biased, I am merely pointing out what many are saying!

Another great audio show of note is coming back! Burnin it Down, produced by Chris David over at The Bravest Online has stated that he will be bringing the show back online. We do not have a secure date yet though.

The Fire PIO has an excellent video. In my own words, it explains why if you don’t think Social Media matters you should get your head out of your ass! (link)

If you haven’t seen it yet, you are missing it… Dave Statter has excellent footage of two houses off in Detroit. The total was 7 houses in an hour set by 5 teenagers who confessed. The two videos in this post offer proof of great firefighters up in Detroit! (link)

Chief Billy Goldfeder has a very unfortunate story of how idiotic some people can be when it comes to funding. Apparently libraries are more important than the public’s safety….This is definitely a FAIL for Westport! (link)

Life Under the Lights has an excellent series of posts for EMS Week. (link)

Unfortunately, I missed any and all coverage of the live meetups last night for EMS Week. When I say I missed it, I was not able to go and I also thought it was tonight. If you made it, send some pics and I will run them. Links are also welcome!

If you have not seen Paul Comb’s blog over at FireEngineering.com you should! Paul is amazing with his illustrations. In truth, he writes an entire story with one still illustration. The points he makes are worthwhile and stimulate conversation! Check out his blog here.

Top Ten Best/Funniest Firefighter Dance Videos

2 comments

You might remember me posting a video of Firefighters dancing to Poker Face by Lady GaGa back in August of 2009. The video was removed from Youtube, but then I found it again and added it back to the page. I have now taken the time to pick out some of the best firefighter dance videos.

Fire Daily posted one of the videos here (360 Burn Size-up of the Fire Web 3/2/2010) as I had hit on it a while back here.

Eyes on the Blog World

No comments

cropThink of this as a view of the blog world according to the Fire Critic. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, it is my version of the FireGeezer’s Around The Fire Web…only different. Deal with it! This will probably be a normal column with an intermittent schedule. Don’t plan on seeing it the same time every week.

Here is today’s rundown:

The online education blog has a list of 26 iphone/itouch apps for EMS personnel. Sorry guys, there are no Fire related applications here. However, if you need to quickly come up with the proper dopamine drip rate for infusion you are in the right place. Eat your heart out Happy Medic

Speaking of the Happy Medic, he is still gabbing like a school girl about the meetup with UK Medic blogger Medic 999. I would be too if it meant traveling across the pond though. How’s about another shrimp on the barbie? Oh yeah, and he finally got a hold of thehappymedic.com and happymedic.com.

Fire Daily has a story about “Da Chief”, something that is becoming fewer and farther between these days. Especially some of the top Chiefs who move from department to department saving the world one resume notch at a time.

FireGeezer is still dishing up with great news stories from around the World that you would probably never come across if it weren’t for them. How do they see it all? My guess is glasses….love ya mean it!

Every day you get an EMS tip and maybe even some other tips at EverydayEMSTips.com….Every Day.

I think that FireFighterHourly.com is explaining patients to sue departments in order to change policy and remove those in charge of said policies….or something like that.

Legeros is…well….he is Legeros. Need I say more. He has some great posts going on his very popular Raleigh/Wake Firefighting Blog.

If you want a great example of a single fire station’s blog you have got to check out Roanoke City’s Fire Station 9 blog! This shit is funny as hell, with some serious moments occasionally!

TheHouseWatch.com is always good for some great strategic and tactical articles by Ray McCormack. The latest talks about having too much hose.

Speaking of having too much hose…STATter911 has a GREAT story of a guy who dreamt of having more hose. The hell with those pills, he decided to hang a dumbbell weight fastener on his hose. It took firefighters two hours to free willy. Trust me, Statter can’t make this shit up.
