Providence – The Fire Critic

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout Goes to Rescuing Providence. The blog was just recently moved from blogger to WordPress and given its own url (something I highly recommend).

Lt. Michael Morse, the blogs owner, is also an author. He wrote “Rescuing Providence” and is currently looking for a publisher of his second book. You can purchase Rescuing Providence at Paladin Press.

I have not read his book yet, but I intend to purchase it soon. I haven’t been a long time reader of his blog, but I intend to keep it in my weekly reads.

Michael is currently assigned to Rescue 1 in the City of Providence Rhode Island.

His blog is very well written (I know that kinda comes off like a “But she has a great personality” comment, but it is true. You can tell that he spends time writing his posts and that communicating with the readers comes easy. His writing keeps you wanting to read the next post and the next post and so on.

Take a minute to check out Rescuing Providence.

A little note from the Fire Critic on Monday Morning Shoutouts…I always enjoy looking around at various sites and checking out their links pages. I never know where I will end up. This is usually the process for picking the next MMSO. However, if you have something that you want me to check out shoot me an email or use the contact page. Maybe your site will be next!

I rarely let people know their site is the next MMSO, and I rarely let them know I picked them once I post it. I just let them find it on their own.

Apparently, Harold Schaitberger has the National Right To Work Committee (NRTWC) shaking in their penny loafers. The committee, who is vehemently against the IAFF, has just posted a video to YouTube showing their disdain for Schaitberger, the IAFF, and the recent actions of President Obama. The International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), led by President Harold Schaitberger, asked President Obama and his constituents to NOT cross the picket line in Providence, RI. If you watch the video you will see just how effected the NRTWC is by the IAFF’s efforts.

Wouldn’t it just be easier and make more sense to utilize the IAFF to help you retain firefighters and prove their worth and need? This will help you (the mayor) in cutting unnecessary departments and programs which are nice but unaffordable with the economy the way it is. Think about it, your work is done.

More importantly, the video addresses H.R. 413 is very important to America’s Firefighters. I suggest that you get on the horn to your Representatives today to ask them for support in passing this legislation.

At least, watch the video. They point out some very enlightening things about the IAFF and what they are doing for me. For all of those IAFF members out there who cry “What has the IAFF done for me”, this is for you. Read it, check ou the link to the Providence Picket Line, and read about H.R. 413…least of all watch the video.
