It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas #ICS
Who’s excited for ICS-400?!?
Guess who is going back to Kentucky
Guess who’s going to be back in Kentucky next week…
Hope to see you at the Metcalf County Emergency Management Agency.
Be there!
Active shooter? RUN. HIDE. FIGHT.
Here’s a quick video from the City of Houston (TX) ReadyHouston team on surviving an active shooter event.

December final classes and special detail for big CLE event
After a decent November, December looks to close out the year with a few classes and one big event planned.
In the first week, I’ll be doing a few local classes in Ohio so Region-5 baby!
Second week, I’ll be headed back to Kentucky for some Emergency Management training! Back in Region-4!
The first part of the third week, I have a few classes in Michigan (back in Region-5 baby!). Last half of the week, I’ve been assigned a special CPD detail for an extraordinary Make-A-Wish Foundation event. With so much bad news lately, I can’t wait for this huge event as it will be very special for all of NE Ohio.
And during the fourth and fifth week of December, I will likely head back to Illinois and HQ to close out class schedules and logistics for the year.
Peeking into 2016, I’m dreading January’s five different region schedule.

Because the house isn’t on fire #DFT2015
So here’s a recap of my deep fried turkey ordeal in 2015
Oil splashing is VERY real. I measured several times the fill rates with water, and we still have spillage. As you can see, the hazard is real and there is no room for error.
The overfill could have caught fire and ignited a gigantic fire ball.
Luckily, I took all precautions and things turned out great. Turnout gear and fire gloves – MANDATORY!
Birds all vary in size and no matter how many times you’ve done this before, you can never be too safe.
Gobble gobble
So what did we learn?
Plan for fire. Wear more than just shorts and flip flops. Boots, nomex everything!
Plan to be outdoors the whole time and never do it indoors. 
Hazards are real and you could explode and catch fire.
Use pure peanut oil to allow for the highest smoke point. Do NOT use olive oil.
Peanut oil actually expires so please check your expiration dates on the peanut oil package.
Measure your oil level first with water before you start frying. Use a catch bin like this seafood basket to better handle your bird and increase your chance of NOT dropping bird and splashing molten hot oil on everyone.
Just like El Guapo, make sure you have a plethora of fire extinguishers around.
Do it on concrete.
Have some aerial ops going on to help document your work.
Take photos while frying. (skillz)
Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Glad I’m not dead or caught the house on fire.
Whew.
