It’s great to share the stories of survivors and employees here at FL / FEMA Disaster Recovery Center in Marathon.
Glad to host WOODTV news crews from Michigan today.

News already onscene
You know it’s going to be a long evening when you get out of your vehicle for the MVA and the news van is already parked, mast up, and streaming live.
Bonus points to the crews because they have their hazard lights on.

Gawking at a beautiful Mack Baker Aerialscope #Fire #Truck
Hold the phone…is that a Mack Baker Aerialscope?
I think I’m in love. Check out those stabilizers!
I would say that this is pretty much pristine condition.
Bonus points for the gold bulldog too! (Note: The company’s trademark is the bulldog. It can be found on the front of almost all Mack trucks. A Mack truck with a gold-plated bulldog indicates that the entire truck is made of Mack components. Trucks with another manufacturer’s transmission, engine, rear axles or suspension are given the chrome-plated bulldog.)
So Chief-when you get your new engine/tanker in, let me know and I’ll be happy to take this off of your hands…you know, make room on your bay floors. I’d also be happy to bring it back anytime you needed it for a parade and stuff too.
Phleeeeeezzzzzeeeee!
Ahem.
Special thanks to Tipp City Fire Chief Steve Kessler and crews – Outstanding job to all of Tipp City Fire Department on preserving a true gem of fire service history.
BTW-here’s their new Ladder that replaced it.
It’s really nice.
An open door response #whoops
The rig is sounding awfully loud tonight…
…those apparatus mechanics really can’t get anything right!
Typical – blame everyone else first.
So, it’s probably a good time to check your doors BEFORE responding to any calls.
EMS Flight crews do it. Maybe a 360 walk around is a good idea.

Statement on Hospital Wing / Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital (TN) crash #LODD
I extend my sympathies for the loss of life in Tennessee following this morning’s Hospital Wing crash in Somerville (Fayette County) Tennessee.
Initial reports show that no patients were onboard the Eurocopter AS350 during flight. Emergency crews on scene have reported 3 deaths including Hospital Wing Pilot Charles Smith, Pedi-Flite Nurse Carrie Barlow and Pedi-Flite Respiratory Therapist Denise Adams.
Local and regional authorities are leading the investigation and recovery as well as providing assistance as needed.
Numerous agencies have been in close contact with the Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital and Hospital Wing flight program and all stand ready to provide assistance as requested.
I encourage everyone to support the fallen flight crew’s families and those who work with them in their time of need.
