Fire protection!
Buckets will always work. No tech failures here.
So is that concrete box considered a “standpipe”?
No matter where you are, safety first!
Bucket brigade?

Looks the same but
Bay floors look the same. Station looks the same.
I’m sure Truck checks are all the same too right?!?
Popped in to Sharonville Fire
Great to pop in to see the pros at Sharonville Fire (Ohio).
Also oogling their new ladder truck too (Old midship mount tower ladder to new rear mount stick). They even went with a black stick. So chic!
As usual, they left me and went running out to save someone’s life. #awesome
Excited for their upcoming crisis communications class in December.
This kind of parking is unacceptable #Chicago #Fire #Police
One thing that bothers me is idiots who park in front of a hydrant.
Not like 30-seconds, but more like hours and hours and hours.
THIS IS A BLATANT DISREGARD FOR SAFETY!
So I called my friends at Chicago Fire Engine-35, Truck-28, Ambulance-62, Battalion-17 who advised that I call Chicago Police and inform them.
So I did. Chicago Police promptly showed up and ticketed the car. #booya
Hey Jagoff – enjoy your $150 ticket #0964100A (Within 15′ of fire hydrant).
Then a tow truck (hook) showed up and made my night because….
…I now have full hydrant access again.
Hey Jagoff! Now enjoy your $150 charge for towing your vehicle and $20 storage fee.
Expensive night out for your blatant disregard of public safety. Hope it was worth it.
Friendly reminder to anyone: Don’t park in front of fire hydrants. Ever.
HFD LODD funeral procession for FF Rigsbee
My heartfelt prayers for all involved in Honolulu Fire Department’s LODD from Station-7. Rest easy Brother Clifford Rigsbee.
Large header in Columbus #fire
Made a pit stop in Columbus today, and walked out to a header. Upon closer look…
I followed Truck-2 in.
Smelled different than a normal work.
All the foncy trucks attended. But sadly, it was only mulch. Basically large open burning.
Oh well.
But hey, at least the sun was out.
Spending my Sunday alongside @nbc4i , I’m @rusnivek –
Reporting live from the working mulch fire…
Weekend training with Andover Fire and @JumpSeatViews
I had a great time this weekend hanging with the crews from Andover Fire.
Special thanks to Alicen and Chief Robbie Vickery for the invite.
Also, glad to finally meet Charleston Fire (WV) Firefighter Ryan Pennington – most famous by his Hoarders House classes #JumpseatNation .
Ryan has a different perspective on fire and technology – all kinds of stuff you should hear.
Glad to see the lads from Rome Fire too. Too bad no Fred.
I know I know – it’s the weekend. But more training never hurt anyone.
Train like you fight peeps!
Fill er up please! #NatlPrep #power
This week has been chock full of preparedness tips for power outages.
I know each of you have been working hard at preparing your kits, double checking and updating your supplies. Today’s tip addresses your ride (aka your whip):
Keep your car gas tank at least half full. Gas stations rely on electricity to power their pumps. You’ll also have a good method for charging devices in an emergency or, if necessary, moving to a location with power.
To bring a smile to your Saturday, here’s a quick video for you
Keep your tanks filled…and sing loud and proud!
Don’t wait. Communicate. Make your emergency plan today.
Knowledge is power…so share your power safety tips with everyone.
Filler up and be ready by starting here!
Special visitors checking on our preparedness! #NatlPrep #Prepared2014
It is Tuesday and the final day of 2014 National Preparedness Month.
“Be Disaster Aware, Take Action to Prepare”
National Preparedness Day!!!!
This week’s theme is consistent with FEMA’s National Preparedness Campaign: Practice for an emergency
#30: Flat Stanley & Flat Stella stopped by the fire station to check out our emergency preparedness kits. #NatlPrep #Prepared2014
In honor of National Preparedness Day, we had two special visitors at our fire station. Flat Stanley and Flat Stella stopped by for a quick visit and tour.
They wanted to see if all Firefighters and Paramedics were participating and prepared as part of September’s 2014 National Preparedness Month which was held all month long.
Both Flat Stanley and Flat Stella checked our Emergency Preparedness Kit in Ladder-11.
Flat Stanley asked if we had enough water ready…
Of course we do!
Flat Stella asked to see our emergency contact list as well as my new smoke detector.
As you can see, our emergency contact information is contained in the Vial of Life Program. And smoke detectors are always free from the fire department.
Flat Stanley made sure these were fresh fire extinguishers and they were ready to go.
Both had an awesome chance to take a ride in BFD Ladder-11.
Special thanks to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Ready.Gov program.
Also thanks to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), FEMA’s Ready.Gov, Ohio Department of Public Safety (ODPS), Ohio Emergency Management Agency (OEMA), and the Trumbull County Emergency Management Agency.
What a month! I’m proud of everyone who participated in National Preparedness Month and extremely happy that everyone is more prepared for any emergency or disaster.
