Fire suppression within structures that present with hoarding conditions offer unique challenges, such as obstructed entry/exits, falling objects, and excessive live loads that can lead to collapse.  Captain Brent Williams reviews the hazards and considerations for IC’s and FFs.

Hoseless nozzle technology offers the tremendous capability to deploy farther, faster-no staging necessary!!!  Coming soon: tubeless nasal cannulas! But really, Part II of our nozzle series focuses on the constant flow/”fog” nozzle. What a great day to get out and flow water!

Last weekend, @TowsonU honored PMFC Shari Peterson, PM Seantaye Thomas, PM Amanda Iman & PM Nakeesha Wormley - #WomensHistoryMonth - at its Hometown Heroes game vs. Drexel. All personnel who participated had a great day watching lacrosse & talking to fans about Fire & EMS. EA

“The most valuable lifesaving tactic at a fire is to put out the fire”.  The effective application of water depends largely upon the knowledge and experience of the officer and nozzle firefighter.  Understanding the nozzle is implicit with the fire attack. #knowyournozzle

Are you a woman interested in a career in Fire or EMS? Perhaps you've always dreamed of this career. Perhaps you wonder if you have what it takes to thrive in a historically male-dominated field. @ChiefJoanneRund has some advice for you. https://t.co/zfdVLMNUeB
