Today, Lt. Paul Butrim, FF Kelsey Sadler & FF Kenny Lacayo lost their lives in service to our city. FF John McMaster remains in the hospital in critical but stable condition. We will continue to pray for the family of those we lost.

@kdawg17059 Thank you!

[Brian Bastinelli @BrianBastinelli]

@BldgFFDev Agreed. I just don’t get it. What’s the alternative? How are ‘cleaner’ fuel sources guaranteed? Where is it coming from?

[Brian Bastinelli @BrianBastinelli]

Idiots.

[Brian Bastinelli @BrianBastinelli]

@FireMedic40NJ Not sure, they are ‘looking into it’.

Ordered 4 tires, 4 tires were shipped. 4 tires were then delayed for some reason by 4 days. New delivery date set & only 3 tires delivered. 1 tire MIA. 1.5 days b4 leaving for a month long road trip with a tight sched. Been on phone all day! @FedEx is FEDrustrating. @FedExHelp

@FireMedic40NJ Thanks my expectations are low this is not been a great process from the beginning. My gas mileage is probably not going to improve with only three tires. Nor will my Travel time.

@FirstArriving Congratulations on the new gig!

[Brian Bastinelli @BrianBastinelli]

@FireMedic40NJ As far as I am aware of we have only used it in fire operations, not as a self rescue or access. We do our a lot of emphasis on it in our training. Hopefully we won’t have to use it in that way, but hopefully guys will use it in that way if needed.

[Brian Bastinelli @BrianBastinelli]

@FireMedic40NJ Is this what your talking about?

[Brian Bastinelli @BrianBastinelli]

@FireMedic40NJ This is something we do fairly routinely during row house fires. We call them Harrisburg Hallways. We use them to access buildings we can’t access from lower floors due to collapse, and we use them to communicate and move between buildings without having to go outside.

@zdubya11 Thank you!!

Looking for an older style vintage typewriter that I can still get ribbon for, want to use it fir a project. Preferably one of those ones that smashed into the paper leaving an indent.

Any ideas? I know about antique stores etc. Wondering if there are any dealers out there.

Anyone who knows me realizes I might not be the best measuring standard available, however, this is a decent sized knee wall void space.

Take the time to get ‘in to’ your work.

@DaKaise Thank you. Glad you find some value in it!

Over the last year we've been chipping away at creating a new home on the web for Firemanship - A Journal For Firemen and we’re proud to say it’s finally ready to unveil.

We hope you will find value in the website and it's content.
