1) Simple but important tip from retired San Francisco Assistant Chief Tom Siragusa: Pay attention. Listen to what the Officers are talking about. Read the station journal. Notice where lines were stretched & ladders were thrown.
1) Poignant story told by retired San Francisco FD Assistant Chief Tom Siragusa about a fatal fire he had and the effect it had on him. He says when you come to work, you've got to be ready ... you've have to be on your game. Be prepared as you can be. Take the job seriously.
2) Know what's going on with fires in other parts of the country. Oh, and stay off your phone so you can better pay attention. From the Gettin' Salty Experience podcast, Episode 136. @saltydogapparel

1) A nice story (in two parts) here from retired FDNY Lt. Bob "Rocky" LaRocco about FDNY Capt. Ray Downey (R.I.P.) and his "leather lungs", plus his preference for sugar in the spaghetti sauce.
The FDNY urges New Yorkers to be cautious when using devices powered by lithium-ion batteries. Do not leave batteries charging unattended or overnight when you’re sleeping. Do not leave them in hallways, doorways, or exits. Do not use power or extension cords to charge.
