If anyone is wondering what a tie rod looks like, here is an example. They typically run in void spaces, but this one is unconcealed.

LAC - How do we fix what's broken? How can we improve upon what's working? Looking outside our walls should be part of the solution. Great article clarifying how risk and aggression cohabitate-Stockton FD has an identity, a culture and makes no apologies for being aggressive.

@frankriccidc Buon Natale! But you also need the seven fishes!

@frankriccidc @fireengineering The Fire Service lost a tremendous leader who allowed this small city guy to share, write and teach about his mistakes and fire adventures to the nation’s fire service.

Rest in Peace Chief Halton

Engine 22 was working on highway mva on I-90 near the MLK exit. One of our brothers was struck and tragically killed by a vehicle that went around emergency vehicles. Please keep his family in your prayers. Vehicle is a white Chevy Malibu with front end damage. If seen; call 911

@Kiel_Samsing I gotcha on that and now understand your point.

@Kiel_Samsing Medal Days are for performance above and beyond I collect read and share FDNYs medal day book every year for examples of what our profession means.
The bottom line agree or disagree is NIOSH reports and AARs have a place it’s how you absorb the lessons

“Fingers of smoke.”

Understanding fire and smoke behavior tells us that it takes a lot of pressure to force smoke out of small openings. Knowing this tells us that there is likely fire nearby.

Finding fire in these voids can often be the key to winning or losing legacy fires.
