With tech. today, we can see things happening as they are. Sometimes before we get to the scene.
But some of the pictures and videos on here are just a jaw dropper.... Like our Chief says, someone out there is going to have a bad day.

Check out Roll Call Groups and put some info about your Fire House in... Like to hear what your station is like, what you have as well as for number for firefighters as well as number of calls. Pass it around to your Firefighter Friends too....Easy way to located this group is go to my site and look at the bottom left. Short cut if you have a hard time locating this.

Enjoy, and stay safe!
