MORE BACKGROUND CRAP :
I hate the nickname 'Backdraft' but that's what everyone knows me as in the Washington, DC metro area. I work with a popular morning radio show on 106.7 WJFK: The Junkies (5a-10a). The nick 'Backdraft' came about as radio guys with shallow minds could only think of the movie when trying to come up with a radio name. Yeah, it sucks. Been doing all the online web and media work for the Junks for 7 years and D&M for the last year. On the side I run my own Internet music stations known as Rockland USA as well as a celebrity gossip and entertainment blog. I got my firefighter start with the Mt. Aetna Volunteer Fire Company 16 in Washington County, MD. While going to University of Maryland and Montgomery College, volunteered with Sandy Spring 4 & 40 in Montgomery County, MD. I was then hired by Fairfax County, VA in 1987 working at stations 26, 34, 1, 18, and currently 24.

Brass Hydrant Parts Proving To Be Lucrative For Thieves

Start taking a closer look at your hydrants in your area folks! The downturn in the economy has brought about a new target for those turning metal into cash.

The brass top operating nuts of hydrants can net a tidy sum of money for thieves and it's happening in Northern Virginia. Without the operating nut, the hydrants are rendered inoperable (depending on the hydrant model).

Firefighter To Be Charged With Attempted Murder Over A Woman





It is said that women can drive men do the darndest things. We can get so caught up in a woman that we'll go off the deep end if anyone even thinks about looking at our girl. Would I try to kill someone over a woman? Hell no! Apparently one firefighter would.
We hear that police plan on charging a Springfield, MA firefighter with attempt… Continue

CELEBRITY NEWS: Michael J. Fox May Join 'Rescue Me'





From the celebrity news wires I'm hearing that Michael J. Fox may jump on board the cast of 'RESCUE ME' during the fifth season. The plan is for Fox to play a love interest to Denis Leary's character's ex (Janet). Entertainment Tonight is reporting this afternoon that Fox is considering the offer - which makes sense since Fox and Leary are longtime friends.
As you may recall, F… Continue
