Each week we look at hundreds of items for inclusion on the Firefighter Nation website. And each week, some fall by the wayside, either for a lack of time or insufficient information or just too many other stories.
Others just don’t meet the standard for a full-blown story. (I know, you’re thinking, ‘You have standards?’)
Anyway, when we rake over the ashes of the week, we pull them together here for your (marginal) entertainment, amusement and edification.
