This reminds me of London Firefighter’s in the Blitz in #WW2, what Churchill described as “Heroes with grimy faces”. Ukrainian Firefighter’s plunged into a war doing their duty no matter what, as you’d expect. May God bless and protect them and their Countrymen. #Ukraine

This afternoon as #E29 was wrapping up a response to an outside fire at 65th Ave & Eastlawn Street the #OFD crew asked a youngster for a little assistance and he was more than happy to help them out. He was jumping for excitement afterwards. Junior Firefighter in training! Watch:

Have you witnessed a backdraft via a training prop such as this one? You have? But have you seen it in slow motion, with thermal imaging, and side by side views of optical and thermal? Special thanks to our friends overseas for sharing this amazing video with us. @flir

A noble-overseer; a task often neglected. Remember, our profession is not our true purpose. Our faith, our families, and our friends are our responsibility. How much time do we give them?

Is it truly for them? We hear firefighters shouting that our efforts are for THEM. While we argue over which nozzle is the best, I plead with firefighters across the world; the best nozzle is one that is FULLY OPEN, properly flowed, & held in well trained hands.

In this job, we do nothing alone. So why do we struggle and suffer in silence? Reach out! Don’t wait to call your personal May-Day when it’s too late. #peersupport – at Concord, NC

Can a TIC see holes in floors? Or judge structural integrity? The old answer is No... The new and educated answer is: It depends! On the TIC... And who is holding it! Check this video where a hole in a floor is shown at an actual fire followed by another way to identify it

Morning prayer Lord we know that before the end comes evil will abound and thrive but I believe its Your will for us to fight the good fight right up until the end. Heavenly Father, give us that kind of strength and that kind of staying power, we already know Who wins.

Do you wear your radio under your coat? Do you know the failure temperature of your radio? It's hard to call a MAY-DAY if the radio fails and you don't even... nist.gov/news-events/news/20…
