2010 Year in Review – The Best of The Fire Critic for 2010

This is the Year in Review for the Fire Critic. Below you will find the most popular articles and referring sites, as well as some other data that defines what is read, who reads it, and where they are reading it.

This year at the Fire Critic has been one of growth, definition, and fun. I have a blast doing this blog and I am glad that my readers have seemed to enjoy it as well. This year, there has been significant growth in readership. I have also better defined exactly what I want to do with the Fire Critic Blog. Basically, the site is about the fire service and it brings news, videos, fun, humor, and networking among other aspects.

Next year should certainly be a another big year for the Fire Critic. I should be rolling out the new logo for the blog and continuing with more growth that you have gotten used to over the past 6-12 months.

Stay tuned in.
