Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
If you are following along (both of you), then you know that Willie Wines Jr. and I were in Emmitsburg, MD for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation 2011 Memorial Service. This was also the 30th Annual event.
We were there to help out with Firefighter Netcast and FireHero Radio. We accomplished that and much more.
Wille and I always keep ourselves busy. We also got to help out Dave Statter. Yes, I swallowed my pride and only gut punched him once. If you get a chance, ask him about dinner and his uncontrollable yelling!
This might be my favorite photo from the bunch I added to facebook. It might have been a great shot if a real photographer had taken it!
This year marked the 2nd trip for Willie and I to the NFFF Memorial Weekend. It is an honor to attend and also be able to help out.
At one point, I was asked to assist the “social media” crew at the event. I snapped several photos for them and spoke with the people in the photos. Unfortunately, none of the photos were used from what I could tell…bummer. Because I don’t want them to feel left out, I have included them below.
If you saw Willie or I taking photos of you this weekend and cannot find them on Facebook, let me know and I will get a copy to you.
I added about 300 photos to the Fire Critic Facebook Fan Page in several albums.
