Humor

This short video offers us a firefighter who doesn't quite understand ladders.

I have posted several firefighter commercials in the past. Most of them have been pretty good. Here are three more that I think are worth watching. A Margarita recipe, a Dirty Firefighter, and one that might hit home with current pension reform practices.

Daily911Deals, a shoutout, training on ladders, fire safety education, comics, pranks, some serious stuff, see Dave and I in Ohio, see Willie and I in South Dakota, and plenty more!

Just watch the video...you can't make this stuff up! According to the video, this was a controlled burn and the raccoon got away safe.

I am gearing up for FDIC as many of my friends are as well. This year, Willie and I will be traveling with Mike Elston (Salem FD), and Andrew Catron (Kingsport FD). We look forward to many of the events. I will be posting our itinerary soon to let you all know where we will be.

I had seen these a while back. I posted one a while back. We watched them again when the guys brought them up at the firehouse. We laughed like hell. I knew right then that I couldn't go on through the day without making sure everyone saw them.

Hilarious. So true, yet so damn funny. I think it is safe to say that we have all worked with guys/gals like this...and that each of us has acted this way at one point or another when we have to ride the box. It starts out a little slow, but then you won't be able to turn away!

Here is some humor for you...perfect timing since I have been posting serious stuff recently. Enjoy... A funny skit about a police officer showing up first at a structure fire. Warning: Language...and no offense intended towards America's Finest. Just the Bravest having some fun...

I am blessed. I never thought for a minute that FireCritic.com would rise to the status it has. I never estimated the network, reach, and friends I would make along the way. I also have never, and will never take a second of it for granted. I have made the greatest attempt to answer every email, twitter message, facebook message, text, and phone call. Some of you have even received an email from me months after correspondence. This is because I lost it in the shuffle but didn't want to forget about it after seeing it again.
