Monday Morning Shoutout

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to 1-Union-801. The blog, served up on blogspot, is run by a friend I have met via twitter. His twitter username is @ssgjbroyles. The blog 1-Union-8011-Union-801 tagline reads: Mainly how Military and Civilian EMS differ...although the tasks learned are the same.

What I found most interesting was how some of the other EMS bloggers were amazed at meeting him. Most of us bloggers have spoke on the phone, seen photos of each other, or at least emailed each other. Over time, this turns into a relationship/friendship of sorts. Prior to this weekend, I do not know that I have ever been in contact with TOTWTYTR. I have read his blog but must admit that I don't catch it every day.

Jeff offers ideas for PIO's, points out good and bad PIO work across the Nation, and blogs about other information for PIO's. If you have not been following him you should check him out. His blog is one of the newer additions to the FireEMSBlogs.com community.

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to Life Under The Lights or (LOTL). His blog focuses on para-medicine, although he runs the occasional fire. His insight on EMS 2.0 is thought provoking and well examined. He has recently been involved with Justin and Mark in their latest videos "A Seat at the Table"...

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to FirstDueMedic.com. FirstDueMedic.com is a blog titled "The Gate Keeper" with a site built around it and is a personal journal about a volunteer firefighter and EMT who is currently in schooling to become a Paramedic. Look for him on twitter @FirstDueMedic and on Facebook.

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to the Firefighter Cancer Support Network. The Firefighter Cancer Support Network has been connecting firefighters with cancer to help them cope, assisting them throughout their battle, and giving them tools so they understand more about the cancer they have.

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to "A Firefighters' Own Worst Enemy". The blog is a new one that recently captured my attention. I would categorize it as a hybrid training blog with some real World experience written in by the author.

The Monday Morning Shoutout goes to Firefighter Netcast this week. The reason for it is because we are announcing the winnner of the Fire/EMS Blog of the Year during the Live show. If you haven't checked out the Firefighter Netcast, be sure to do so now. The netcast is brought to you by its hosts John Mitchell of Fire Daily and myself.

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to DCFD.com. The site is all about fires/firefighting in the District of Columbia. It is run by Administrator - John Mullen, Webmaster - Justin Baer, Contributor - Vito Maggiolo, Photographer - Elliot Goodman, and Graphic Design- Kevin Copley.

I have posted about this in the past, and I am hitting on it one more time. Tomorrow the 29th, is the last day to vote for the Charlotte Fire Department on PIOSocialMediaTraining.com.
