The travel was great! I had a blast everywhere I went. I meet the best the fire service has to offer across the US and I am humbled by so many who treat me like family. I would love to list all of you, but it simply wouldn't be possible to remember EVERYONE who was a part of this community this year whether in person or remote. Thanks for the friendships!

On Saturday, October 17th, Marshall Fire Protection District was dispatched to a structure fire with heavy smoke showing. Upon arrival, crews found a mobile home fully engulfed with a small shed also consumed with fire. Firefighters mounted an exterior attack with two 1 3/4" handlines and quickly knocked the bulk of the fire. The cause of the fire was believed to be a wood stove located directly adjacent to the mobile home.

Pleasant Hill FD in Eastern Wilkes County, NC fought this fire this past Wednesday. Units arrived to find a single story dwelling well involved. Firefighters made a quick exterior knockdown using an 1 3/4" line and a 2" line (pictured in the video). One crew made an quick primary search of the south end of the home.
