Tag Archives: Monday Morning Shoutout

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to TNFireNews.com. You might not believe how much work goes into a State Fire News web site. There is a small breed of us who have created web sites for our State's fire news. We have to rely on submitted content to make it work. Some have made a success of it, others have closed up shop. Still there are a couple who are trying to break through and make it work.

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to Rambling Chief - All Things Wildland Fire and E.M.S. From A Chief Officer's Perspective. Rambling Chief is a full service web site including a blog. You can also catch up with Rambling Chief on twitter @RamblingChief.

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to a brand new blog. The Average Jake Firefighter Blog is a blog by Robby and Danny Owens. I got to meet them at FDIC this year (although I am the idiot with the camera who forgot to get a pic!). Robby is a guy I have had the opportunity to bump into via email, other blogs, on the air over at Burnin it down, and occasionally on Firefighter Netcast.

There is a new blog on the circuit. The Leatherhead Firefighter Blog is this weeks Monday Morning Shoutout. The blog is created by twitter user @leatherheadff and looks very promising. There are several blog posts up so far so you can catch up pretty quick. Take a chance and leave a comment!

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to Firefighter Wife. Firefighter Wife is a blog by just that...a firefighter's wife! She talks about the perils of being married to a career firefighter. She also discusses the differences between now and when he was a volunteer.

I love reading these blogs by firefighter wives because it is interesting to see their view of our lives. I have seen many wives who just don't get our lifestyle, our jobs, our Brotherhood. However, there are plenty who do get it and understand why we do what we do. I am very lucky to have found one who is very understanding!

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to Everyday EMS Tips. Everyday EMS Tips is a well rounded web site/blog that provides a post a day (or more) for EMS professionals to increase their knowledge base. The site is run by Greg Friese.

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.

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"...
