Best of the Rest - Shaving Heads, Mayor Called Out After Cuts, ELAFF Coming Out Video, Running with the Pak + MUCH MUCH MORE!

The final season of Rescue Me begins tonight at 10pm on FX. Rescue Me is one of the few shows about firefighters currently on TV. I think that many may agree that Rescue Me was a decent show in the beginning, but as the seasons progressed dysfunctional lives and too often nearly impossible heroics in conditions which are not indicative of normal firefighting lost real firefighters along the way.

Rescue Me was a hit. Many firefighters enjoyed it. I thought it showed how dysfunctional firefighters can be...not all of us, but some of us. It started out being pretty heavy on the firefighting and light on the drama...it ended up being very heavy on the drama and light on the firefighting. Trauma was just way over the top...and too many ambo drivers! The question now is what will be the next network show or movie about firefighting... Here are some of the options...

We were able to record about 10 individual podcasts. Many were produced for Tim Sendlebach and his crew at Fire Rescue Magazine. A couple others for Dave Statter and the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. The audio for the NFFF will be available later on Firefighter Netcast. Art Goodrich was able to record a couple as well. He actually got to interview Rob Schnepp (Cyanokit) and Steven Pasquale. You might know Steven from his roll as "White Sean" or Sean Garrity on Rescue me.

Everyone's favorite dysfunctional firefighter is back at it for another season. Tommy Gavin is back at it again tonight with Season 6 at 10pm EST. The official web site is here. I have enjoyed the show. I thought the first couple of seasons were the best. Lets be honest, it is a soap opera...much like the fire service of today!
