I must say that I am very pleased with my LEO: The Fire Within shirt! Other than being made in Honduras, I couldn't really find anything to pick apart. The sizing, fit, and feel of the shirt was very nice and I plan on wearing the shirt more in the future. However, if I were one of the LARGER firefighters I might find issue with the fact that LEO does not offer XXL or XXXL. I know some guys who would never fit into a XL!

Attached are a couple of photos of our new dining table. It was designed and constructed by one of our firefighters here at our station, FF Charles Osvold. This table is located at Marion County Fire Rescue Station #21 “The Sleepless Knights”, the busiest house in Marion County, Florida. We are listed in Firehouse magazine as one of the nation’s top 100 busiest stations. The table measures twelve feet long by four feet wide.

Firefighter Nation has the story of the Roseville Galleria Fire in Northern California here. City officials said part of the roof on the mall's south end collapsed as huge clouds of black smoke poured from the 1.3 million-square-foot Roseville Galleria, which is about 17 miles east of the state capital. A supposed armed man had barricaded himself in the mall and set the place on fire.

Let us know what you think! We just recently posted an article on Firefighter Netcast about our shows, check it out here. Firefighter Netcast is the most downloaded Fire Service related content on itunes!

My time at FDIC was a blast. We managed to pack the week full of friends, fun, and work (Firefighter Netcast). The people I have met through this blog, twitter, facebook, etc. will stay with me for a long time. Our occasional chance to meet is always fun!

A sincere thanks to Fire Rescue Magazine, Firefighter Nation, and FireEMSBlogs.com for sharing their booth with Firefighter Netcast. Special thanks to Dave Iannone, Chris Hebert, Tim Sendelbach, and Jeff Berend as well as the rest of the crews of the aforementioned companies. The hospitality, networking, assistance, and conversation was very much appreciated!

By now, if you are a regular reader of some of the best Fire and/or EMS blogs on the net you are asking yourself what the heck is going on. Several blogs have talked about a new look, a new feel, and a new direction the past several days.
