You should read the story. FDNY hasn't willingly opened its doors to felons. As a matter of fact, the city's notice to applicants still states that convicted felons "are not eligible for appointment to this position."

I got to meet with several companies both during FDIC and since. Several of which I hope to be doing product reviews for very soon! If you are looking for having a product review for your product, check out more information here. I spoke with Major Mack of The Bowring today on the phone. They are sending me their product to review shortly. There's was one of the busier boothes at FDIC. I think the product looks like a potential tool that years from now will be a staple in "What's in Your Pockets" discussions!

The forum topic got 22 pages of comments over the past 4 months almost to the day. Over that 4 months, the discussion would fade off and every couple of weeks it would get revived and many more comments would be added. The total was somewhere around 260 comments. That isn't too bad. I actually left the discussion after making my point that NO, felons should not be firefighters. Many said that some felonies were not bad. I then asked anyone to name a GOOD felony. No takers.

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.

The constant evolution of fire service information lies right before your eyes.

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!
