This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to Queen City Burns by Taj, a 24 y.o. firefighter in Queen City, Louisiana. Taj is trying to make a difference. He is part of the bloggers trying to make a cultural change in the fire service through writing, training, teaching, and learning. This crowd has actually got me working out half-regularly now and I thank them for the motivation and inspiration!

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to Ride Out Comic. Ride Out Comic was created by Fire Medic Art. Ride Out Comic is fairly new. So far, so good I think. It should be interesting to see if one of the Fire Magazines picks up the comic strip to run on their mag, or if one of the mainstream fire web sites picks them up.

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to a new blog I found titled "24/7 Student of the Fire Service". The blog states "Not a T-Shirt Guy's Blog (Protected by the First Amendment)" I like what I read...I think this blog will gain some traction. This is a newer blog on the scene. Check it out.

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to Just A Vollie. Just A Vollie is a fairly new blog on the scene and is actually a newer format to something that started out as an email blast. Yeah...I know that it isn't Monday morning anymore, but when you keep my hours you learn to fit in what you can whenever time allows.

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to Christopher Naum’s BuildingsonFire.com. About the site: The authoritative and informational site that provides leading insights on fire service issues related to Building Construction for the Fire Service,  Firefighting Operations and Command Risk Management ...

The Fire Service Warrior offers this unique "mission statement" that has been dubbed the Ethos of a Fire Service Warrior. Ethos? Yeah, I had to look it up although I kinda figured what he meant by it. Ethos: English word based on a Greek word and denotes the guiding beliefs or ideals that characterize a community, a nation or an ideology.

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to a newer blog on the block - Backwards and stupid. The blog may be new, but the person behind it has definitely been in the business a while. Hallway Sledge (the username of the anonymous author) has a unique writing skill... they write as they talk...with profanity and all when necessary. Backwards and stupid came up on my radar recently afer a series of great posts. The blog began in October 2010. In one of the more recent posts, Hallway Sledge writes an article titled "The Pussification of the American Fire Service".

This weeks Monday Morning Shoutout goes to the newly designed and revamped Traditions Training Blog. The blog has been around, but they decided to move the discussion to their facebook page. Now they are back with a vengeance! The Traditions Training Blog is hosted on the FireEMSBlogs.com platform and is a part of the larger web site TraditionsTraining.com.
