Baltimore Flashover
[Jan 19/10]
Unfortunately the embedding feature from Youtube for this video has
been removed. A longer version of the original is now available on
YOUTUBE - if you listen you can here the call to evacuate along
with the trucks sirens blaring to indicate same. Videos such as this
serve as a good reminder that one can never be too careful and
should never ever take the
devil for granted. The video is of a flash over which happened in
Baltimore on Jan 15th - Crews were inside at
the time - six firefighters were hurt in the flashover, one is still in
hospital. The full story can be found at
STATter911.
Note - LT that was in
Hospital has been released and expected to make a full recovery.

EMPLOYMENT LAW E-BULLETIN [Dec 24/09]
As part of their
firefighters news/bulletin Lancaster House has published an overview
of the litigation between Etobicoke Firefighters and Local 3888.
Many have discussed it around the kitchen table in the fire hall
without having all the facts, and without being clear on what it
entailed - if you are interested in the facts, an overview of the
litigation can be found on the
LocaLine Page
