Firefighter Netcast

We’ve dug up audio of rescuers admonishing the ship’s captain to return to his ship and assist in the rescue effort; the first video from inside the half-submerged cruise ship of the technical rescue operations in place including the use of controlled explosions in the rescue effort. Then look at a 4-alarm rowhouse fire in Brooklyn and listen in on all the fireground audio.

Tulsa’s James O’Neal, the firefighter who went down in full arrest during an arson fire last week, was released from the hospital today, far ahead of expectations. Our videos of the day come from a New Jersey 4-alarm fire which injured two firefighters as they made a third story pick rescuing an elderly woman.

On today’s Daily Fire Fix- Another serial arsonist in California? A volunteer firefighter who noticed some dude starting fires along the road so he pulled over and put the fires out, then had to put the arsonist out as well: watch a three-ring circus which erupts at a public fimeeting caught on tape.

A massive five alarm secure storage facility fire video report with a firefighter mayday out of Toronto; our videos of the day of a harrowing rescue of an “infant” by two Spiderman bystanders; we spotlight Backstep Firefighter- a website in which you’ll want to make a regular stop!

On today’s Daily Fire Fix- The fire service suffers its second and third line of duty deaths, both at accident scenes in the Carolinas. We take a look at the recent fatal hi rise fire in Chicago, just days after the city council extended its deadline for the installation of fire safety devices in such buildings.

The fire service suffers its first line of duty death when a Florida firefighter falls from a new ladder truck during training. Is a serial arsonist on the loose in the Bluegrass State?

DCFD Lt. Robert “Cadillac” Alvarado is joining the chorus of DC firefighters speaking out against the new FEMS patch directive from Chief Ellerbe. We point out a humorous look at how difficult it can be to create a decent training video when you have firefighters for actors.

Tulsa fire officials are taking a closer a look at James O’Neal’s SCBA following his full arrest during a Mayday, James continues to improve. Our video of the day clearly demonstrates that when firefighters approach a raging fire with a cool, calm, just-get-the-job-done attitude, the fire goes out and we all go home.

some good news from the USFA that LODD’s are down again this year, an update on the Tulsa firefighter who was pulled back from the dead this week, a great fireground video showing inside and outside conditions before, during, and after a flash, and the uproar in DC about their new logo.

On today’s Daily Fire Fix- we found a video taken from the scene of the arrest of a “person of interest” in the Hollywood arson fires. Then we take a look at the bad boys of the fire service, accused of drug trafficking, firehouse burglary, DWI, DWI, and DWI, and of course, celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ at a firehouse Christmas party by relentlessly tazing the junior firefighter. See how these reports ruin it for all of us.
