  I’m all for a good time and firefighting comraderie is unique and a major reason why people want to be firefighters, but … here’s a good safety and legal suggestion for all fire departments – no photography allowed during live burn training! If anything was to happen, you can be sure the photos will be used in a lawsuit and subject to so much negative spin you would not believe you were at the same event. It would also send the right message to the participant: this is dangerous and FFs have died doing this.

  Check the Illinois Fire Service Institute memoral page some day. You will be sadly surprised how many times it happend.

  Sorry to be a downer. A belated happy July 4 to all!
