WEATHER Situation for this weekend!!!

Hey Gang….

I have been watching the weather (as you should be also!), and we are expecting another Winter weather event Thursday night through Saturday!

Here is the link

http://www.weather.com/weather/alerts/localalerts/USVA0001?phenomena=TSL&significance=S&areaid=VAZ008&office=KMRX&etn=f8c714912c3b5e5bb52243777f3c7db41fe8b6d7

If the weather event takes place we will cancel class for this weekend for several reasons, the main reason is YOUR SAFTEY!

Second I am sure with the ground being so wet your Fire Departments will need you there to help out!

Anyway I will make a decision Early Friday Afternoon about class.

Thanks

Shawn

Mayday audio from Maryland

This is from www.Firefighterclosecalls.com

Thanks to Chief Goldfedder and Firefighterclosecalls.com for the link!

MARYLAND MAYDAY VIDEO and ESPECIALLY-THE AUDIO:
 
Here is a LINK:  http://tinyurl.com/ygxj6lv  to the video and audio from yesterday’s MAYDAY in Anne Arundel County, Maryland where several Firefighters were injured in the fire that occurred in a non-hydranted area. Thanks to Dave Statter for the follow up.
 
====IMPORTANT AUDIO NOTE:
The below AUDIO is of great value for training purposes. LISTEN to the 1st due company officer’s initial and various following radio reports-(Lieutenant 9)-and especially when she reports the floor is burned thru-and then a MAYDAY is transmitted following that. Lt. 9 then participates in gaining access to the Firefighters. While we were not there, from what it sounds like to us on the audio, Lt. 9, along with others did an outstanding job specific to what is heard on the audio.

We also have several photos posted on our homepage sent in to us, taken during the operations.
Take Care-BE CAREFUL.
