Carbon monoxide responses are easy to treat like routine calls. Most of the time, we are dispatched for an alarm activation, a beeping detector, or a vague report of someone “not feeling well.” There is no smoke showing, no visible hazard, and no obvious emergency from the street.

   Do you understand the importance of fire prevention 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year? Do you believe the easiest fire to put out is the one you prevent?

   Here we are heading into the last month of summer, and I haven’t gotten in all the golfing I was hoping for by this time. Darn, don’t you feel bad for me? Ok, I know you don’t.

   It’s almost a tale of two states. In the east farmers have had trouble getting crops in because it has been so wet and out here in the west we can’t seem to beg a rain.

   I recently read an article where a young firefighter in another state has been arrested and charged for installing a couple cameras in the women’s locker room of his fire house.
