Peter Sells Flashpoint blog: History repeats itself at White Point
Written by Peter Sells   
Nov. 16, 2011 – Have you ever wondered how the movie folks manage to film those cool effects, like having a huge ball of flame chase the actors as they run down a corridor to escape? No? Well, I’m gonna tell you.

Jennifer Mabee Disatches
Written by Jennifer Mabee   
Nov. 16, 2011, Midland, Ont. – I pulled up beside the other vehicles at the hall, parked the Jeep and ran in to put my gear on, just in case. Then I hear over the radio in the hall, "Station 3, this is Pump 3, respond the rescue please." Right on!!!! That’s me because I’m the only one here!

Jennifer Mabee Dispatches
Written by Jennifer Mabee   
Nov. 15, 2011, Midland, Ont. - I had just sat down at the rink in Coldwater to watch my daughter’s hockey game. I was appropriately attired in my nice, warm, down “hockey coat” that’s long enough to keep my backside warm when sitting on those cold benches, Timmy’s in hand. I commented to the mom beside me that it seemed colder in the arena than it had been yesterday. It’s what appears to be an average, ordinary, everyday moment. Then it happened . . . two tones emanating from my pager, my brain clueing in: “OMG! Is it? Can it be?? Is it a call???” And then . . . nothing . . . no more tones, no voice, nothing but static.

Nov. 14, 2011 – I’m not really one of those jump-out-of-bed-and-hit-the-ground-running types of people. I’m more of an ugh-morning-already?-I-need-coffee-turn-on-Breakfast-Television-and-sit-there-in-a-fog-until-the-caffeine-starts-to-kick-in kind of person.

Bob Krause Career fire officer humbled by volunteers
Written by Bob Krause   
Editor’s note: Bob Krause, a battalion chief in Toledo, Ohio, has become a bit of a Bluenoser, having taught workshops at FDIC Atlantic in Wolfville, N.S., for the last few years. Krause was invited to instruct at the Colchester County Firefighters Association seminar in early November. A longtime career firefighter and officer, Krause learned a little bit himself in Truro, N.S., about the Canadian volunteer fire service, its dedicated men and women and the professionalism that they exhibit on the job and in their communities. Watch for Krause’s series on fire-ground attack in Canadian Firefighter and EMS Quarterly starting in January.

Nov. 14, 2011 – On Nov. 5 and 6 I was in Truro, N.S., to speak at the Colchester County Firefighters Association seminar. The seminar was held at the local college and more than 100 firefighters attended. Firefighters from most of the county’s fire departments were in attendance.

Nov. 10, 2011 – In mulling over what to write about today, I found myself thinking about the things that inspire me. After all, if it weren’t for the “hey . . . that’s good, I should blog about that” thoughts that runs through our minds when we’re inspired by something, I wouldn’t have written this and you wouldn’t be reading it.

Tim Beebe Beebewitz's Blog
Written by Tim Beebe   
Tim Beebe, the fire chief in Upsala, Ont., writes the Spontaneous Combustion column for Canadian Firefighter magazine, but that’s just four times a year and he has much more to say, so we’re posting his always-entertaining blog here. You can go back into the blog archives to find out why he chose the name Beebewitz’s Blog – (something about high school!) – or just read it and enjoy.

Nov. 9, 2011 – A person in pursuit of money or power or fame doesn't select fire fighting as a career path. At least not for very long. Plenty of other professions serve those ends without causing one to be awakened at 2:00 a.m. to muck around in turnout gear. Firefighters may want money, power, and fame, but our chief motivator (at least in the beginning) is a desire to help others.

Nov. 7, 2011 – It seemed like the ultimate statistical conundrum. What if we were paged at 01:15 hrs on November 6, and then again exactly an hour later (after the official change back to Eastern Standard Time)?
