Oct. 23, 2012, Redwood Meadows, Alta. – Show of hands: How many of you live in the best village, town, city in the country? Let’s face it, we all do. But did our community ever appear to rise above others on the weekend. The Redwood Meadows Firefighters’ Association (RMFA) held its fourth bi-yearly ball on Saturday. This year’s proceeds will be handed over to the town to help offset the costs of our new rescue truck.

Jennifer Mabee Dispatches
Written by Jennifer Mabee   
Oct. 23, 2012, Midland, Ont. – Holy moly, it’s been a loooong time since I’ve written a blog! What a crazy, busy summer it was – the season had me temporarily drafted to the Planning Department from September to December and us selling our house and moving last weekend. I finally feel like I’m starting to catch my breath.

Peter Sells Flashpoint
Written by Peter Sells   
Oct. 23, 2012, Toronto - During the presidential election debate last evening, Mitt Romney pointed out that the U.S. Navy has fewer ships today than it did in 1916. President Obama replied, as you may have seen tweeted or parodied, that it also has fewer horses and bayonets. Sarcasm for sure, but what a great way to make a point. Technology has changed and continues to change.

Jay Shaw From the Floor
Written by Jay Shaw   
Oct. 22, 2012, Winnipeg – The other day, as I was shuffling my kids back and forth from hockey, driving down Pembina Highway, which is one of the main drags in south Winnipeg, I saw a man about my age walking down the sidewalk whom I frequently have seen in the neighbourhood the last few years.

Peter Sells Flashpoint
Written by Peter Sells   
Oct. 16, 2012, Toronto – Don’t you wish it were that easy? This house fire isn’t going so well right now; the water flowing though the municipal grid is experiencing unusual levels of friction, and the choice of location of the ventilation opening on the roof does not appear to be acceptable to the volumes of hot gases in the structure. So, as incident commander, I’m going to ask the Lieutenant Fire Governor to prorogue this fire until such time as another incident commander can be selected.

Peter Sells Flashpoint
Written by Peter Sells   
Oct. 15, 2012, Toronto - Did anyone out there happen to catch the premier episode of Chicago Fire last Wednesday evening? I’m not a big fan of formula TV, so there have been many cop, lawyer and medical shows that have passed me by over the years. However, probably like a lot of you (at least the older ones), I watched Emergency every day after school. I saw Backdraft in the theatre the week it opened, and accepted it for what it was – an action movie. I was disappointed in that the first big fire movie was, in essence, a murder mystery, but the interactions among the firefighters in the hall and on the trucks were real to me.

Oct. 15, 2012, Redwood Meadows, Alta. - Like all of us, I love this job. Yes, I don’t get paid for it but that is by choice for now. I grew up in a firefighting family and aside from getting my recent chief fire officer professional designation, bringing home a new truck for the department is one of the biggest thrills I’ve experienced.
