Jennifer Mabee Dispatches
Written by Jennifer Mabee   
May 21, 2013, Waubaushene, Ont. – Those of you who have read some of my blogs over the past year may recall me mentioning the “minions,” an affectionate nickname given to my two bylaw coworkers from last summer. We were like the three amigos. . . or maybe it was more like the three stooges.  | READ MORE
 
Peter Sells Flashpoint
Written by Peter Sells   
May 17, 2013, Toronto – This is being written as I wait in Boston’s Logan Airport for my flight home to Toronto, after a very informative visit with the National Fire Protection Association at their offices in nearby Quincy, Mass.

May 15, 2013, Redwood Meadows, Alta. – Wow, I am just full of blog posts this week. It must be the 20-plus degree weather that has finally arrived in our neck of the woods. However, during the recent training at Redwood Meadows Emergency Services (RMES), we were all bundled up with the temperature hovering around the freezing mark. Good thing, I guess, because we were running some ice-rescue drills. And besides, cold weather makes watching the Stanley Cup a little easier to take – for those of us without a team in the second season.  | READ MORE
