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. 4, 2012, Redwood Meadows, Alta. – I had all the best intentions. I was going to blog each day of the Canadian Association Fire Chiefs (CAFC) conference in St. John’s, N.L. No problem; it is just 500 to 700 words. Easy. NOT! Don’t get me wrong; I love how busy I was at the conference. But there just wasn’t time left in the day to write the way I had wanted to. So, now that there is a little breathing room while I’m back at home, I guess I’ll just write my regular weekly blog and talk about last week.
