Let it Burn??

Looks like the DFD is letting this one go and is protecting exposures. I don’t know the particulars but it sounded like another busy night in Motown. Undermanned & ill equipped, these guys are working their Butts off. Cuts are coming in June & it’s going to be a fiery summer. Dangerous situation for the Firefighters & civilians of Detroit. Detroit has 3 times the amount of fires as L.A. while being 1 fifth the size.

Brendan was smiling as he was trying out the Robot Exoskeleton which is designed to help him walk. Check out the video of his first steps. Video Here is another story from Firehouse Magazine.
It is great to see Brendan able to get out of that chair.

At the years end I see the list of “notable people” that have passed this year. Not to disparage their deaths, I think about the Firefighters & Policemen that have lost their lives in service to their communities. Fire Brothers in Blue Police The media concentrates on the famous & ignore the pillars of our communities. Thank you for your service & my sympathy to your families for their sacrifice and loss.
