I have a question for PEZ®: Why are the hero dispensers only male? I’m thinking it’s time to get with it and enter the 21st century.

A fitting modification of Shakespeare: “When they shall die, take them, and cut them in little stars, and they will make the face of heaven so fine, that the world will be in love with night, and pay no worship to the garish sun”

Today we honor 82 firefighters lost in 2019 and 21 from previous years. Please take the time today to reflect on their sacrifice and the families and loved ones left behind. Thanks to the NFFF for a moving tribute held virtually due to the pandemic. #Honoring America’s Fallen

After our recent experiments, we teamed up with Philadelphia Fire fire marshals & ATF Philadelphia Arson Task Force members to continue examining the impact of ventilation on the fire patterns - a key area of interest due to changes in ventilation during the fires.

This week, in between our FEMA Grants Search & Size-Up experiments, we collaborated with IAAI, US Fire Marshals and FDNY to collect samples from the fire scenes and examine the post-fire risk exposures to fire investigators. Samples were taken at 1hr, 1, 3, and 5 days after the fire.
