I don’t teach strategy and tactics because I’m not at your fire. I teach basics because that’s what gets the damn job done. Sick of people peddling a magic fix all. Be a student of the game and give a shit. It’s easy.

Closing interior doors when going to bed at night is vital to saving lives if you have a fire.... this video demonstrates it perfectly!!!

I've witnessed successful transitional attack. Companies were interior but fire drove them out.They transitioned from offensive to defensive x.com/cltobinstlfd/s…

@cltobinstlfd Just make sure you get a good vent hole in first or your trench will act like one!

Sad that this is what we, as a Fire Service, have begun to accept as the norm x.com/cltobinstlfd/s…

Now how about the same fire through the door? Always nice when it's vented. And maybe a victim behind the door? x.com/LtRayMack/stat…

Thanks for all the hard work! x.com/stocktonfire/s…

At 0330 today Engine 12,Ladder 12, Squad 6, Deputy Chief 6 arrived in minutes at a basement fire in a townhouse. One removed unconscious.

#Chicago logged its 400th homicide yesterday, 4 days sooner than last year. 2015 hit 400 on Sept 29th and 2014 waited until Nov 10th.

It's a sad state of affairs when the bodies of our fallen Brothers are not even buried and people are already second guessing what transpired. Give it a break.....
