Shocking look at what happens after only 3 minutes...check those smoke alarms. After 10 years smoke alarms need to be replaced.

First burn cell of the week. Simulation of a bedroom with the bed sheets set on fire by a fallen candle. Before and after. This is only after 3 minutes!!! Goes to show how important smoke alarms are. Crazy!

We are halfway through 2018 and here are a few of the memories that we have made so far! #SFA #NFPA #FIRETRAINING #roperescue #hazmat #funtimes
This post is about our first visit to FDIC Indianapolis. For anyone who doesn’t know, this is a week long firefighter convention and training show in Indianapolis. I was told by plenty of other firefighters that you have to see it to believe it. I have attended some other smaller shows including Toronto so I get what it is about. You bring a bunch of firefighters to a big room and try to sell them some new trucks, gear or gizmos. This is where FDIC Indianapolis is completely different. First, it’s a week long and its big, real big, with attendance in the 32,000+ area. In fact I heard people come to visit FDIC from more than 55 countries. It’s more than a sales blitz. There is live hands on training, seminars, book signings, demonstrations and many famous people there too. When I say this I mean they are famous in the North American fire service mostly but also many are well known around the world too. You will see fire service icons like retired chiefs Alan Brunacini, Billy Goldfeder, Rick Lasky, John Salka, Bobby Halton and many others.
