Firefighters
Close Calls - With the attitude that in order for
firefighters to survive the dangers of the job, we must learn how other
firefighters have had "Close Calls" and even been injured or
killed, this site and TSL will continue the "No BS" history of
bringing forward issues in an effort to enforce that philosophy-and get
firefighters to refocus on "what's important." The intent is not
to "Monday Morning Quarterback" or purposely embarrass anyone,
but to provide as factual information as possible as provided by our
visitors-with commentary to allow the reader to THINK and decide if, or
what they want to do in order to prevent the bad stuff from occurring
again. We always welcome corrections or updated information.
