I share these pictures to show some of the mounting options available, and to suggest looking at many rigs when organizing your new rig. Plan them out so they work for your department's operations.

A bunch of us are tapering for the Glass City Marathon in Toledo, Ohio this Sunday. FF Hackenburg is running the full marathon in gear and a pack while most of our First Due Racing team is running the half marathon.

Personnel from the Coast Guard and first responders from Ottawa County and Jerusalem Township teamed up to assist an injured snowmobiler off the ice near Crane Creek, Ohio

Part of the motivation for the PD guys is when firefighters take off running first while carrying a box of donuts and on the flip side the PD guys put recliners at the finish line for us firefighters. All kidding aside; I hope you find some motivation in the new logo.

Just last month it was brought to my attention that one of the pics from that training was used in a magazine advertisement by PBI Products. Maybe they will toss a few sets of gear our way and get some product review advertisement as well.

Mrs. Sweat Bee didn't get a video of Christmas morning, but from the pictures it seems the Sweat Bee wanted a these gifts like a Red Ryder BB gun. Happy breaking, breaching, and forcing.

When I say thinking with muscle I include your cranium muscle. At last nights training we set-up a roll-over pinning scenario and also moved big blocks. It's not rocket science, but sometimes we could fall into a trap of what is not fastest and safest.

So one of the local high school career center students and fire explorer asked if I could help him learn more about forcible entry for a skills challenge competition. He said competition, right? All in!

For the last several weeks we have given away a bunch of great products in the Before The Snow Flies Giveaway. Somehow, Smitty over at Boron Extrication and the FDT crew have managed to juggle what goes to who. We certainly couldn't have made it without the help of Shane at the National Firefighters Endowment. Consider joining the Officers Club.

Boron Extrication and First Due Tackle have teamed up to give you a chance to win some new equipment and swag. We'll announce a new product or more every week until the giveaway ends on October 31, 2012. The more often you like and share, the more chances you have to win. Be sure to review the rules on the Enter The Giveaway page linked below and check the blogs regularly for the next product announcement.
