The 2014 version of FDIC has come and gone. I had the chance to meet some new friends and connect with some old ones. If you haven't made it to FDIC be sure to put in on your list for 2015.

This past Thursday we kicked off our racing season at the Courage and Valor 5k at FDIC. Before I could get home this morning some other brothers ran in the Humane Society 5k in Sandusky, OH.

I've been preaching the combination of experience and education for some time. These aspects of the job should not work in opposition to one another, yet bring forth a more powerful fire service.

The first due racing team will be kicking off the season with two races this week.

Always subject to additions, but here is the start of the 2014 FDIC itinerary. I'll have FDT chips from The Chip Site and stickers to share. Come find me.

If anybody has the brass axes to criticize from a computer screen this year, then here is my proposal for next year: I'll climb next to you next year at FDIC with structural gear plus an airpack and make the donation for your entry fee.

Well, the annual pilgrimage to Indianapolis has come and gone, but not without many great memories and a recharged battery. FDIC is truly an awesome event for learning, networking, and brotherhood.

This past Friday and Saturday we helped with the Northern Ohio Fools Heavy Rescue 101 training event. For the 7th year in a row this event has grown bigger and better. This year firefighters from 8 states were represented.

With just days before FDIC 2013 we have put together a tentative itinerary. Smitty from Boron Extrication and several of the FDT crew will be in Indy for the greatest firefighter pilgrimage.

Some of the events up and coming that we are participating in for a variety of reasons. Some in memory, some to build the team, and others for charity. In each, firefighter fitness is involved.
