Being at the peak of summer a lot of the staff is busy with summertime events. With the time spent on moving the old format to the new format you see, I need a bit of a holiday. The staff and I will be taking a month long hiatus from the main site to pursue summertime activities and events in our personal lives. If something big does come up we will post it but regular updates will be suspended for the month of August.

With that being said I want to offer a newly opened position. With the new format anyone with the proper rights can contribute to the main site directly unlike before. If you agree with the general site and want to be a contributor, send an email via our contact page with the topics that interest you that you want to write about. We are looking for contributors on topics we cover plus lighting/siren safety and proper usage.

Well, see you in September unless something pops up that we need to share.

First thing, remembering the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776. Second, Fireworks (where legal) and Celebrating. Be safe and have a wonderful weekend. Regular updates will resume next weekend.

We ask you to pay your respects to those who have fallen in the defense of this country. We will resume normal updates next week.

Across the internet, this day, as every day with the date of 09/11 people are recollecting what they did that day.

Some recount where they were, some recount how they heard the news, and some recount how it affected them. Anyone alive at that time in the USA could probably tell you details of that day regarding their personal lives that they couldn’t if it was just any other normal day.

On several forums people have been going over that day. A lot were in the public safety field at the time, but a lot weren’t. A lot were in school or not even remotely involved in the field. While we all agree that age doesn’t make a difference and experience does, but this is something different. Those who weren’t involved in the public safety field that day will never know what that day felt like to those who were in the field. Although some of those now in the field lost someone they knew, being in the field at the time gave a certain understanding that is hard to describe. Now before you take offense, we are not saying “those not in the field that day don’t care”, but we are finding a growing trend with this group of people talking about that day as if they were first responders that day.

Hearing younger FF or EMS workers who where still in school, or otherwise not members of emergency services, at the time talk about 9-11 as though they were active responders bothers us. They were in school or whatever, and while they may have been scared, they didn’t just witness hundreds of people who where doing the same job as them die in an act of cowardice, we did, along with every other active emergency responder on that day.

We ask everyone to remember ALL of those who lost their lives that day and those who continue to fight for our safety and freedom.

Happy Independence Day (USA) to everyone! Have a happy and safe weekend and remember what the forth of July stands for.
