* Update on Fresno Fire Captain Pete Dern:
Pete went into surgery yesterday at 2:00pm PST. His last "major surgery". There will be others in the future, but this is the last one needed to perform / heal before Pete can leave the Burn Unit and start Rehabilitation. Dr. Dominic called his wife Kelly at 7:30pm to give her a report.
Dr. D worked on Pete's scalp and cleaned it up. They did the surgery with Pete sitting up and being off aspirin, so this time he didn't lose as much ...

The Chinese Fire Service recently released this image of (top L to R) Yang Gang, Yuan Hai, Shao Junqiang, and (bottom L to R) Tian Baojian, Zhen Yuhang, and Yin Yanrong... all who are confirmed dead.

Does your dept/brigade still get each other wet?
When I first got hired we did... then we had a Chief (no longer here) who ordered ALL water play to stop immediately. Many people got disciplined, even demoted for continuing to participate. It changed our culture and now there is little to no water play.
God bless New York's Bravest!

* Update on Fresno Fire, CA Captain Pete Dern
Pete was scheduled for his last major surgery last Saturday. That would have been his 22nd surgery.
Unfortunately, another burn trauma came in and they needed Dr. Dominic's medical expertise more than Pete did. So instead of surgery Pete had a dressing change.

  • Tom White Are you sure as a full time firefighter you can't volunteer? FDNY guys were well known for doing this for as long as I can remember. As a full time union member it is looked down upon to work for a non union, paying job. As a volunteer I don't see why there's be a problem.

  • Will Elwell Tom White, my step father was a career Lt in Cohoes Ny and shortly after he joined, in the late 80's, all new on coming members of the Union were told they'd be booted if they volunteered, he got around by having been on already, but they are still that way today. These rules usually depend on the local union leadership
