!['It is with deep regret and much sadness to inform our Brotherhood of the passing today of one of our greats.
Our heartfelt thoughts, prayers and well-wishes come from around the world to the family, friends and colleagues of Dublin Fire Brigade Firefighter/Paramedic and Honorary Member of the FDNY, Ian "Frodo" McCormack, Bdg:- 1170, B-Watch.
"Brotherhood of Fire" helped cover the story of true Brotherhood last October 2015 when Frodo achieved a life dream and became an honorary FDNY Firefighter:

Ian had a long and hard fight with wicked cancer but with amazing strength and his beautiful spirit, at every opportunity… he put a smile on the faces of all those around him.
“Frodo” has been an inspiration for Ireland Movember every year.
Rest easy Frodo, we have the watch.

Ohio Municipal League has their "lobbying" connections... the "Brotherhood" has our own.
Let's expose Susan and out ALL the people who would rather see Firefighters die from cancer than pay for the much needed life-saving treatments and health care.
"They" will eventually read this post... please let them know how you feel about this issue.

!['Interior Attack vs. "Hitting it Hard from the Yard"
“There's more than one way to fight the same fire.
Staffing, ability level of the staff, amount of the readily available water are just a few factors in attack decisions.
Hitting hard from the yard is not the only option.”

!['Firefighters...
are at the same time the luckiest and most tormented of souls.
For they witness the best, and the worst humanity has to offer.
If you see a Firefighter, please smile, wave and even best... thank them for what they do.
Simple, sincere and grateful words is one of our best rewards.

!['"I walk a line, a thin red line that few will ever understand.
It's a thin line filled with blood, sweat, heartache, pain and lots of tears.
It can be rewarding, and it can also be sadly tragic.
I walk a line where brothers and sisters stand side-by-side, arms reached over each other’s shoulders confidently assured that it’s our meaningful bond that holds this line.
That thin line can be damaged, bent, scratched, taken for granted and even forgotten about.
But that line, that thin red line is always there and will always and forever prevail.
Although it can sometimes be burnt, it will never be tore down or completely destroyed… neither by man nor nature.
It’s a thin red line that burns deep within the hearts of young and old firefighters and at some point has affected everyone’s life.
Not many will ever truly understand this line.
Few have ever walked it. Most never will.
So until you have walked a mile on that line, please empathize and don't criticize.
We walk on a line, a thin line… a thin red line."

What is your least favorite thing about the Fire Service today?
Shame on MIchigan !!!
The State of Michigan can find money for any other project they want but somehow can't seem to find money to take care of firefighters who are dying in the line of duty.
