Shouting Fire on a Website

From the dryly professional US National Fire Protection Agency (who write the US national electrical code among other things), to the 1998-ish web stylings of The 911 Site portal page, there's a lot of fire/firefighter related content on the web. From the National Association for Search and Rescue (NASAR) to a fansite for US Army firefighters and rigs to a site for World fire departments. You might enjoy reading the fire truck crew blog at Vent Enter Search, which includes sections on tips and tools that are fun reading for tool nerds. Find yourself worried about your own tendencies towards clutter? [previously on the blue and green] You can read up a bit on "Collyer mansions" -- a term used by some firefighters to refer to really incredibly densely cluttered homes. Lots of kids (not just boys) want to grow up to be able to pass the firefighter exam and become a brother or sister of the firefighter family. After you pass, you can think about safety-related behaviors so you can avoid making mistakes and make sure everyone goes home. And after everyone comes home alive, put your pictures and videos on the internet for the rest of us to enjoy: http://firefighterclosecalls.com/closecalls.php, http://www.firefighterspot.com/, and http://bestfirefightervideo.com/ are a few to get you started after you poke around on youtube.

You Gotta Love Those New York Firemen Or "How Cartman's Fireman Suddenly Took On A Whole New Meaning". Just to show there is always an upside to everything, it seems some Manhattan girls are doing their bit for their country and enjoying themselves into the bargain. Hey, is this the spirit or what?
