    Class Action Lawsuit Filed Against Fire Apparatus manufacturers.

    Outstanding. This will take several years to come to trial. If the evidence discovered proves collusion, conspiracy and proof of price fixing and market control, the US DOJ should then indict the CEOs for criminal enterprise and racketeering...

    Detective Shot 8/22/2025

    And the perp had 21 prior arrests. Including 1 two days ago. This is what the majority of NYC residents want. Wait til the next mayor gets in. If you really want to be a cop there are PLENTY of other departments to hitch your wagon to: many of which don’t have a city tax or a state income tax.

    House Explosion, Albemarle County, Virginia

    Well said. The fire service in general has become very lax and complacent with gas leaks. Even when LEL meters are screaming at us that there is an explosion potential present we seem to be lax. The recent explosion in Loudon County VA was a perfect example. FF’s entered a house with gas...

    Propane will in many cases completely flatten a house. Many past events have proven so. Google Loudon County firefighter killed in gas explosion. This occurred about two years ago. The propane company tech was just convicted of manslaughter.
