The Good Old Days (what was so good about them?)
Tuesday, May 17th, 2011
by Jack McLoughlin
The fire service has progressed tremendously in the years that I have had the pleasure to serve. I think my department, which I love, is typical of many suburban departments in North America. The changes in training, apparatus, the ability to perform tasks in a professional manner, and leadership is nothing short of incredible. I clearly remember my first day in the fire service. I was asked if I could drive a truck. I said sure. They had me drive the truck around the fire district, stopping to pump the truck two or three times. When we got back to the station, they told me I was qualified to be a driver and a pump operator. I was amazed because I knew that I knew nothing about fire fighting and pumping. But that was the level of training in
those days.

commentary articlesNew LED Lighting movie
Wednesday, May 11th, 2011
John finished up another one of his great overview movies and this time he goes over our new LED lighting offerings. This 7 minute video provides a lot of real-world images so you can really see why FRC lighting is the superior product. It also does a great job of describing the differences in the various lighting products we offer and how they can be used on apparatus – if you’re looking into specifying LED lighting definitely take a few minutes to watch this one!
