That is awesome. I am glad you had the opportunity to experience it and write about it. We all…Read More should be more appreciative of our local fire fighters. I belong to our local CERT team and have assisted as victims during drills and have been on a couple of ride-alongs, and let me tell you those guys and gals are GOLD. Every time you have the opportunity to help your local fire department, do so and tell those brave men and woman how much you appreciate and value what they do.

Kudos to all of you for accepting the challenge to in order get an understanding of what it is…Read More really like to be in a burning building. Hollywood has never represented the experience with any accuracy, though with all due respect, complete blackness would not translate well onto the movie or TV screen.
Nice job also by Matt Schonhut. Glad to see that at least one city official is willing to get a taste of what our safety forces are up against. If the story is correct, it's a shame that no others came out to see what was happening, even if they did not go into the "fire" house.

Like my father & brother before me, I became a firefighter. I was an Air Force…Read More firefighter/crash- rescue specialist, then was a paid firefighter on the same hometown dept. from where my father had retired. Later, I was also a volunteer firefighter-lieutenant, and was seriously injured in a house fire. I am now fully and permanently disabled with a broken neck and its many secondary problems. Please support your firefighters, and don't take them for granted. The home, or life they save may be yours, or someone's you love.

Where's Jessie Jackson? This must all be the work of the white devil.

In cases like this I support police brutality. This is the jackass who should have been clubbed to…Read More death by cops, rather than the poor sucker in Sacramento who was beaten senseless for no apparent reason by a policewoman, then died afterward of an "unrelated" cause.

This guy was found incompetent to stand trial ...
BUT...
He was able to figure out how to dispose…Read More of this cyanide on his own - after he was informed that the drums could not be disposed of in the dumpster because of the dangerous contents.
He was able to realize he needed to dispose of the cyanide in a manner no one would trace it back to him, because he knew what he did was wrong.
He knew he needed to cover up any evidence of dumping this cyanide.
With all this knowledge, being fully competent in all this, he proceeded to move the 2 drums that would have incriminated him away from the location where he dumped the cyanide.
So, how is he incompetent?
Is he now residing in a nursing home?

I hope some lawyer fishermen sues them for denial of their recreation

waste of time whats next bubble wrap driving outfits ???
prove it >>> In 2009 alone, seat…Read More belts saved 12,713 lives nationwide.
so 38% wore their seat belts but died anyway >>> Of those who died in nighttime crashes in 2009, nearly two-thirds (62 percent) were not wearing seat belts

As a retired firefighter/paramedic here in Strongsville, I can say that the simple act of wearing…Read More seatbelts can save lives. Over the course of my career, I was on the scene of any number of serious accidents, such as rollovers, where seat-belt wearing occupants were able to walk away with minor injuries.
On the other hand, there have been a number of instances in which occupants not wearing seat belts were ejected from their vehicles and then pinned beneath their own vehicles.
Now, it would really be nice if the City of Strongsville would enforce this policy on their own employees: police and fire use seatbelts, but the city service department does not. Spotting a service department employee using a seatbelt is like a Bigfoot sighting: very rare.
