What is on your "To Do" List in 2025?
We are bringing our A-game to the New Year with more fire-related news, happenings, job announcements, live coverage (of incidents in progress), and some of our favorite "wildfire, structure, disaster, etc. incidents."
We will be looking for any type of training opportunities (to write about & photograph):
1. Every 15 Minutes or similar Mock DUI crash at a local H.S. program that includes all aspects, Fire, Police, and Dispatch. (we would be an observer out of the way)
2. Training House Burn (s).
3. Training Drill with multiple agencies (was an observer for mock training in Shoreline FD for a bomb on a school bus, with large MCI, and observer for a public transit bus with an explosion).
4. Emergency Management TOPOFF ( used to be part of the RCECC EOCST team and volunteered for TOPOFF exercises).
5. Fire aircraft base tour(s) (our favorites are Moses Lake Tanker Base and the WA DNR Ellensburg area). We will be happy to travel to wherever, even to Redding, California, or the State of Oregon!
We want to bring your skills, experience, resources, tools, and everything to light & showcase your expertise. We also like providing some educational icing on the cake too!
Here is a little collage of some of our own skills.
