This website is full of information about Firefighting. It has bloggs, careers and scholarship information. On top of that it has its own magazine. This webpage will help me out if I get caught in a bind and cant find any other websites. The amount of information it covers is spectacular; just on the front page there are over 15 incidents displayed. Then the site also covers a news and multi media page. This will be a great resource to look back at.

The blogg by Doug, Cline is very helpful. In the article he discuss how he has had a chance to visit many regions. To see how their fire stations operate. Well he was at each station he would take the opportunity to ask them if there is anything they would like to freshen up on. Many of them said they would like to touch up on the basics. Doug asked why and one crew said they had a incident where one firefighter was alone in the fire because no one followed the wall through the fire like their post to. This is important because if the basics are forgot a lot can go wrong.

The Mind and Body work out article. This article is pretty helpful in the field of firefighting. It explains how yoga can be a benefit of us. Yoga helps the body stretch its breath and be flexible. In fires this can be a big help because many firefighters are put in positions that they cant stand to be in for long. Also when carrying these heavy hoses and ladders a muscle can be easily pulled. With yoga this can be stopped.

Wikipedia is a great resource for anything. It is full of information that can be used in my essay. It talks about when firefighting earned its title as Firefighter instead of the old term Firemen and that is because when woman joined they couldn’t call women firemen. It also explains the important incidents that have happened in the pass that have struck are hearts with a dark sharp pain. This page really knows it all about firefighting.
