Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat. --F. Scott Fitzgerald
Fireground communications is often dysfunctional. Too much of the unimportant blocking out the important, and trying to talk the fire out. There are many individual issues and their causes, but really it is a systemic failure... Thoughts on this issue: instagram.com/p/B5IwSTdBg_n/…

Replying to @LASDHQ
To the protesters blocking the entrance & exit of the HOSPITAL EMERGENCY ROOM yelling "We hope they die" referring to 2 LA Sheriff's ambushed today in #Compton: DO NOT BLOCK EMERGENCY ENTRIES & EXITS TO THE HOSPITAL. People's lives are at stake when ambulances can't get through.
Moments ago, 2 of our Sheriff Deputies were shot in Compton and were transported to a local hospital. They are both still fighting for their lives, so please keep them in your thoughts and prayers. We will update this thread with information as it becomes available.

Little quality find on sunday’s adventures. Not for sale. Owned by a small VFD and still on the apparatus. #halligan #hughhalligan #halliganbar amazing to see one in person and still see it in service.

As I’m in this adventure of college, I was tasked with a proctored essay.... yes..... proctored.... ok anyways.... the professor provides us a group of quotes to chose from and argue. 🤔 So I picked these two, had fun with it, and will only become much more appreciated by prof*

This little guy’s mom said he has come by the firehouse everyday and the doors are always closed, he was so excited to see they were open and was able to see the fire trucks today. #community #fireservice #firehousetours
