Big City Big Problems, Chicago FD, Confessions, Good Chiefs.

Recently the Chicago Fire Department dropped a monster policy change regarding first due operations at residential dwellings.  Uproar was easy to find online but we take closer look and see what the new guidelines actually mean. Firefighters hate change, but also the way things are so we'll see how this one turns out.

Tailboard Confessions are back and this time Angie and I are providing the fodder.  There are just some jobs that we won't do at the fire station and they happen to be the easiest ones. And yes, I'll be taking the garbage out or standing there with the broom.  

Also, a couple of the local fire departments had a nightmare week with several fatal accidents and tough calls.  Their Chiefs stepped up and wrote a letter to the public that caught Angies eye.  They provided a look at some great leadership and how to build a strong group of firefighters.
