The Secret List is an independent newsletter produced since 1998 by Chief Billy Goldfeder in an effort to bring forward the issues involving injury and death to us...often issues that are ignored, quickly forgotten or just not talked about.

TSL is e-mailed at no charge and produced as time allows. With the attitude that in order for us to survive the dangers of the job, they must learn how we have had "Close Calls" and even been injured or killed, TSL brings forward issues in an effort to enforce that philosophy-and get us to refocus on "what's important."

Hey...
A Toronto Deputy Fire Chief faces a charge under Ontario's strict street racing law after the fire department vehicle he was driving clocked 150 kilometres per hour on a highway last week.
The cops say the vehicle was impounded for 7 days and Deputy Chief Daryl Fuglerud's license was suspended for a week on Friday after the red TFD Toyota Highlander he was driving heading eastbound in Port Hope was spotted by an aircraft patrol unit around 0926 Hours.
Acting Chief of Dept Frank Lamie said D/C Fuglerud was on vacation at the time and on his way to the funeral of a retired member of the service. He said the chief, deputies and division commanders are assigned vehicles and ``use them all the time.'' The D/C was issued a summons to appear in court on August 5th.
 
 
ATTORNEY SERVICES:
For you Chiefs, Fire Officers and Firefighters who have been challenged by other Firefighters and Fire Officers that may not fully understand why they DO NOT want to have a serious "responding" fire apparatus or emergency vehicle crash, here is a page from a law firm that specializes in vehicle related issues.
In particular, this law firm has an entire section of their website focused on emergency vehicle drivers... for civilians. In other words, they are focused on representing those citizens who may get hurt by us.
http://www.scarlettlawgroup.com/trucking-accidents/california-personal-injury-lawyers/emergency-vehicles.html
While worrying about a powerful law firm coming after any of us professionally or personally following a crash shouldn't be the primary motivation to use caution while responding, it certainly is one motivation. While the primary motivation should be that we do no harm and we get there...to put...water on the fire or handle the reported emergency, it may not always be. Maybe the "attorney" part will help us "get it".
Take Care-BE CAREFUL,
BillyG
