Hey,

A Los Angeles man who was DUI was killed today when he slammed into a stopped/blocking Los Angeles County FD engine company on the 105 Freeway. Delaron Hines’ 2011 Toyota slammed into the back of the engine that had stopped in the third eastbound lane to help put out a vehicle fire. Mr. Hines’ car failed to stop to avoid a collision, crashed, was then was taken to the hospital where he was declared dead at 0339 hours but thankfully no Firefighters were injured.

 

 

AND IN EDMONTON, CANADA:

A fiery crash near Valleyview did so much damage to one vehicle that police can’t tell what the vehicle was or how many people were killed when it crashed with an oilfield fire apparatus.  The two vehicles struck head-on on Highway 43 around 0700 this morning east of Grande Prairie. The Firefighter driving the five-ton cube van, outfitted with firefighting equipment, survived the crash as he was forced to cut himself out of his seatbelt to get out of the wreck. He was not hurt but due to the severity of the crash and a subsequent fire, police are still unable to confirm the vehicle type and number of occupants connected to that second vehicle.

 

ARREST IN PA DEATH THREAT AGAINST A FIREFIGHTER: "Get out of the car. I’m going to kill you"

A 2 car crash involving a Willow Grove Fire Co. SUV escalated to assault when the driver of the other car punched out the window of the SUV and threatened to kill the Assistant Fire Chief.

Robert Snowden-Mosby, 24, of Philadelphia, was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, terroristic threats and related offenses following the Monday night incident.

Assistant Chief Brian Focht of the Willow Grove Fire Co., sustained cuts to his face, head, left elbow and right leg as a result of the shattered window. Chief Focht drove to a nearby police officer, who brought the allegedly irate Snowden-Mosby under control by threatening to shock him with a Taser.

FIRE SERVICES CUT AS CITY BUDGETS SHRINK-MUTUAL AID ALSO NOW A FACTOR

Below is a piece of interest. In addition to covering East to West cut issues, but it also identifies that when some areas cut, other areas are making in clear that mutual aid must be mutual. Check it out HERE:

CANADIAN FIREFIGHTER PUNISHED FOR LOWERING FLAG TO HONOR 9/11

A British Columbia Firefighter who wanted to honor the sacrifice of the Firefighters killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks has been punished for lowering the Canadian flag outside his firehouse to mark that anniversary. The City of Langley confirmed that disciplinary action had been taken against the firefighter, whose name has not been released. They do plan to work together in the future so this doesn’t happen again.
