August 2009
Dear Battalion Viewers:
The five-day-old wildfire burning out of control in the foothills of the Los Angeles forest has claimed its first victims today, two firefighters whose vehicle plummeted off the side of a road.
The crew of the Battalion Series send their condolences to the families of these firefighters and pray for the safety of all first responders on-scene.
We are thankful that the cut-backs in the California budgets have not restricted the efforts of all departments involved in the fighting of this and all fires currently blazing in our home state.
We are not a news agency and our currently not filming with any of the departments involved, so we will not have any coverage of this devastating wildfire...we wish we could.
Please be safe out there...
Sincerely,
DRF

We are finding it harder and harder every day to be properly prepaired for lies ahead. As the change in the economy each dept find their finacial values and the overal miney they have to spend to disappear. Dosnt matter weither or not its something small or a large peace of equipment. Money concerns have been closing stations and relaeasing many jobs as cut backs. Is there a way. Unfortunately many more deptarments are pushing towards fundraisers but...does it work and is it effective in the current times?

One of the cool prizes: the FoxFury Helmet Light: I have personally tested the Helmet Light System and it's killer. In the last show, I used it on my helmet to light up inside the house where you see the first responders at work doing the overhaul...love it.
