Battalion Viewers,

Tonight is the last installment of our Rescue Mini-Series.

We end this series with the rescue of a man trapped in his vehicle. The crew of Engine 12 try to use an older rescue tool system that fails and San Diegos Rescue team arrives on scene with their Amkus System to quickly and saftly remove thier patient.

Next week; we begin our three week training mini series with mandatory daily training with San Diego Fire Rescue, very few on this department are out of shape...

Be safe.

Sincerely,

DRF

Dear Battalion Viewers,

The real webisode #28 is now ready for your viewing on both PCs and Apples. Once again, our  "ISP had problems that we could not resolve.

This webisode is the first of three that focus on Rescue...next week you will see San Diego Fire Rescue at work...

We are thinking about changing webisode release nights to Fridays or Mondays. A day during the week when we can contact our ISP and make sure that we are on time on the day that we announce the release of each webisode.

This has been a problem for months and we are also looking for a new ISP with 24/7 service.

Most networks that do a weekly only deliver ten or twelve shows, we do a weekly and have now delivered almost 100 shows "webisodes" so I think we are doing pretty good. ...Read more

Dear Battalion Viewers.

• Webisode #27: This is one of the biggest fires I have filmed since I started in 2003 with the San Francisco Fire Department.

Webisode #27 is the Hayes Street Fire with Washington D.C. Fire and EMS and it is now availible. I was keeping this show and the next show in reserve in case we got a television deal and it seems that will not happen.

I still find it amazing that the Discovery Channel will not to a series about Firefighters in any way, shape, or form; and we have met with them on three occasions...amazing and sad. ...Read more

Dear Battalion Viewer,

This is the picture of firefighter from Ladder Truck 9 at the fire at 2:30AM, Engine 30 was also on-scene and you will see photos of them later and you will see them all in an upcoming webisdoe.

Be safe.

Sincerely,

DRF

Dear Battalion Viewers,

I have only been filming for two days and caught two fires. This photo is from a Milwaukee Fire from Truck 9 on the roof of a residential fire that has been listed as possible arson.

Engine 30 was on-scene at both fires and I am currently with Engine 30 for the next 24/7.

Last night was the first live feed. I was with Air Supply from Engine 3/Dive Team, Air Supply in the Downtown area and we supplied air bottles for the firefighters on scene.

More to come...we just got a call.

Be safe...

Sincerely,

DRF

Dear Battalion Viewers,

I am in Milwaukee Wisconsin filming with the Milwaukee Fire Department and tonight is our first Battalion Live Feed for Battalion Members. I am in hopes of doing a live feed for one-hour each night from differant locations.

Tonight, I am with Engine 3 and the Water Rescue Team. They did some pool training today and next week I will be filming training on the Ice...more to come.

Be safe.

Sincerely,

DRF
