Kentland's Back this Friday at 5:00PM PST

Tulefog — Wed, 07/16/2008 - 22:26
I'm sure some of you have seen the press about Kentland...don't always believe what the press tells you..
Don't believe what you read nor judge them from a tape from four years ago...no one knows the circumstances of that day...many departments have gotten in trouble for much worse and many have never been caught from way back when, when everyone could not afford a camera or have a phone with a built in camera. Could you imagine if cameras were around back...let's say twenty years ago...
Remember..I'm the guy with the camera and I shoot reality.
I spent two weeks with these guys in May and all I saw was volunteers with a lot of hustle.
This is a department that receives awards for saving lives every year.
These are guys that work a 24 for another department and then come and work for three days sometimes, and then go back for a 24 with their fire company.
I dont' want to say what I saw while filming, but if Kentland Tower 33 didn't show up on scene, this two story house would have gone off...enough said.
I'll be in Baltimore at the Firehouse Expo next Friday and have plans to continue to film with D.C. Fire and EMS for several weeks after the Expo. I will keep you in the loop...
We are announcing our partnership with Fire Rescue Magazine, www.fire-rescue.com, where you can find a selection of our webisdoes. I will be at their booth on Friday afternoon if anyone wants to come by and ask any questions.
If you want those free downloads, tell manufactures that you know to sponsor it .
THE TEE SHIRTS ARE HERE!!!
GET TWENTY-FIVE FRIENDS TO BECOME BATTALION MEMBERS AND GET A FIRST EDTION BATTALION TEE-SHIRT as our first gift. We are bringing the number down to make it easier, fifty was way too many...Email your list and if they sign up we'll email you and ask for your size and ship it to you.
I will have a picture of the shirt on our site as soon as possible. We are still trying to find the time to set up a way for you to buy them. We only have 100 shirts, so if you want one send us an email through our CONTACT on our home page.
We are still working on the DVD's but I'm sure they will not be availible until late August when I return from production in DC.
Stay safe.

Dave, I understand your
mward0 — Sat, 07/19/2008 - 13:34Dave, I understand your point.
Michael Heller, a professional photographer with a fire service background rode along in 2006, he provided a different opinion:
http://home.gwu.edu/~mikeward/06Kentland.pdf
I wrote about the Kentland ambulance battle last year. As a former live-in member of another PG station "back in the day" - and colleagues that two-hat at 33 - I have some perspective on who they are and what they do:
http://home.gwu.edu/~mikeward/Ward_A339.pdf
This case study also shows some of the reasons why Kentland goes to so many structure fires.
Let me share two opinions:
1) The video was probably leaked to the local news outlets as part of a civil suit filed by PGFD employees against KVFD members for violence and reckless endangerment on the fireground. This evolved from the 2006 criminal charges filed against KVFD members after a fireground assault was captured on video. The KVFD volunteer lieutenant was, at that time, working at DCFD Tower 3. The county declined to pursue the criminal procecution and dropped the charges, the civil suit is a continuation of the complaint.
2) When considering how to prepare for my first fire officer promotional exam, I explored going back to PG in the 1980's to increase my experiences as a two-hatter. I decided not to because, while MANY companies in southern PG county go to a lot of emergencies, there remained a chaotic incident management system. Each fire station functioned as a free-agent on the fireground.
I am sure you had an exciting time filming at 33 and I agree you probably saw more action there than other places. If you read Jerry Engle's book, you know that he documented the in-your face, free agent, "33 and no other" approach to all elements. Sorta hard to believe they are part of an urban county fire/rescue organization with 44 fire stations and 750 uniformed PGFD career personnel.
Mike Ward
See you at the Firehouse Expo

Hi Mike, Thank you so much
Tulefog — Sat, 07/19/2008 - 13:41Hi Mike,
Thank you so much for responding. I am trying not to get into the politics at any location I shoot in and all of the locations where I have shot so far have issues. I have received emails from both sides as it were.
I would like to see all of PG County Fire and EMS drop the attitude and try to remember this is a brotherhood of like none other. No one knows when someone will be in a situation that they may need someone they don't know to cover their backs. Maybe an old fashion picnic with baseball and a boxing ring.
I was invited to Kentland by the Chief such as I was invited to Washington D.C. by the Chief. Some other PG firefighters have invited me and I recently emailed them back to see if I can possible fit them in on my next production week after next.
What I would need is their Chiefs to contact me and invite me and then I would do more of a PG County thing if at all possible within my very tight budget and weekly production schedule.
I do not want to be one sided in any way, shape, or form...I'm just a producer with a camera and not a saver of lives...
Do you have my cell to contact me at Firehouse Expo? If not, please contact me via our Contact on our home page.
Be safe out there.
Sincerely,
David

Shaw's response to the recent
wwwmm — Tue, 01/10/2012 - 02:04Shaw's response to the recent talksport he spit slot and the so-called "in the shirt hidden under the towel" question. He in stoke a team of ice, help the team winning the game three-then he found himself behind as the model of the British football.
23 years old was born of small fenton reaction, on Friday on the radio, but hear talksport presided over Adrian nastase-drew ham with XiaoKe rose to his vomit slot, said if the British young people with stoke the straight to draw the dozen of training, Cheap jerseys
then England football is not saved. The host and then announced that, just wait, stoke city will meet in the Spanish giants valencia let the British empire to shame the football-yes, that is the champions league cup 32 strong knockout.
For shaw is something at the tone, but considering the team in the premiership has climbed to eighth, and in 37 years later return to Europe 10 games only a variety of negative, these words are set aside. From stoke youth grow up at shaw said they were in Virginia similarities in Britain shape without any problems. Shaw was not the kind of monotonous player, he played in the youth team is central defender and his team in a began playing right-back, then become right back, midfielder right and sometimes guest star center.
"I listen to someone said I XiaoKe Ross here is not BenTou......." He said, "but if you in the premiership, no one is only rely on their own and they grow, you watched around so many great players, playing one side, the side of learning, this is great....... You see, to which position I play, I can play which position, this is the coach of the guidance here. Everyone seems to have different ideas, someone to spit slot, that literally him, I was in the team will continue to do my own thing."
Shaw's tonight in the Manchester city game to get the opportunity to learn. On Saturday he in the starting line-up, play midfielder right road, he then to move back to right-back, but he just kept forward runs, Cheap nfl jerseys
you may remember him on Stephen hunt play when a fork wear.
However, he now must also accept, his most widely mention of contents be: Germany generally successor, grenades the second generation. He used to dry the ball sweater caused some saliva, after Germany generally was wearing such a terry underwear. In the World Cup the referee graham-law enforcement Bohr says, if is his words, he will be at the behavior of shaw licensing, because his use of clothing shirt involved in the way "of the villagers behavior". And stoke argued that this is not in violation of regulations, they say there is no law that players with the underwear of god horse material is made, Nfl youth jerseys as long as the mass-tone attune of the match with jersey can.
Against wolves, shaw's casting wipe the ball before every time, their fans shout "irritated dead, irritated dead." He said: "I don't mind, this also is a kind of fair interference-they just a little envy, I am not they there." He is more concerned he was pointed out that wear vest illegal. "Some people tell me, is that a towel, someone to delve into this, I can say that this is a T-shirt just, period."
Stoke also very clear on a towel is can't protect them from the state of full Manchester city home undefeated. If they want to third mancini's leaders, they want to take out the don't lose their four straight state. Shaw's added: "it was a great game, we will play a good game, let them suffer, and see our ability."
