San Bernardino fire fighters surrendered to protect and preserve sanctity and safety. The inadequate fire fund caused an exodus of personnel mitigating the respond time from two to nineteen minutes. The mismanagement devastated City Fire that they had no alternative but to exit and have county fire reign. The 137 year legacy of honor, trust, and loyalty will not be erased but remembered with vigor. From my perspective, the boom on consultants and administrators was at the expense of vital fire and community services. Let me just say that fire was a threat because they voiced a strong opinion how residents are ignored and millions squandered. I understand that this is a tricky/ delicate/taboo topic, but the panic initiated a design to exit…

This video provided both a horrific description of the fire, and also a lot of interesting background leading up to the fire. In fact, most of the documentary was about the business, social, and political environment surrounding the fire. So, I will spend more time discussing what I learned from the environment, but I certainly will consider the fire and its impact as well.…
They are on call at all hours. They get pulled out of their warm, safe beds in the middle of the night to respond to fires, crashes, floods and other emergencies. They venture out in all kinds of weather, blizzards, torrential downpours, unbearable heat. They save people lives in many cases, the lives of people who are not exactly innocent victims, whose foolishness puts their own and others lives in danger. They are quite simply heroes, typically unassuming regular folks, many of whom are not paid a cent for their sacrifices. Firefighters.…

As I make my way out of my dirt road, I can feel the adrenaline racing through my body. The excitement and nervousness runs through me, knowing that my first call as a volunteer firefighter was for a structure fire.…

Mt. Iriga or also known as Mt. Asog, a 1,470 meters high volcano is one of the major mountains in the Bicol Region. Lying near the City of Iriga in Camarines Sur, this inactive volcano offers a breath-taking view of the southern mountains including Mt Isarog on the northern side of the mountain, Mt. Mayon , Mt. Malinao and Mt. Masaraga on the southern side. And if the weather is clear, you can also see Catanduanes and the Lagonoy Gulf farther south. The well renowned Buhi Lake is also located at the foot of this mountain. Buhi Lake is home to the indigenous "Sinarapan" or "Tabios" the world’s smallest commercial fish. But because of the introduction of other varieties of fishes particularly the Tilapia, the Sinarapan currently faces treats of extinction. This in-active volcano, in ancient times was known as Mt. Asog after an Agta chieftain that ruled the region. The local people also call this volcano Mt. Sumagang which means "Mountain of the Rising Sun." On the Buhi side, Mt. Iriga appears scarred because of a cavernous gully, which is actually a collapsed crater left after a violent eruption in 1641. The trek to the mountain is not that strenuous and can be made in one day. But the trek can be exhausting once the sun is up since the trails are exposed. Be prepared for the tall grasses like that of Talamitam, Sembrano & Kalisungan. From the checkpoint at Brgy. Ilian, the trek to the campsite can take around 2 to 2½ hours, and from the campsite, it will only be about 20 to 30 minutes to one of the peaks of Asog. The view of the crater and the knife-edges are a feast to one’s eye. At night, the view of the city lights below is…
