Future plans

In the future I am planning on creating links to the various sites that have information to the great disasters of history and some of the larger fires. These will include the Texas City Texas explosion, 9/11 attacks, the Hartford Circus fire, Coconut Grove fire, Iroqouis Theater Fire, and the Great Chicago Fire to name a few. I will be listing the dates and death totals and location of the larger natural and man made disasters of the past for reference purposes. If you have an idea of what to write about or questions feel free to email me.

IAFF History Website

The IAFF has a website dedicated to the History of the IAFF and contains some good pictures and information. There are some pictures of some guys from the Roanoke City Fire Department where I work.

Triangle Shirt Waist Factory Fire

I found another great link to this fire I thought I would add to this blog. The authors have done a wonderful job in research and provide a bunch of pictures to view and behind the scenes information that shows the fire from several sides and discusses the issues at hand during the time period. Check it out in the link on the right side of the page.

Links

I am striving to make a list of links to quality websites that will not infect your computer with viruses or make a problem for you. I will try to include photos and other tidbits of informaiton for anyone to use. Look for future posts, increasing in depth and quality, and the links page.

History additions

I am currently attempting to gather and add more historical data both from Roanoke Fire EMS department and from around the country.
