This went from a smell of gas to a catastrophic event injuring 9 f/f's, 2 civilians & killing 1 f/f. Be careful out there & never take anything for granted as a routine call. My condolences go out to the entire Loudoun County Fire Rescue.

Being a first responder in America can be dangerous due to a variety of factors. One reason is the nature of the job itself, which often involves responding to emergencies and crises where there is a high level of risk and uncertainty. First responders are often exposed to dangerous situations such as fires, accidents, violence, and natural disasters. Additionally, the availability of weapons and firearms in the United States can increase the danger faced by first responders. They may encounter situations where individuals are armed and pose a threat to their safety. Furthermore, the lack of mental health support and resources for first responders can also contribute to the dangers they face. The stress and trauma of the job can take a toll on their mental well-being, leading to issues such as PTSD, depression, and anxiety. Overall, being a first responder in America is a challenging and risky job that requires courage, resilience, and a strong support system. #firstresponders
Horrific tragedy in Burnsville, Minnesota with the murders of Officers Paul Elmstrand, Matthew Ruge, and Firefighter/Paramedic Adam Finseth who were shot and killed by a man at a domestic violence call. Their oath to serve took them in harm’s way and their selfless courage ensured they never hesitated to run toward the danger. We must #NeverForget.

Safety must be a top priority for all places of worship in today's world. By creating a secure environment, we not only protect congregants, visitors, and the facility itself, but we also foster a welcoming and inclusive community. It's important to note that increasing firearms without training is not a safe practice. Instead, investing in security training for staff and volunteers, implementing surveillance systems, and collaborating with local law enforcement to develop emergency response plans are all well-thought-out good practices to maintain. #safetyfirst #churchsecurity #emergencymanagement #emergencypreparedness

August is National Road Victim Month. Over the last decade, the number of people killed on Britain’s roads has stayed at more or less the same level year on year. Five people are killed every day, and over 60 are seriously injured: https://zurl.co/PV3w It's time we looked for ways to end this cycle, to make our roads safer, don't you agree? Here are the ways in which Octavius are building safer road networks: https://zurl.co/w2MO #RoadVictimMonth #RoadConstruction #HighwaySafety #RoadSafety #SaferRoads

Stay On Ship!(S.O.S.) We need to know who that anti-police Politician is. You see this is the pattern how they slip through the cracks. We have to reassess this mess. No this is not a woke agenda. The people who are doing this undermining found they couldn't win their agenda being outside anti system. What they are doing is a (Trojan Horse) scheme move they are slipping through the radar keeping a low profile becoming hired by the system. It gives them time to get inside learn the pros and cons and then flip the switch to shut the system down because now they can control from within!!!! We are not dealing with a woke we are challenged with Traitor Terrorist in the The Trojan Horse scheme pretending they were for the US until they gain access then it's Anti-American(Squad) then they replace our principles with their ideology and put the Communist and Marxist laws in place. The Warfare is Spiritual, Psychological, Emotional,Social, Economical, and Physical(Squatters) all the homeless people living here and we never heard a squatter could take over a property. All of a sudden this law appears and the illegals know the law is on the record . A person had to be the one working in the government to have that pushed. America We Have Work To Do To Take Our Land Back!!!!
New: FDNY Firefighters forced to remove “red line” flag from fire truck hung to memorialize their fallen brothers in 9/11 A politician in Alphabet City came by the fire house and confronted NY’s bravest for having the flag on their rig stating, "isn't that flag in support of the police?" They explained to him that it’s been on their rig for years and it's a part of our 9/11 Memorial as the flag flies next to their fallen brothers The politician contacted city officials and demanded it be taken down The very next morning a FDNY Division Chief shows up and told them it must come down and it is an order I repeat - NY firefighters were forced to take down a memorial for those that died on 9/11 What’s happened to NYC?! https://lnkd.in/e3RkrUPu #firefighters #firefighter #newyork #ny #firstrespomders
