Dear Member,

In this week's highlights, a new video with a startling twist debuted in the UK hoping to teach the importance of first-aid, and three firefighters were injured in a bonfire explosion, one receiving burns on up to 10 percent of his body.

And lastly, be sure to check out the story of first responders throwing a baby shower for the wife of their colleague after he was killed in a car accident, one of our most popular Facebook stories.

Top Comments of the Week

"People are too critical sometimes. Let them relish in the fact that they were not injured in what could have been a bad MVA. I can't say that I wouldn't have been doing just about the same."

"Two wrongs don't make a right. We as firefighters are held to a higher standard of conduct. As a father, I can most definitely understand his frustration, but he displayed a lack of self-control and discretion. Let this be a lesson learned to all of us."
A?a��a�?Shawn Ainsworth in response to Facebook post that prompted firefighter's resignation surfaces
