Dear Member,

In this week's highlights, seven firefighters were injured in a 3-alarm N.J. blaze, while volunteer firefighters in Pa. were forced to watch a home burn when they were banned from firefighting.

And be sure to check out the story of a firefighter going beyond the call of duty by resuscitating a crash victim while he was off-duty, one of our most popular Facebook stories.
