Dear Member,

In this week's highlights, a firefighter was killed by the dog she'd owned for only a week while video showed a Chicago firefighter being rescued from a burning building after a floor collapse.

And be sure to check out the story of an FDNY firefighter who broke a window with his bare hands to rescue a woman, one of our most popular Facebook stories.

Top Comments of the Week

"Does this mean, as a firefighter, I can go to the officer's superior and have him reprimanded for kicking in a door of a burning building because he isn't protected by any PPE?"
�Kurk Haddix in response to Cops order neighbor to end garden-hose firefight, then Taser him

"First question: 20 and Asst. Chief? If the passenger was sober, why did he not pull up his big boy pants and take over the wheel while his Asst. Chief was inside? I don't see this being settled; there are just too many wrongs going on here and nothing adds up."
