Dear Member,

In this week's highlights, the Forest Service released a report that detailed a firefighter's dramatic bucket rescue by a wildfire pilot flying overhead, and video surfaced of an off-duty firefighter fighting with two women that will finally get a full investigation more than a year after the incident.

Lastly, check out the story about a gunned down LEO who was also a volunteer firefighter and EMT, one of our most popular Facebook stories.

Top Comments of the Week

"Agreed that hitting a police officer or firefighter is a bad choice. There are too many escalated clashes between authorities and public these days that go far beyond sensible tolerance. The best emergency service people are those who operate with cool heads."

"Jeannine came from Largo Fire as a company officer. She takes her job extremely seriously. I'm surprised to hear this. Got to be more to the story."
