Dear Member,

In this week's highlights, an off-duty firefighter saved the life of a 3-year-old boy, while the Baltimore Fire Department implemented a strict social media policy — one that may tread on freedom of speech.

And be sure to check out the story of how a Conn. mayor relied on his firefighter roots during Superstorm Sandy rescues, one of our most popular Facebook stories.
