Dear Member,

In this week's highlights, a lawmaker wants the FDNY to reverse its policy and let firefighters keep their outmoded helmets for free, while federal authorities arrested the owner of a furniture store where two firefighters were killed earlier this year.

And lastly, a firefighter hopes his new invention will prevent LODDs — one of our most popular posts on Facebook.

"Chief Thiel makes a very good point regarding state procurement laws. The public demands our accountability for their tax dollars, but on the other hand, if it's their family that needs the 'blanket,' there is no cost or accountability."
