Dear Member,

We cover plenty of serious topics in these parts, so we're happy to introduce the debut of our Firefighting Humor eNews, aimed at the lighter side of a very stressful profession. Humor has always been a big part of life at the fire station, and we hope to capture some of that madcap spirit here.

In this premiere issue, we've put together a collection of news stories for your enjoyment � some completely made up and others we wish were. We've also added some hilarious tales from the front from our resident humorist and our army of readers. Think you're funny and want to contribute to a future Humor eNews? Shoot us a note.
