Dear Member,

In this week's highlights, a Detroit paramedic says he was punished for giving a man a blanket while responding to a fire, and the former commissioner of the Philly FD called the handling of a blaze that killed two firefighters "disgraceful."

And don't miss the video of firefighters resuscitating a beloved family pet that was trapped in a house fire, one of our most popular Facebook posts.
