Dear Member,

In this week's highlights, a Calif. firefighter is in cricital condition after suffering a heart attack while fighting a three-alarm blaze, and five firefighters were suspended while the department investigates if they paid for sex in their firehouse.

And be sure to check out the story of a father and son duo who rescued over 120 people in just 12 hours during Hurricane Isaac, one of our most popular Facebook stories.

Top Comments of the Week

"I am a retired police officer, but in this instance, I have to side with the fire chief. I think the officer was in the wrong. If anything he should have offered his assistance to the fire department."
�Neil Kessler in response to NJ firefighter and police go to court over traffic ticket

"Total overreaction! They did nothing wrong. Firefighters have been posing for 'Hunk-n-Ladders' calendars, in various states of undress (in turnout gear) for years! Now somebody is offended!"
�David P. Strawn in response to Fla. fire chief cracks down after 'risque' behavior
