We would like to wish a very happy and safe July 4th Independence Day to all of our viewers from the United States of America in celebration for our freedom.

Be safe...

Sincerely,

The Battalion Crew

Battalion Members, our current and brand new show is with the Fresno Fire Department for 12 hours with the crew from Truck 11 from Snake for Dinner to a Vehicle Extrication where two police offices are pinned in their cruiser and the jaws are brought out to save a life...

Be safe out there this summer...

Hi there Battalion Members, we are attempting to keep you informed as to where we will be filming and broadcasting over the Summer, we start filming with the Calaveras Consolidate Fire Department starting 24/7 on July 9th. 

We will be filming at four new locations in the coming months and we will get better at keeping you in the loop.

Our Training Channel returns with LIVE broadcasts on July 12th, more on that in the coming weeks. 

Have a safe day,

The Battalion Production Crew

A Father is a person who is loving and kind,
And often he knows what you have on your mind.
He's someone who listens, suggests, and defends.
A Father can be one of your very best friends!
He's proud of your triumphs, but when things go wrong,
A Father can be patient and helpful and strong
In all that you do, a Fathers's love plays a part.
There's always a place for him deep in your heart.
And each year that passes, you're even more glad,
More grateful and proud just to call him your dad!

137 years later, Memorial Day remains one of America's most cherished patriotic observances.

The spirit of this day has not changed - it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy.

Doc Hastings

Battalion Members and Viewers,

We are continuing with the development of our Training Channel, if you see the times and dates change for the Trainers, we are still working out the kinks. 

What we are trying to accomplish at this time, is to bring you LIVE Training with Eight of our Trainers to give you access to their knowledge 24/7. 

We raely report on the loss of firefighters, so many of the publications do such a great job, but in this case it's close to home, it was a firefighter from Prince Georges County Fire / EMS in Maryland, a department we consider home. 

Smoke-eater John Ulmschneider, 39, died after the shooting in the Washington D.C. suburb of Temple Hills around 7:30 p.m.

Firefighter Ulmschneider was shot dead and another was seriously injured after a suspect fired on them during a medical emergency call.

Tonights a brand NEW show is with the Edmonton Airport Fire Department as their Fire Chief Burl Hamm shows us around the airport and his new ARFF Truck, then a call comes in; smoke showing. The engine company is out the door and off the airport to a fire at a commercial building in their 1st due. Pass the word, The Battalion is back!

This is our second show with Calaveras Fire Consolidated District in Californa. This Department is a combination Department and this show will show you a Chief doing all he can to keep his department staffed with quality and well trained Firefighters. The Chief is  very involved witht the California State Firefighters Association that creats great training opportunities for its volunteers across the State. This Chied is all about safety and training. At this event they offered LIVE Fire Training, Ventalation and Forceable Entry, you should check it out. 

Just a standard day at the office, vehicles crashing, roll-overs, some rope training, rack some new Combat Ready Line for testing and sit down to chow, just another day at Station 47 with the crew of Rescue 47.
