Our New Show tonight, Meet Calaveras Consolidated Fire

Battalion Viewers, people as how we pick departments to film? First of all, all of the Departments where we film find us, we learn about them and then decide why they may be a good department to film. As you know, we are not about the fires nor the patients, we are about the men and women on-the-job. The Calaveras Cosolidated Fire District is a new and young department with the normal growing pains, it's what they are doing with those pains that make this a good series with some great story.

Filming for the Firefighters Cancer Support Network with Boston Fire

Our involvement with the Firefighters Cancer Support has just begun, and we are very excited to be a part of it all due to the direction of Chief Bobby Halton from the Pennwell Fire Group when we were asked to film their Awards Gala here in Los Angeles a few weeks back with awards going to some of the people that have supported this great organizaion, such as Cheif Halton.

LIVE Broadcast today at 2:00PM EST with PIO Mark Brady from P.G. Co. Fire/EMS

Battalion viewers, we have been plagued with technical problems and our Trainers have been learning to use Ustream for their broadcasts, that is when Ustream is working correctly, yesterday it was not. TODAY, we try again, with Prince Geoges County Fire/EMS PIO Mark Brady will take about the job of the PIO and thier current webisode. We have been testing all morning, we hope this one goes smoother, this will be the last broadcast for 2015. Be safe.

Today, November 19 - 11:00AM PST- LIVE with Mark Brady - PIO for Prince Georges County Fire/EMS

A recent mass casualty crash claimed the life of 3 adults and 2 children. A female lost her unborn child and 13 others were critically injured. PIO lessons learned and refreshed. 

Editors Note: as we see it, the job of a PIO is not as easy of a job as it looks. Networks and news organizations are daily after the PIO from fire departments for a story, the truth is not always what can be told; as well as the legal ramifications to the city, the department or the PIO. But sometimes it has it's rewards...
