Flat Head Jake: Test post
http://jakereflections.blogspot.com/2009/10/test-post.html
A Common Sense approach to the job. Great repair job. Although I would think duct tape would be stronger. Posted by Flat Head Jake. October 4, 2009 at 3:57 PM. Welcome to the disposable generation. Maybe some mandatory training should consist of a few episodes of Bob the Builder or Manny the Handyman to introduce this generation to a wrench and bolt! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Flat Head Jake: Random Thoughts
http://jakereflections.blogspot.com/2009/09/random-thoughts.html
A Common Sense approach to the job. Another week in the world of first-responders and here are some of the things that caught my attention. The LA. Station fire. Is contained to about 60% ( yes it's still burning) and has been determined to be caused by Arson. Just following it through the media, I couldn't help but think how hard it must be physically and mentally to operate at these types of fires. I have much respect to the men and women who fight wildfires. Posted by Flat Head Jake.

Flat Head Jake: "Salty Jake Syndrome"
http://jakereflections.blogspot.com/2009/08/salty-jake-syndrome.html
A Common Sense approach to the job. Today I want to talk about the disorder that I'll call the "Salty Jake Syndrome". Signs and symptoms of SJS are the following :. Crusty, dented, scorched helmet (suddenly appears after 1 year on the job). Dirty, stinking Bunker Gear with rips and tears all over. Sudden appearance of station uniforms resembling a domicile challenged individual (being PC here). White officer devices that suddenly, over night, become charred and covered in soot. The job owes you NOTHING!

Flat Head Jake: Rubber Coats
http://jakereflections.blogspot.com/2009/04/rubber-coats.html
A Common Sense approach to the job. 160;Ah. rubber coats. I hear so many people romanticizing rubber coats that I need to add my 2 cents. . 160;When new they were extremely uncomfortable but once broken in you got used to them. Easy to get on, a few snaps, the clips and you were all set. When wet they would dry quickly. As long as you weren't somewhere you shouldn't be, they offered adequate protection. While ascending ladders I never felt encumbered by the coat. 160;Now, the other side of the coin.

Flat Head Jake: Propaganda disguised as news
http://jakereflections.blogspot.com/2009/09/fire-alarm-sounded-this-afternoon-at-2.html
A Common Sense approach to the job. Propaganda disguised as news. A fire alarm sounded this afternoon at 2 Center Plaza, forcing Mayor Thomas M. Menino's campaign headquarters to evacuate, right as staffers were working the phones to get out the vote. Perhaps inevitably, the alarm. On the campaign because. Boston Firefighters Local 718 has been at loggerheads with Menino for months and has endorsed Councilor Michael F. Flaherty in the mayor's race. 8220;It was supposedly just a routine drill, but. I comm...

Flat Head Jake: July 2009
http://jakereflections.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
A Common Sense approach to the job. Attic fires, a location which causes some unique challenges when operating at them. I've responded to numerous attic fires over the years and have found all of them to be difficult to extinguish. They have some unique operational considerations which add to the difficulty for members operating on the scene. Gaining access to attic fires is usually difficult with probably only basement fires being harder. Let's take a look as some of the entry points:. Far too many time...
