HUDSON VOLUNTEER FIRE DEPARTMENT - 1998

This picture hangs in the local gas station in town "The Fillin' Station" and many people have asked just what kind of Fire Department we have that would stand & pose for a picture while a house was on fire??? This was actually taken at a controlled burn/training session and there was no threat to anyone!!!

Does your department get called out for weather spotting? Ours does and I have found these sites to have some very interesting information that can help a lot in performing that duty...

WEATHER SPOTTER LINKS & INFORMATION SOURCES
"Storm Spotters Guide"
"Weather Glossary for Storm Spotters"
"Skywarn"
"Tornado Project"

Is your fire department, ambulance, or rescue squad prepared for a weather emergency (or for that matter, any other possible disaster)???? I know that here in South Dakota many of us think back to May 30, 1998, to what happened to Spencer, South Dakota, and wonder if any of us can really ever be ready for something like this....

    Actually, I think we can all prepare to the best of our ability for the possibility of a disaster in our area, but alas, how many of us belong to a group with a multitude of "it will never happen to us" type personalities? How do we convince these people that if we simply practice a little bit of incident command tactics in whatever situation we find ourselves in, that eventually, when the "biggie" hits, we might actually be prepared!!???
    I'd love to hear your input on this, any ideas, suggestions, gripes, etc, that you have, have tried, or would like to try....
