Rich’s Song on DVD: Kids Love Fire Engines!

Kids Love Fire EnginesA few years ago I was approached by Cameron Barrett of “That’s Crispy” about a video that she and her husband were producing. They were working with the Los Angeles Fire Department to produce a video for kids called “Kids Love Fire Engines!”  Cameron asked if they could use a few of my children’s safety songs for the show. I gladly agreed to let them do so.

They finished the video some time later and copies have been available for some time at FirefightingVideos.org. I stopped by the site recently and discovered that it may be offline. I found that a few other sites are offering it, though. It can be found at CreateSpace.com (which is where I found the included video preview that I added to this post), and at Amazon.com.

It’s a fun production, check it out if you have the opportunity.

We are doing training today. The park department is going to add this to their existing land. This view is the garage. The house will be burned completely, as well.

Firefighters gather in Indianapolis for FDIC

Technology in the fire service

Each year, firefighters from around the world converge upon the city of Indianapolis to attend the Fire Department Instructors Conference (FDIC) hosted by Penwell Publications. I have personally attended this several times in the past. It is a fascinating experience to see all of the new technologies being used to protect citizens everywhere.

CBS visits FDIC

CBS has made the following video available for us to share. I enjoy Dave Price’s approach to covering this event. His bravery in trying new things is quite evident as he steps into the role of firefighter.

Thousands of firemen worldwide attend an Indianapolis conference to learn about new products and techniques for saving lives. Dave Price demonstrates some of them.
