December was a tragic month for firefighters on roadways, with two firefighters killed in struck-by incidents and several fire apparatus hit on roadways.

While the U.S. Fire Administration is still reviewing reports, they have confirmed 136 LODDs in 2021, with 45 percent of the deaths related to COVID-19. 

The family of the Shanksville, PA, fire chief who headed up the local response to the United Flight 93 crash on 9/11 is asking for help for their hero, who is need of a heart transplant.

The staff of Firehouse would like to wish you and your families a safe, healthy and happy New Year.
