Where’s the Fire?

There’s an old joke about a policeman who pulls over a guy for speeding. The cop asks the driver “Where’s the fire buddy?”

The driver replies, “In your eyes officer.”

I thought of that joke when I came across a new Howard County Blog called Howard Fire, the unofficial Howard County fire blog.

I’m not sure who’s behind it but they do seem to be in the know on the activities of our local firefighters. Whoever they are they could easily be the hottest blogger in the county.

Sorry, I just couldn’t resist. In any event, welcome.

Update: 1:53 PM: Thanks to an anonymous commenter I now realize that I missed the blog authors name when I wrote the initial post. Welcome Doug!

WB- did you read the blog at all? Each post is signed by the author - who doesn't appear to use a pseudonym.

Anon 1:27 PM,

How right you are!

My bad. I was looking for author info in the left hand column and completely missed reference at the bottom of the post.

Thank you pointing that out.

Thanks for the link and blog post. My information comes from the same source that anyone can get to - a digital radio scanner capable of receiving the Howard County radio system, coupled with a few years in the fire service.

Might I ask how you came across the site?

Your blog came up on my Google Alerts setting for Howard County.
