"Da bomb"T-6 had an interesting call early this AM...
T-6 B-6were dispatched to a "stink bomb" in a house. Apparently
the occupants heard a crash through their front window and discovered a device that let off a noxious smell. Upon investigation
by PD it was discovered that the device was a home made type of bomb. The Fire Marshal was called as well as the Bay
County Bomb Squad. The device was secured by Bay County and evidence was collected. All in all it took 6 hours to mitigate
this incident and T-6/B-6 stood by for any possible aid.

Our greatest sympathies Our condolenses go out to Okaloosa County Sheriff's Deputy Anthony Forgione. He was shot and killed Tuesday morning as he tried to apprehend a man who escaped from the
hospital. R-6 ran a call earlier that day @ 205 Shell on the man who later shot the Deputy. " The dude was
really whacked out" said one of R-6 crew members of the shooter. This is a terrible situation and our prayers go
out to the Deputy's family. Check out the NWF news story here

Save Clearwaterfire.orgFlorida’s Professional Firefighters Announce Boycott of the City of Clearwater
The Florida Professional Firefighters today is urging
its 26,000 members, along with the 280,000 professional fire fighters across the nation and Canada, to boycott
the City of Clearwater for their unethical and illegal treatment of its fire fighters.
The boycott stems
from several years of issues ranging from illegal demotions and firings, to sexual harassment of female firefighters by Clearwater
city manager William Horne and Clearwater Fire Chief Jamie Geer.
The taxpayers of Clearwater have spent
hundreds of thousands of dollars funding a personal war by Horne and Geer against the Clearwater Fire Fighters Association
(CFFA). This personal war has led to defeat in every legal battle Clearwater has entered in to.
In addition
to the money already spent, Clearwater taxpayers have yet to pay for the 26 pending grievances and 1 sexual discrimination
case that has yet to be resolved. In tough financial times, the potential to exceed $1 Million in costs is a reality,
not a dream.
In response to the way the City of Clearwater has decided to treat its fire fighters, all firefighters
coming to Florida are being advised to avoid the Clearwater area as a vacation destination. All
fire fighters living in the area are asked to spend their money in neighboring cities and not Clearwater. This boycott will last as long as Clearwater Firefighters
are treated as second-class citizens.
For more information on the boycott, as well as the illegal treatment of
Clearwater’s firefighters, contact:
- John Lee, President of the Clearwater Firefighters Association
at (727) 804-5064.
- David Hogan, Secretary/Treasurer of the Clearwater Firefighters Assn. (727)
647-5659
