Christmas Message From Bajan Fire Fighters

-
The end of another year is near and we find it necessary to thank our members, friends, and all other persons affiliated with the Bajan Fire Fighters’ Network. We extend our heartfelt thanks to you for your invaluable assistance throughout the year.

It has been a spectacular 12 months and your support is much appreciated. We launched our Facebook Fan Page on September 4, 2009 and the response has been tremendous. The move from our Facebook Group to a Fan Page has brought numerous benefits with the addition of several useful applications. Our Facebook fans now have access to our YouTube videos, Ustream channel, Fan Polls, and Blogger news feed without ever leaving Facebook.

Our YouTube channel was created on April 28, 2009 and continues to generate much interest. Plans are already well underway for our video diary which should commence in January 2010. Twitter has proven to be extremely useful in allowing our network to disseminate information in a timely manner as incidents unfold. The Ning platform has also enabled our network to better organize our members from the fire service and enhanced our ability to publish information for firefighters via various special interest groups while in the same network.

We are excited about the growth of our Network and anxiously look forward to serving you in the New Year. We wish you the warmest of holiday greetings and pledge to continue providing the same quality social interaction.

Have a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year.

A nearly 6-ton satellite is gradually falling from Earth orbit, and parts of it could crash to the surface as early as Friday, September 23 (today), NASA officials said. NASA officials told ABC News overnight that they won't know where the satellite will hit until two hours before it enters the Earth's atmosphere, moving at 5 miles per second. The space agency's space debris experts predict that at least 26 large pieces of the satellite will survive the scorching temperatures of atmospheric re-entry. But exactly where the UARS satellite debris will fall is uncertain. NASA officials have said that the drop zone for UARS satellite debris could be anywhere between the latitudes of northern Canada and southern South America, an area that includes much of the planet. The satellite should re-enter over a 500-mile (804-kilometer) track, according to NASA officials. Since 75 percent of Earth is covered with ocean, there is a high likelihood that the satellite will re-enter ov...

Chief Fire Officer: Not Enough Citizens Taking Fire Prevention Seriously

-
Chief Fire Officer Wilfred Marshall has expressed concern about the high number of structural fires taking place in Barbados, in particular private dwelling houses and commercial building fires. Marshall has noted that while some fires are due to carelessness on the part of homeowners and others have been deemed as “suspicious”, a number of these fires have been classified as “undetermined”. Homeowners and people in general still have a role to play in fire prevention, he has noted. Speaking to the Barbados Advocate yesterday at Barbados Fire Service Headquarters located at Probyn Street Bridgetown, the Chief Fire Officer lamented about the number of fires of which the origin has not been determined. “I am always concerned that we have a high percentage of undetermined fires. We work closely with the police in terms of determining the cause of fires and so it is not only the Fire Service that is involved in determining the cause of a fire. We work closely with them as they bring a fore...
