Firefighter Sims

Sorry, I have not written much lately.  I had some time home over the holidays so I decided to do my usual web surfing and look for some things to post on the blog.  I came across an interesting site today called Strike the Box.  This website is a collection of photos showing over 4,500 firefighter tattoos.  Each tattoo photo contains a link to the bio of the firefighter who has the tattoo.

If you are thinking about getting inked, I highly recommend checking out some of these amazing tattoos.  The site allows firefighters to post their tattoos and members can to vote on some of the best new tattoos.

Mike Garcia, the city’s fire chief, achieved professional accreditation by the Commission on Fire Accreditation’s International Chief Fire Officer Designation Program on June 2. The program was created to recognize fire officers who have demonstrated excellence and outstanding achievement throughout their career.

Achieving the designation requires having a strong educational background, diverse participation in emergency services at the local, state and national level, and demonstrated involvement in the broader community — all validated by emergency services colleagues. The Aurora Fire Department has been awarded the Accredited Agency status in 2000 and reaccreditation in 2005 and in 2010.

I have been really busy and have not even looked at the Sims2 in ages. I was glad to see the the people at EA finally let users in the Sims 3 be able to become a firefighter in the game. I have not played it yet, but here is a look at the job in a video from SimPrograms.

Here is a nice fire video for you all. It posted on my Twitter feed via http://www.jimthetrucker.com . Send a shout out to firefghter19 who posted the video on YouTube. Enjoy!
