Isn't the usal answer to that to look at all London fire brigade?

I must admit it is really different how the Yanks always say who many firefighters were injured when you read their news reports. Where as here we only hear about them if someone was injured.

I guess the comparison Bittenyakka is saying is the London Fire Brigade is just as busy yet they hardly lose anyone. But the construction and building types in America are different to, also most of the LODD is America are heart attacks, not actually fires, a small percentage actually die in fires.

SA Private Contractor, you are a clown  :roll:

SAPC you obviously don't have a clue. If you think the guys on hear are just some hacks hanging about on the net you are very mistaken my friend. Id suggest you start getting your facts straight instead of dribbling the fecal diarrhea you have been dishing up. Sorry had to be said.

Is this regular occurance being addressed by FD's in America?  Obiovusly over-exhertion/heating would be the major contributor to the heart attacks?

It is partly to do with the new gear, and also the lack of fitness and poor eating habits.

I would have thought a Managing Director of a company would be well advised on various Copyright laws and using images without expressed permission.

He may have permission.....But in any case no need for us to question those things. Images are direct linked all over the net.

Let's not get into that topic :-P :-P :-P
