3 fires ignite within minutes

Posted by admin on May 12th, 2010 and filed under fires | No Comments »

Three fire erupted within minutes of each other early Monday morning in Toledo’s south end.

Toledo fire investigators said two of the three fires might be related and are being investigated as “suspicious.”

Assistant Fire Chief Louis Santiago said his department doesn’t have a single fire bug on their hands, but more than likely a group are working together to set these fires.

The first fire reported was a vacant apartment complex on Orchard and Thayer streets. Flames spread to a second structure, an occupied home.

Driftwood Collection Pilot Project

Posted by admin on May 2nd, 2010 and filed under fire department | No Comments »

VICTORIA – The City of Victoria is removing driftwood from Gonzales Beach, in an effort to prevent beach fires.
Crews are collecting pieces less than two meters long, and thirty centimeters wide. The driftwood will be chipped and used on city paths, and in flower beds.

Each year, the Victoria Fire Department responds to nearly 200 beach fires. The Fire Department says a lot of unnecessary effort and resources are poured into fighting these fires. Deputy Fire Chief Paul Bruce says firefighters are often injured accessing the fires in the dark.

The City says the fires also have a serious impact on vegetation and the remnants are dangerous to beach goers. Beach fires are a violation of a Parks Regulation Bylaw, and can result in fines up to $2000.

French navy helicopter fires guns to stop pirates (March 2010)

Posted by admin on April 4th, 2010 and filed under fires | 13 Comments »

The French navy fregate Nivose, taking part in the EU NAVFOR Atalanta mission, earlier this month stopped two vessels off the Somali coast in the Gulf of Aden and arrested their crew members under suspicion of piracy. This video footage was made available to broadcasters via the Council of the European Union.

It’s not clear what happened to the pirates filmed in this particular video. It’s likely there were taken to the Kenyan port of Mombasa. Pirates have been released on several instances because there is unclarity over where to put them on trial. Kenya, which already holds more than 100 suspected pirates in custody, has been complaining about having to share an “unfair” part of the burden.

DragonForce – Through The Fire And Flames

Posted by admin on March 27th, 2010 and filed under fires | 25 Comments »

On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light
In flames of death’s eternal reign we ride towards the fight
And the darkness is falling down and the times are tough all right
The sound of evil laughter falls around the world tonight

Fighting high, fighting on for the steel
Through the wastelands evermore
The scattered souls will feel the bodies wasted on the shores

On the blackest waves in hells domain
We watch them as they go
Through fire, pain and once again we know

So now we fly ever free
We’re free before the thunderstorm
On towards the wilderness our quest carries on
Far beyond the sundown, far beyond the moonlight
Deep inside our hearts and all our souls

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!!!

As the red day is dawning
And the lightning cracks the sky
They raise their hands to the heavens above
As we send them to their lies

Running back through the mid-morning light
There’s a burning in my heart
We’re banished from the time in the fallen land
To a light beyond the stars

In the blackest dreams we do believe
Our destiny this time
And endlessly we’ll all be free tonight

And on the wings of a dream
So far beyond reality
All alone in desperation
Now the time is gone

Lost inside you’ll never find
Lost within my own mind
Day after day this misery must go on

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!!!

Woa-o-o, woa-o-o, woa-o-o-o-ooo, woa-o-o, woa-o-o, woa-o-o-o-ooo!

[Solos: Twin/Sam/Twin/Herman/Twin/Herman/Sam/Herman/Sam]

Now here we stand with their blood on our hands
We fought so hard now can we understand
I’ll break the seal of this curse if I possibly can
For freedom of every man

So far away we wait for the day
For the light source so wasted and gone
We feel the pain of a lifetime lost in a thousand days
Through the fire and the flames we carry on!!!
