While I do not in any way wish to minimize the loss of life of the innocent victims of another terrorist atrocity, once again the President shows his lack of understanding of the Constitution in his directive to order all flags to be flown at half staff.  A well meaning gesture not grounded in actual law which is very specific as to the persons for whom the flag is to be lowered to half staff.
 
Over time we have diminished the significance of this honor just as we have the label 'Hero'.
 
I hope Obama had a nice time at the ballgame today,

Didn't 'technology' give us air packs, foam, thermal imaging cameras, nomex, halon, etc, etc, etc, etc.? We've come a long way from bucket brigades and that's due to technology.  'WE' are only the means of utilizing and deploying the technology.

I have a friend who is a real estate agent who uses one these 'personal' drones to take aerial photos of his properties for sale to use in his sales brochures.
 
If he can justify the expense, couldn't the County Coordinators each have a drone that could be utilized at events such as mentioned? All the YouTube videos of drones at fires certainly show their benefit for command coordination.

Who built that wall and who paid for it?, LOL.

There are currently seven firehouses in the town of Greenwich. Five are combination paid/volunteer (Central, Cos Cob, Byram, Glenville, Sound Beach), one is all volunteer (Round Hill) and one is all paid (North Street). Banksville FD in Westchester County provides some coverage to the northern areas of town. The paid GFD currently operates six engine companies and one truck company. Engine 1, Engine 4, and Engine 8 are staffed by four personnel per shift. Engine 2, Engine 3, and Engine 5 are staffed by two personnel. Ladder 1 is staffed by three. There is also a rescue (Rescue 5) that can be cross-staffed if needed. There are also plans to open another firehouse in northwestern Greenwich, which would be Engine 9. I believe the paid GFD does around 4,000 calls annually. EMS is handled by Greenwich EMS.
