The new book, "History of the Yakima Fire Department, 1905-2005" is now available.  This is a beautiful and well-done full color, 88-page book done by FF Randy Raschko.  You can pick up your copy at the Yakima Valley Credit Union offices or at any City of Yakima Fire Station.  Contact any city firefighter and they can help you get a copy.  These are excellent Christmas presents.  There is a limited number available so get yours now.

Here is some information about the 48-96 work schedule that is being talked about around the coffee tables of American fire stations across the country.  I have included a sample calendar of what it might look like, and a link to the web site.  Post your comments on the Message Board!

Just added in the Downloads area,  The James Clack article on the effects of working a 48-96.
