The "History of the Yakima Fire Department, 1905-2005" is available.  This is a beautiful and well-done full color, 88-page book done by FF Randy Raschko.  Contact this website to get your copy. 

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.
