An "environmentally friendly" green-tipped match in a block of ice. Focusing on the match was hard. I ended up focusing on the edge of the green. The block was placed on top of miniature blue, turquoise, and gold tiles. Lit with a Smith-Victor round LED light at 1/2 power, a purple-gelled Canon 550EX Speedlite, camera left, set to 1/32 power, and a deep straw double-gelled Canon 550EX Speedlite, camera right, set to 1/128 power. Both triggered with Pocket Wizards.

Library Towers stands on one side, the National Museum stands on the other and the adage "Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet" applies! A very old view of the Museum which will never be seen again.
Something we also won't see again is the "fire escape station" we see in the centre. Our intrepid Flickroonies confirm that this public safety equipment wasn't just "left lying around" like so much street furniture. Often manned, it was quickly brought to bear when needed. Certainly quicker than if transported from a distance - without the assistance of the 13 tonne engines the Dublin Fire Brigade has today. Thankfully (as far as we know), it was never needed to deal with threats to the National Museum's collonaded facade (or indeed its collections)....

On February 1, 2008, while on a two day Bus Trip to see the remnants of the Florida East Coast Railway's former Key West Extension, we stopped in Ilamorada, Florida, at the Memorial for the lives lost during the 1935 Labor Day Category 5 Hurricane, which also destroyed the FEC Railway Extension to Key West, Florida.
Across the road from the Memorial, I found the Bernard Russell Emergency Operations Center, which is also known as Fire Rescue Station Number 20, so I decided to create the Photo Essay presented here on flickr™. Further information about the demise of the FEC Overseas Railway can be found at:
St. Florian Day and International Firefighters Day is May 4
On December 2, 1998, a tragic event shook the Linton Community, Australia and the world. Firefighters in Linton, Australia, a populated region in Victoria, were fighting a large bush fire and called for mutual aid. This urgent mutual aid call brought the Geelong West Fire Brigade to the scene, not knowing the despair and tragedy that was in store. Garry Vredeveldt, Chris Evans, Stuart Davidson, Jason Thomas, and Matthew Armstrong all loaded into company’s truck. They were part of a strike team and were being sent to help extinguish the flames. As the five headed into the hot zone, the wind suddenly switched direction, engulfing the truck in flames and killing all five members. This unfortunate incident is what inspired JJ Edmondson to bring about an international holiday, called International Firefighters' Day, to support the lives lost and dedicated fire fighters who risk their lives every day to save life and property.
The Use of Red and Blue Ribbon
One of the most significant symbols of International Firefighters' Day is the red and blue ribbon. This ribbon is cut precisely five centimeters long and one centimeter wide, with the two separate colors conjoined at the top. JJ Edmondson chose red and blue because the red stood for the element of fire whereas the blue would represent the element of water. Coincidentally, red and blue are also the colors recognized world-wide to signify emergency services; therefore, red and blue being the best choice of color to recognize an international holiday. The ribbon is traditionally worn on the lapel-otherwise known as the fold of fabric on a shirt- but is not limited to that certain spot. Some people may also put it on their cars visors, hats, hang them in windows or off of car mirrors, or even hang them from trees in their front lawn. The places this ribbon can be placed are plentiful- just be creative! The red and blue ribbon is a simple but yet effective way to show support for International Firefighters' Day.
The History of St. Florian
Saint Florian, the patron saint of firefighters, is also another symbolic element to International Firefighters' Day. St. Florian was a patron from Noricum, Rome in 300 AD, who was said to be one of the first commanding fire fighters of an actual battalion. As legend states, St. Florian saved an entire village engulfed in flames using just a single bucket of water. Legend also states, because of this act St. Florian is known as the protector of those who have come in danger of fire. The duties St. Florian performed for his province are the same duties that firefighters around the world perform every day—with the same dedication and braveries. On May 4, St. Florian is globally recognized and honored and is also known as the day of St. Florian. Therefore, International Firefighters' Day was chosen to be honored on May 4 in honor of the saint.
How You Can Observe Today:
Consider how you can make your home, office, workplace, or any building fire safe. Clear out trash, remove obstacles from exits, and plan for fire emergencies. Know how to contact your local fire department (usually calling 9-1-1 in the USA) and know how to give the information to dispatch the fire department to your location. Check your fire and smoke detectors according to the instructions, and replace batteries every 6 months. Know how to use a fire extinguisher, and if one is not in your home, consider purchasing one for each floor, including the garage.
Practice a fire drill, and designate a “Meeting Place” for everyone to gather to make sure everyone has exited the building. Know how to “Stop-Drop-and Roll” if your clothing catches fire. Make sure electrical equipment and appliances are in good working order, and that cords are not broken or frayed. Check the duty rating of extension cords to make sure they can safely be used with the appliance you are using.
There are many more fire safety tips available on many websites. A few clicks of the mouse when checking for these could safe a life—including yours!

Everyone be safe with fireworks during the summer holidays!
And remember – the BLM and U.S. Forest Service prohibit the use of fireworks and exploding targets due to tremendous fire risk. The Forest Service bans the possession or use of fireworks year-round, while the BLM ban this year is until Oct. 14, 2016.
Those who ignite fireworks or exploding targets on BLM-managed lands can be fined up to $1,000, receive a prison term of up to one year, or both. In addition, individuals responsible for starting wildland fires on federal lands can be billed for the cost of fire suppression.
