Welcome to Fire Law

Posted by: Curt Varone October 23, 2009 0

It seems like hardly a day goes by without some new headline reminding us that fire and emergency responders are involved in a dangerous profession that frequently leads to some sort of legal activity.

This blog will provide a place where those headlines and cases will be complied – and when ever possible some commentary provided. I hope you enjoy. I hope you learn. I hope you will engage in discussions by commenting.
