Speaking of the OSFM, it's time to praise their newsletter. The Fire & Rescue Journal is published quarterly by the Office of State Fire Marshal, which is part of the North Carolina Department of Insurance. Started in 2001, the full-color, 12-page publication is a quality work and one that interests Mr. Blogger for its historical perspectives. Since 2007, every issue has featured a major or notable incident from years or decades past. Below are the issues available from the OSFM's publications web site. I've indicated which issues include history pieces. They are all PDF format. Good reading!
