Rather #fowl traffic hazard on Glenwood Avenue right now. And they’re probably honking, too.

What Mike tried to become a podcaster? Here's what it might sound like: youtube.com/watch?v=HNskiG…. It's a ninety-minute interview with my longtime friend Jeffrey Hammerstein, retired #Wake County #paramedic and author of the new book Hi, I'm A Paramedic - A Memoir.

Remembering Don #Imus. Saw a sign for Imus Ranch Road today along old Route 66 in New Mexico, south of Las Vegas. Here’s the gate. It was a camp for children with cancer run by the late great talk radio host. RIP.

Looking back at the methane gas #explosion and flash #fire at the @NCNationalGuard #armory in Winston-Salem, #NC, on Sept 26, 1969, that injured 25 guardsmen, three of whom later died. Read research notes in new blog post, legeros.com/blog/winston-s… #WinstonSalem #NCNG #disaster

@raleighpolice Check the year on this one, believe it is 1996.

#TBT: On September 5, 1999, Hurricane Fran struck Raleigh, creating widespread flooding & damage. This photo captures a Raleigh Officer diverting traffic as Crabtree Creek overflows along Glenwood Ave. at Blue Ridge Rd. Be prepared this hurricane season: raleighnc.gov/fire/services/…

And here are a couple still shots fast night's live #fire training at #RDU #airport. They've been training all week using a mobile prop positioned on the far southeast side of the airport. Learn more about RDU #CFR at legeros.com/ralwake/rdu. @RDUAirport

Just a bit of video from last night's live #fire training at #RDU #airport. Fire attack practice using a trailer-mounted prop + LP gas. Varying levels of exposure and, ahem, steady-cam. Still working on our videography skills. @RDUAirport #CFR #ARFF

Here it is, new #Durham #Rescue 1, a 2024 Sutphen/SVI, placed in service today. Replaced a smaller and older rig that Durham #Fire had been running since R1 was re-activated in 2019. Thanks Captain Carl and his crew for the photo assist. See you on scene! @BullCitysChief

Where is Mike? @BullCitysChief knows…

Tech tip. For better photo comments on social media, do NOT take a screen capture on your phone. Instead, long press on the image. Save to your camera roll. You might even get high-res results. Got it? As for that boss buggy, that's from #Durham. POV of @BullCitysChief

For #plane fans, here's hot #tug action at @RDUAirport last night, after @AtlasAir's #Boeing 747 landed. Rare to see one in these parts, youtube.com/watch?v=HbEm-f…

Love the new #Gibson Play #Plaza at #Dix Park in #Raleigh. Here's a bit of circle drone video. Using 3x optical zoom on a DJI Air 3. See longer views at youtu.be/9w0t0w_kKSE @RaleighGov @RaleighPark @DixPark
