Fire Patrol No. 1
Fire Patrol No. 1, originally uploaded by plemeljr
I didn't know this, but apparently the Fire Patrol is a private fire company working under the New York Board of Underwriters, basically to protect insured property (and make sure firefighters don't steal stuff). From their short history:
The Fire Patrol can trace its beginnings back to 1803, when the Mutual Assistance and Bag Corporation was formed by a group of volunteers to protect and preserve the contents of buildings from fire and water damage.
Fire Patrol members have the same equipment, but wear red helmets, and are dispatched by the FDNY. Here is a google cache with some good info. I also heard that there isn't a lot of love lost between the FDNY and the Fire Patrol.

This is a screeshot of The Apprentice: Martha Stewart (which debuted last night) contestants. While I did not watch Martha hand write an apology to whom she fired, we just have one question:
Look at the contestants, see anything missing?

Crap. Looks like Key West and the Gulf are going to be hit with another hurricane.
Stay safe down there in the Conch Republic, and the Gulf Coast as a whole.
