Hot Guys!!!

Saturday's Inquirer included a story on 15 public officials, city employees, reporters, and lawyers who completed "Fire Ops 101" at the city's Fire Academy.

Participants who hold elected or high ranking office included "Pennsylvania House Speaker Dennis O'Brien, U. S. Rep, Patrick Murphy, State Rep. George Kenney, City Councilmen Bill Green and James F. Kenney, and Everett Gillison, deputy mayor for public safety."

One of the two lawyers represents the city in negotiations with the firefighters' union; the other represents the firefighters. Margaret Brogan, the only woman mentioned as being involved, is the arbitrator for the negotiations.

Among the tasks in the training were climbing to the top of a five-story building and cutting a hole in the roof, setting up a ladder to a third story window, using CPR and the Jaws of Life, and working in a room with 900 degree flames.
