I don't RSS on my PC at the moment but FeedReader was easily the best IMHO. Thanks for the RSSDemon tip too.

Going to be a very interesting weekend if there is a fire. I know DFES brass are looking at turning out a shitload of brigades/stations to every incident, so it will be very interesting if there is multiple fires at the same time. Fingers crossed that there isn't. I know I would rather be drinking beverages with my friends this weekend than playing fireman.

I'm some what worried about the ability of the DFES brass to handle any incident on such a day like tomorrow.... :shock:
