[RG911team] While many people focus on Jan6 bombshells and Hunter Biden bombshells, we should remind ourselves of the ACTUAL bombs that were reported in the Twin Towers on 9/11. When will those criminals be brought to justice? #firefighters #truth
[RG911Team] You might think that the government would have tested for explosive residue at Ground Zero after 9/11. You would be wrong. See nist.gov/world-trade-ce… 
[RG911Team] However, a team of university scientists discovered hi-tech incendiary materials in the WTC dust that can be used to destroy steel in a controlled demolition. Their peer reviewed research proves that the Twin Towers were brought down intentionally. See… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Brief thread: Support your local volunteer #firefighters; they're the ones who are actually in your towns and villages with all the equipment and training when there's a bad accident --
They are individual nodes of trained help walking by, driving by, there right away even before their trucks and gear show up, while police and ambulances can take twenty minutes or longer to show up and the hospital is closed.

They're not just for fires. I'd guess, from what I was on the edges of last night, quite a lot of what they do isn't fires.

What does it meant to say "money is moving to the internet"?
Isn't it already there?

There are key differences between natively digital...and analog uploaded to the digital.
Our current monetary system is the latter.
Legacy financial rails have been transposed on the internet, but true settlement remains antiquated, slow, and dependent on intermediaries.

Here's a little more video of @dcfireems @DCPoliceDept & @MetroTransitPD responding a short time ago for the shooting victim on the platform at the Georgia Avenue-Petworth Metro Station. @popville #police #EMS #firefighters
(1) NEW: How bad are structural issues with the T.R. Bridge? It isn't just the public impacted by emergency repairs. STATter911 has learned both @ArlingtonVaFD & @dcfireems are restricting how fire apparatus can access the bridge for emergencies. (more) #vatraffic #dctraffic
(2) @ArlingtonVaFD confirms it's following the lead of @dcfireems which limits speeds to a maximum of 25 mph, prohibits fire apparatus from parking side-by-side, keeps apparatus at least 30 feet from each other & 30 feet from open bridge joints. (more)
(3) @dcfireems also makes it clear that heavier pieces of fire apparatus like Tower 3 and the department's foam units aren't to use the T.R. Bridge "under any circumstances." #firefighters #traffic
This is horrifying. I expected this to happen at some point in Jan or Feb with #Omicron. I didn't expect it happen on January 1. 💔

Listen, important. Most adults in #Maryland are #vaccinated. Fewer kids are. MANY haven't yet gotten a #boostershot (only 70M in entire US pop of 331M #boosted). A booster will ⬇️ risk of hospitalization by 88% & starts protecting you in 7d with major protection in 14d. GO DO IT!
If you're #boosted, THANK YOU. Your job is to call 3 people age 16+ NOW who are #vaccinated but not yet #boosted & tell them to #GetBoosted ASAP. This is time-critical, esp w/ #schools to reopen in 36 hrs. #Baltimore #Maryland, appts here as soon as 1/4: umms.org/coronavirus/co…

How on earth did this happens - with modern fire suppression systems the catastrophic loss was preventable.

On this night 19 years ago,246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights.2606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning tomorrow.343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift.#Pennsylvania #Pentagon #FDNY #GiantSlayrs
60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift of saving lives. None of them saw past 10:00 am Sept 11, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same.
As you live and enjoy the breaths you take today and tonight before you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.
I want you to know about #hotshots. Hotshots are the small, elite teams of on-ground firefighters who are braving the elements and fighting fires with shovels, chainsaws, and superhuman endurance. They work for the National Forest Service. #Fire
Here’s a good video showing what hotshots actually do for #fires. It is an amazing group of people, being taxed to the utmost by a catastrophic climate condition.
#Hotshots clear breaks, so fires have nothing to burn. They do this by hand, digging, picking, and raking, out in the wilderness. 16 hours a day, camping where they fight. And they set back burns to fight fire with fire. #fires science.howstuffworks.com/nature/natural…
#ValleyFire 🔥SHELTER IN PLACE per @CalFire if unable to evacuate bc of fire blocking road. #Fire in Carveacre Rd & Japutal Rd in #Alpine area. Call 911 if need emergency #evacuation assistance. Follow @SDSheriff @CALFIRESANDIEGO & @ClevelandNF (thread)
If you must SIP, put wet towels under doors, close all windows & fireplace damper, & if you have time, get on roof & cover vents. Before fire approaches, turn off gas at meter, fill trash cans/buckets/tub w/water, wet down roof and vegetation (thread...)
Turn on your house & solar lights. Breathe in 3, hold 2, out 3, repeat to remain calm. Bring flammables from yard-umbrellas, etc-inside house; only move things like cans of gas away from house if you can get them far from homes. Wear N95mask or use vacuumbag as filter for mask...

The cannibalistic experiments involve killing cats and dogs purchased from Colombia, #Brazil, Vietnam, China and Ethiopia, and then feeding the dead remains to laboratory kittens, bred in government laboratories for the purpose of being infected with a disease and then killed.
"We the people” have also become the #Police state guinea pigs. Back in 2017, FEMA “inadvertently” exposed nearly 10,000 #firefighters, paramedics and other responders to a deadly form of ricin during simulated #BioTerrorism response sessions.
