What Is Fanning The Flames?

Fanning The Flames is a free newsletter for Volunteer Firefighters. I created this project to help get firefighters interested in training and learning more about firefighting. I hope that you enjoy the website and the newsletter. Fanning The Flames is read and enjoyed in many countries and on three continents by both volunteer and paid firefighters. 

Who Am I?

I am J. Diemert past Deputy Chief of Foremost Fire Department in Foremost Alberta Canada. I am a fourth generation volunteer firefighter and was a third generation Deputy Chief. I have a brother that was a Fire Chief and is now retired. My wife is an EMT and a Paramedic Student. I had a beautiful yellow lab that was my Search and Rescue partner for six years. You might say that emergency services is my life and who I am.
