Hurst & Co. building. Within hours steady, frigid winds had created a blaze that overwhelmed Baltimore's firefighters and threatened the entire city.

He is massive in size and mighty in heart and steadfastness. To the men of Engine Company 15, Goliath is the ultimate fire horse. He is the lead horse for the team assigned to pulling the mammoth Hale Water Tower No. 1. When the fire alarm sounds, calling them to action, Goliath leads his team into the blaze.

Download or read book Social Media and the Baltimore City Fire Department written by Jeffrey R. Segal and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 55 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years there has been an explosion of social media activity in America and throughout the world. The proliferation of the social media has affected public safety organizations in one way or another. Many of the public safety organizations do not have policies in place that provide sound guidance on the social media explosion. The problem is that the Baltimore City Fire Department (BCFD) does not have a social media policy to protect the interest of the BCFD and the citizens that it serves. The expanded use of social media coupled with a strong social media policy will enhance the BCFD's ability to protect the citizens of Baltimore and protect the interests of the BCFD. The purpose of this research was to identify the need for a social media policy and identify ways to enhance the protection of the BCFD through the use of the social media.
