Mayor fires Ark. chief shot by cops; members resign
<http://www.firerescue1.com/labor-issues/articles/591681-Mayor-fires-Ark-chief-shot-by-cops-members-resign/> 
	The small town of Jericho, Arkansas, no longer has a fire department. 
Its fire chief blames the mayor. A city police officer shot the fire 
chief, Don Payne, in court last month. Chief Payne says it all stems 
from the shooting. He says the mayor fired him because he acted 
inappropriately — now, all of the town's firefighters are hanging up 
their helmets. *Full Story*

MIST and Protection Factors for Turnouts
*By Jeffrey O. and Grace G. Stull, /Sponsored by Globe 
<http://www.firerescue1.com/ad/?id=591812&sid=12496&from=591680>/*
<http://www.firerescue1.com/Columnists/Jeffrey-O-Stull/> A comparative 
evaluation of ensembles for demonstrating protection against chemical 
vapors and air borne biological agents is conducted using the 
Man-In-Simulant-Test (MIST). This technique, employed by the military 
for years for testing battlefield chemical warfare agent protective 
clothing, is now used for testing first responder ensembles in NFPA 1994 
(terrorism protective clothing) and for the CBRN options of NFPA 1971 
and NFPA 1951. *Full Column*
