Santa Barbara Fires
As much as I love fires, I cannot stand by and watch houses getting burned down without getting emotional. Beautiful, controlled fires are amazing. However, wildfires are terrible. My heart goes out to all those affected by the huge Jesusita Fire in Santa Barbara, CA.
The latest report I’ve seen has unfortunately stated 0% contained. Luckily, the winds are starting to calm down. This will give the firefighters a chance to get in an eliminate the cause of mass devistation.
I have personally seen the fires and can tell you they are massive and relentless. So far, the damage is unbelievable and it is only getting worse. Definitely not a good time for a fire in this economy. Though, some would say fires like these in fact stimulate the economy and make up for the damages.
Live Life to the Fullest
Here’s some tips on how you can improve your life:
School may be over, but your education isn’t. Don’t stop learning and racking up new knowledge. Some judge the success of life by the amount of knowledge gained during their lifespan.
Your body comes first. Take care of your body. Give yourself the rest, nutrition and activity it needs. You will see it has a positive effect on your attitude and personality.
Don’t rely on others. It’s great to have people you can rely on. But only rely on them in extreme cases. Always have a back up plan. Different groups of people have been fighting for freedom throughout all of history, give yourself the freedom you need. Be self-sufficient.
Cash overtakes Stocks
For the first time in two decades, investors are holding more money in cash than in stocks!
Investors are holding 45 percent of assets in cash and 41 percent in equity. This contrasts the averages of 25 percent and 60 percent, respectively. Economists claim that investors have enough money sitting in the sidelines to invest into the stock market to cause a “snapback” or “bounce” that will stabilize market prices.
Cash that Bullet!

Hey readers-
This is the first of a series of posts where I will not be posting a visitor’s question.
BlazinCash talks about my 3 favorite things, cash, fire, and life. News relates to the 3.
An unbelievable thing occurred today!
A pack of cash stored in a woman’s bra saved her life when shots were fired in northeastern Brazil.
The bullet still penetrated her breast, but the $70 worth of bills slowed the bullet down enough to stop it from entering her heart and instantly killing her.
This is why cash, life, and fire go hand in hand!
What degree should a fire department lieutenant pursue for future career options?
I am a lieutenant in a body of paid firefighters. I just finished the degree of membership in the emergency services. I ‘m. looking to get my singles, but I ‘m. not sure in what. I am planning to leave the department in the coming years and to examine the work in the management of fire service / government / code. I ‘m thinking that a business degree will give me more options but it takes twice the length to obtain a degree in fire science. Council?
