Eagle Mountain Promotions is "Ten-Eight!"

ENLARGE [+]

Fire&Eagle

   OK, we've taken the first plunge.  (For the the non-first responders reading this, "10-8" is a radio call indicating that your unit is either responding or enroute to an emergency call or other location.) In any event, we've run up the flag and will also be shaking both Illinois and Wisconsin public safety bushes to offer our unique combination of whatever  knowledge, background, talents or skills we have to Fire Departments not satisfied with only off-the-shelf, and standard fire station giveaways.

   Our plan is to help departments not only obtain the products they need, but also find ways to help them -- if asked -- to incorporate those or other products into their broader Fire and Burn Prevention Education goals and objectives.  Each fire department is different, serving a unique population, differing hazards within the community, larger or smaller industrial or commercial concerns, high rise or multi-family dwelling challenges or other areas that may need a more direct approach. For some, fundraising is another challege we can certainly help with.

  Fulltime departments compete with other municipal agencies for tax dollars, and  volunteer departments compete with ... well, practically everybody. So it pays to spend those dwindling dollars effectively.

   In addition to the standard stuff, we can fully customize many products with full color and local photos, maps, or other graphics that go far beyond the "YOUR DEPARTMENT LOGO HERE" options.

   It's fun to explore this new niche, and hopefully we can do some good too! Check out our new page!

This right-wing redneck loved Avatar!

   A lot of people are accusing the new film “Avatar” of being anti-military, anti-American and/or a hopelessly sappy commercial for tree-huggers everywhere.  I saw “Avatar” and fell in love with...
