Well, I guess that& #39;s it, we& #39;ll just have to close up shop here at @HRMFireNews. https://twitter.com/hfxfire/status/1297901627475660800">https://twitter.com/hfxfire/s...
Just kidding... no chance. People have asked what I think of this new @HRFE_Incidents account. A few thoughts:
I think it& #39;s a good, helpful development. I& #39;ve said for a while now, HRFE needs to better prioritize communications. They should be commended for taking a step forward.

I& #39;ve been aware this was coming. It& #39;ll help the work that I do here, and it improves public information overall. I also don& #39;t see it as a replacement for this page, more of an addition to it. As you can see, the information they& #39;re actually tweeting is limited/has no updates.
Other departments have had these types of things set up for a while now, and I think it is a good practice. In today& #39;s world, you& #39;re better off to be going with the flow of information than trying to swim against it.
Almost five years ago when I felt a need to start this page, HRFE was trying to swim against it. There was almost no public information out there about the fire department. The idea that they& #39;ve recognized that public communication has value is a good thing.
The only thing that annoyed me is this wording "have you ever seen a fire truck and wondered where it was going?" Yes, in fact, people do wonder such things. That& #39;s why all the chiefs and 50+% of the firefighters at HRFE follow @hrmfirenews, thanks. Lol https://twitter.com/hfxfire/status/1297901627475660800">https://twitter.com/hfxfire/s...
