New RIT Book

[fdtraining]

There's a new book - Firefighter Rescue & Rapid Intervention Teams - available from the FDTN. This is an easy read and a great resource for individuals and departments. The book follows the format and style of FDTN's Firefighter Survival book which came out last year.

These books make great stocking stuffers!

It wouldn't be a problem so long as you do not stand to gain from the promotion or sale of the product in question.

Having read both this thread and the sav-a-jake thread - I think there is a very fine line between simply spreading the word that you have a new product on the market vs. promoting your product.

I think one thing that would help to make this distinction is the use of multiple post in the same or several different forums. (In the Web Chat world - this is known as flooding.)

I have no problem with savajake or fdtraining letting us know about new products, however they should somehow qualify in their post (signature perhaps?) that they ARE a vendor/dealer/etc. And they should limit this posting to a new thread (as in this forum) rather than jumping into open discussions and touting their products (as was done in other forums).

And for the record - I have no opinion good or bad on the products listed in either of the post in question as I have not used nor seen either of these products.
