The dream of building a place to honor Tulsa firefighters is becoming reality. It’s happening thanks to a generous donor who bought the property on behalf of the department. Fire officials said they've had their eye on this specific building for the past 10 years because it's part of the department's history.   The Tulsa Fire Alarm Building east of downtown was the department's dispatch center for 50 years. After they moved out it was vandalized and damaged in a flood. The American lung Association bought the building years later and restored it to its original state. Once the department learned the Tulsa Fire Alarm Building was going up for sale six months ago they immediately took action. Leaders created a nonprofit to raise funds for the museum. The department plans to display artifacts and photos, showcase fallen and retired firefighters and create an area for kids.  “The downstairs will be interactive kids areas with things to play on. Old hose that ar...

  WASHINGTON (7/30/15)--Citing “moderate” economic expansion, the Federal Open Market Committee continues to do “a balancing act,” said CUNA Senior Economist Perc Pineda. The Federal Reserve’s monetary policy-making body completed its meeting Wednesday without edging up the federal funds interest rate. Fed Chair Janet Yellen has said the committee will opt for an interest-rate increase sometime this fall. The July meeting, however, was not the time. “The Federal Reserve continues to do a balancing act: the U.S. economy is not in a recession and definitely not overheating,” Pineda told News Now . “Changes in monetary policy after all are meant to influence an underperforming or an overheating economy.” Household spending growth has been moderate, and housing has shown additional improvement, the committee said. Labor conditions continue to improve with declining unemployment and solid job gains. Inflation is anticipated to remain near its recent low level in the near term,...

The Secret List www.FireFighterCloseCalls.com We regret to pass on to you that the Denver Firefighter who fell through a skylight while fighting a fire on June 28 died in the Line of Duty from his injuries last night. John Whelan, a 15-year veteran of the department was taken to St. Anthony North Health Campus about 1945 hours with shortness of breath, according to a release from the Denver Fire Department. Whelan died less than an hour later after going into cardiac arrest. Whelan was at the scene of a dumpster fire that broke out near an abandoned building at 3860 Blake Street on June 28th. He was on the roof of the building checking for damage when the skylight collapsed. Whelan fell 20 feet and suffered several injuries including a broken arm, broken ribs and internal injuries. More details will follow as a press conference is scheduled for this morning outside Denver Fire Headquarters. Our condolences to all those affected. RIP.

If you have not done this, I highly recommend you do! With plenty of summer days left to go, the Transportation Security Administration is continuing its PreCheck push. Earlier this year the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) announced that more than 1 million travelers had registered for its time-saving PreCheck program. Now, as the summer goes into full swing, the agency is pushing to raise that number even higher with a new campaign to draw more on-the-go Americans. For the uninitiated, the TSA’s PreCheck program allows vetted travelers to move more quickly through separate security screening lines and to skip standard protocols, including removing belts and laptops during preflight security checks. To raise awareness of the program, the TSA will be sharing two new ads, one of which can be seen below, that explain the basic benefits of signing up.So if you still have some summer traveling on the books or perhaps to the NCOFCU Annual Meeting and Exposition in Nashvi...

  Nationally, business lending by credit unions grew to $51 billion in 2014 from $4 billion in 2000, according to the NCUA, which described the proposed change as an attempt to modernize rules for credit union business lending. “This is the right approach at the right time,” NCUA Board Chairman Debbie Matz said in a statement. “It’s appropriate to move away from prescriptive regulatory limits to general principles providing credit unions with greater flexibility to serve their member businesses. Commercial lending may not be appropriate for every credit union, but that’s a strategic decision for each board of directors to make. Credit unions know their members better than we do, and this modernized business lending rule reflects that reality.” Read complete article at; Credit unions seek greater flexibility in business lending; Banks oppose changes
