FirefighterNation is a network for Firefighters, EMS, Rescue, and First Responders started about three weeks ago by webchief. In those three weeks, it has grown to nearly 2,000 members!

The network uses basically all of the features of the free Ning Social Network, adding to them Premium Services like Domain mapping (to point the network to station.firefighternation.com). Webchief has also added ‘tabs’ to feature specific content, like an FAQ, that were created by directly modifying the source code of the Social Network to specifically direct traffic into areas of the network.

It’s great to see the Ning platform used to provide a social network where people that perform such crucial services in our communities can find a place to connect and exchange ideas, thoughts, and help each other. Really fantastic.
