12 Days of Firemen - Day #5

Thanks to everyone for playing this trivia game with me! It's been great. We had nearly 100 answers to Day 4's question, and here are the winners:

Correct answer: Sue May T.
Creative answer: Jessica P.

And now for the challenge for Day 5! I wouldn't call today's challenge a trivia question; it's actually a really important one, especially with family gathering for the holidays. Here it is:

Name some fire safety tips. (At least two.)

As always, research is fine. Prizes will be awarded for one randomly selected correct answer and one creative. (Even though this is an important question, you can also have fun with it!)

Today's prize is a copy of the wonderful cookbook Playing with Fires: Firehouse Recipes and their Chefs. (Proceeds go to the National Fallen Firefighter Foundation.) The creative winner will receive a Bachelor Firemen gift pack.

You have until 10am EST tomorrow to leave your answer either here or on my Facebook page. This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Facebook. And stay safe this holiday season! xoxo

12 Days of Firemen - Day #4

The winners of Day #3 in the 12 Days of Firemen have been chosen! They are:

Correct answer: Lisa B.
Creative answer: Kayla F.

People had lots of fun with the wetdown ceremony, I'm glad to see. Now on to the question for Day #4.

How much does a firefighter's helmet weigh?

As usual, research is allowed. (If it involves asking a friendly fireman at your local coffee shop, all the better.) Prizes will be awarded to one randomly selected correct answer, and one creative answer.

For this question, I've consulted the rules committee (me) and determined that posting a pic of a firefighter in his/her helmet is an acceptable "creative" answer.

Today, the first prize will be hot cocoa and a book (my perfect holiday break!): a Bachelor Firemen mug, organic Alaska hot chocolate, and your choice of any signed book of mine (or eBook, if you prefer.) The "creative" prize will be a Bachelor Fireman gift pack.

You have until 10am EST tomorrow to leave your answer either here or on the Facebook party page. This promotion is in no way sponsored, endorsed or administered by, or associated with Facebook. Have fun!

And the correct answer, according to USHistory.org, was Benjamin Franklin, in Philadelphia on December 7, 1736.

On to today's question! I know you'll have fun with this one.

What is a wetdown ceremony?

As always, I'll award a prize for one randomly selected correct answer and one randomly selected creative answer. Research is allowed, you have until 10am EST tomorrow to leave your answer, either here or on my Facebook page, where you're invited to join all the firemen fun.

So, today's top prize is a bunch of SMOKIN' HOT FIREMEN! This is a red-hot anthology of sexy stories about our favorite hotties, and one of the authors, the lovely Cynthia D'Alba Fan Page, is offering up some swag to go with it. Thanks, Cynthia! The "creative" prize winner will receive a Bachelor Firemen Gift pack. HAVE FUN!

 

12 Days of Firemen - Day 2

With over a hundred answers to Day 1's Trivia Question, this party is off to a rocking start! Click here to join the fun on my Facebook page. Here are the winners of Day 1:

Dawn B - correct answer
Karen H - creative answer

And now, here's the Trivia Question for Day 2:

When was the first fire department in America formed and who created it? Bonus points if you know the city.

As always, research is allowed. And as always, I'll award a prize for one correct answer and one creative answer (randomly selected.)

I'm so excited about the prize for this one! The Charleston Fire Department puts out a yearly calendar to benefit the Charleston Animal Society, so not only do we get our sexy firemen, but some adorable pets too. One winner with a correct answer will receive a 2014 calendar. 



 
The creative answer will receive a Bachelor Fireman gift pack. You have until 10am EST tomorrow to leave your answer(s), either here or on my Facebook page. Have fun!!

12 Days of Firemen - Day 1

Welcome to Day One of the 12 Days of Firemen! Let the games begin! Every day we'll have a new trivia question, and every day I'll award two prizes, one for accuracy (research is completely acceptable) and one for creativity. I'll choose randomly among the correct (or creative) answers.

Ready?

Trivia Question 1:

Why are Dalmatians fire department mascots?

Leave your answer in the comments here or join the rest of the party at my Facebook page. 

So what are you playing for? Today's top prize is a copy of the Fire and Spice Cookbook, which combines a firehouse cookbook and calendar in one drool-worthy item! This cookbook is created by the Brampton Fire Department and proceeds go to charity. In case you needed another reason to want it.

I'll post the correct answer and the winner tomorrow by noon EST. Good luck! And if you'd like more fireman fun, don't forget to stop by my Facebook page.

Twelve Days of Firemen

To celebrate the holiday season and the release of DESPERATELY SEEKING FIREMAN on December 31, you're invited to a special event on my Facebook page and here on the blog. Get ready for 12 DAYS OF FIREMEN! 

Each day will include a new trivia game, a new prize, and some fireman fun! Prizes will include books, firefighter cookbooks, mugs, and other special holiday gifts. Many of the prizes support various fire departments and their holiday charity efforts. I call that a win-win. :-)  The event starts on December 19 and ends on December 31, with a day off on Christmas. 

Most of the party will take place on my Facebook page, but every trivia question will also be posted here on the blog. One note: accuracy in answering the question is important, but I'll also give a prize for creativity. :-) So: one winner will be chosen randomly from those who got the answer right, or approximately right. A second-place winner will be selected based on the creativity of their response.

I'll post the correct answer and the winners each day before the next question goes live. 

Other rules: 

You will have until 10am EST the following morning to post your answer.

If you win, you have a week to send me your mailing information.  

This event is in no way sponsored or associated with Facebook. 

I hope you'll join us!
