What is RSS anyway?
RSS is short for Really Simple Syndication. It's a way that we can provide you with product updates quickly, easily, and in a format you can use in a few different ways. An RSS file is a type of XML document containing summaries, links, images and other information that is read by an RSS reader (called an "aggregator") or used to post the content to other sites (most commonly on blogs).

What can I do with it?
We recommend using an RSS aggregator so you can receive regularly updated information such as new user submitted stories. An RSS aggregator is a way to regularly get updates from many web sites using their RSS feeds, not just REALfirefighter. So that means you can have your RSS aggregator tell you when there is new information at REALfirefighter.com.

How does it work?
Once you decide what RSS aggregator or reader you will use, just add the links above (the Stories link in the big grey box) to your list of subscribed feeds.
