    I am a firefighter in NJ and recently just bought a web domain located at www.firehouse-forums.com My intention with this web site is to create a online bulletin board system for firefighters to talk back and forth and exchange ideas.

    I was curious and was wondering if anyone can provide any insight on whether or not I would be infringing on any copyright or trademark with another website located at: http://forums.firehouse.com/

    I plan on my site being completely different but I was curious on the similarity with the names.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    As long as your content is not the same, you are all set with the domain. You can, by the way, use the same backend that they are using.

    They have a good start on you, but that is what makes it fun!
