About Me:
First and foremost trust in the LORD,if you let him in, He will led out.I started at the age of 6, setting beside my father blowing the air horns when I was told to. Setting in my fathers lap waiting on the meetings to be over. I was 8 when i watched my father run up on a porch and shove a 1 1/2 fog nozzle in to a window and then run into the house. To come out with snot and tears running down his face. Smoke Eater, thats what he was. thats when an air pack was put on the truck and no one knowed how they worked. We have progressed over the years and still we learn every day. I challenge everyone in the emergency service to look after themselves and their brothers and sisters. I challenge you to take a young ff and teach him the right ways, not this is how it was and will be. The next ff thats walks through the door will be the next officers of our future. Brothers & Sisters, LOVE YOUR FAMILY at home and at work, you never know what the last words will be.
