My condolences to the family and the dept.May the risen Jesus Christ give you comfort.
Matthew , its plain that you have no future as a political leader,You can think.Politicians as a whole think no farther than the next election.I am glad to know that there are some young men like you out there.
30,000 people pulled off of roof tops a mayor that didn't listen,a governor who refused to act.I am not real sure FEMA botched anything under president Bush.
We are the ones who will end up paying for all of the package.More than likely the money will all go to Cities and the folks out in the sticks (who really need help)will never see a dime . But we can feel good because our money went to pay for the...

Ray Edwards said… - Sorry it took so long.I wanted to verify who you would need to talk to.Bill Barnes would be your contact at (501)622-8246.The person that is at the top is Bob Summerville.Bill will get you in touch with him.Basically again , the program is as follows.You identify your needs and apply for a boat.The boats come without fire supplies.You will have to outfit it.The boats are available to depts. as they arrive.They have to be docked in a covered dock.You agree to train yearly with all of us.We get together once a year.The newer boats go to the existing programs first.Hey , we got two great boats for our first as the pictures show.Alot depends on how you put it together.Bill can help more or if you have questions, let me know.Be safe and God Bless.

Sounds like your in IN.
I used to live there. I am now in KY. I love it in KY. If you want, you can run a red light with siren. Your vehichle is an emergency vehichle by law. Saying that, you better have reason to run those, but we have full power...
These thoughts could very easily be applied to the fire service.
I especially like "If you know how far you can go, then that is as far as you will go".
Historically, the fire service has been crippled by "that's the way we have always done it", w...
Yes! SAVE THE TA TAS!!!
