There was a lot of hype about this being a very bad wildfire year in all of Washington. I am a bit surprised that there has not been more fires this year, but thankful that there has not been. Maybe we should send some more resources to California...
Wow, mighty critical of a TV show. We all know it is not real life! The other thing to remember is Fireifghters are also not God's. There is a lot of truth in the show and there is a lot of Hollywood. I am first to tell you that not all firefighte...

I am just curious to find out how many other bases/posts/installations out there do the Wildland Firefighting mission and what standards do you require? We have been NWCG & DNR sanctioned as a teaching entity since 2004. We stay with the NWCG Stan...

Always remember, Never forget!!!
Tomorrow is another passing of September 11th. I look back in solemn remebrance of that fateful day when we lost 343 of our bravest. I was working that morning, getting ready to go off shift when we turned on the news and were shocked to see the unfolding drama. We sat in silenced awe as we watched the news show the second tower being hit. Since we are on the west coast it was taking time for this to sink into our minds as the events continued to unfold. Questions ran though the crews watching o… Continue

- I just joined this site, I'm a former firefighter as I am currently a truck driver even though I do local hauling and I am home every night I found working to purchase a house and the maintenance of the house to preclude me from being an active firefighter. My problems were really compounded when while working a local lying detective accused me of the profanity and conduct of another person while dealing with an accident scene I was a witness of. While I have the utmost respect for the honest hardworking police officers and their superiors, the liars should be exposed and removed. The cost to me for the lies of the detective were huge.

Ladder 49 is a chick-flick. That's as simple as I can put it.It is a love story and is all mixed up. He had a kid that was 10 but he was still a rookie. Then movie never showed when he had a second child either. As soon as the movie started and I ...
What about the classic Towering Inferno?
Man that sucks. We can actually have dispatch get ahold of PD if a car passes us while running lights and sirens if we have a plate number. If the cops can't find the vehicle, I think they send a ticket in the mail. I think.
