The protech gloves mentioned earlier in the post are amazing! My dad happens to sell fire equipment so I had the opportunity to try on a lot of different types of gloves and the protech ones are by far the best for small hands!

- Hey Kim...What is your Dad's name? I retired from the SFD in 1998 and was a dispatcher on C shift after being a class 5 paramedic. Enjoy your fire fighting. Isn't it a blast?

- Hey!
My name is Amanda and I am trying to figure out what products are best for female firefighters. I have worked as a firefighter for only three years so I am just getting started. Currently I am a student at Eastern Kentucky University in in the Fire & Safety Engineering Technology Program. Although I have only been a firefighter for three years I have had my fair share of small gloves that were still too big and pants that went up to my belly button! I was wondering if you could take the time out of your busy schedule to share some of your favorite/best fitting/most functional products for female firefighters. Weather it’s an awesome fitting pair of pants, A polo shirt that has sleeves that do not go down to your elbows, a pair of great gloves, or boots that have an awesome fit. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your opinions with me. Thank you very much. Please feel free to e-mail me back at amanda_cherry4@eku.edu or leave me a comment.
Stay Safe,
Amanda Cherry

Congratulations on the baby. This is a tough situation but I think it probaly would be best to move on. it will be his loss for the decision and trying to force it on him probably won't make the situation any better. if your son grows up with a st...
It seems like there was alot of free lancing... If your reading smoke, u can see that the fire was still in an early stage when video started.. its easier to take an uncharged line up a multiple story by using the flaking method to advance it. Whe...
Welcome to anyone who love sci-fi whether it be movies, TV, books or anything. Personally my favorite sci-fi franchise is Star Gate (all of them).
