Questions about hybrids abound in the fire service today; many first responders have misconceptions about these vehicles and how these vehicles impact our jobs as firefighters and rescue personnel. Extri...
Hey Kirk - I always deducted mileage. You should really keep a log, which is kind of a pain, but you can deduct .50 some cents per mile, I believe. Mileage to trainings and meetings, also. Plus, anything (uniforms, tools, etc) is deductable. I wou...
A lot of it depends on how the city/county attorney interprets the issue. For FLSA, I used to be allowed as a career firefighter to volunteer in my department as long as I didn't do the same job: I am an engineer, therefore I was allowed to man a ...

- Good to hear you haven't partly frozen yet !
We 'll have a couple of drinks when you stop in Belgium later this year.
Enjoy the Antarctican winter in the meantime, and remember what all Inuit mothers teach their kids as their first sentence : don't ever eat yellow snow !
Cheers mate,
Eddy

- Bro,
Good to hear you enjoy the Antarctican sun so much !
Over here riding season has started, sofar we've been to the UK and France with the usual crew.
Besides these we've been out on local rides and we'd organised the National Burn Camp Run.
In two weeks we leave for Spain.
We have rendez-vous with Lolo and the Frenchie's in Paris.
From there we'll ride on nice back-roads to Spain to arrive there 5 days later.
Oberst Hans Von Jenner and Randy & Sue 'll be the only Yankees to ride with us this year.
As you are far away down under, Matt, Brian and Ken also cancelled their
participation. I presume this ha a lot to do with the global incertain times, which I fully undertand, but regret.
We 'll have a couple of drinks (sangria's) to your health and hope to be able to drink a couple with you on your hometrip.
There's a free stay in your Antwerp residence.
Right now I 'm remodelling the house in order to have it ready when you pass.
Regretting you wont be with us in Spain, sending you a little bith of European warmth.
Talk to you soon,
(Don't pee outside)

- Hiya Marty:
Antarctica? How wild is that? Hope you are well and enjoying the experience.
I think the only online thing out there is a webcast I did for Fire Engineering. www.fireengineering.com . Last I checked, you could listen in and view the content. Those things are sponsored for only a given amount of time and I have no control over it - they own it. I did do a new reading smoke DVD called "The Art of Reading Smoke - the Practrice Sessions". Fire Engineering will start selling it at FDIC later this month - but you'll have to wait for mail.
Stay safe brother!
