I am on a CISM team and there are a lot of good and valid points being thrown out in this forum. Its really too bad that we have to disagree and berate each other to get points across. While not being versed on the "studies or research" end of the...

Tana-Yes, I am a member of our county wide CISM Team. I would say the same as "Oldman" - you can't MAKE them talk, you can provide them with the avenue and tools and let them make that choice. Remember, you have a debrief, you are systematically p...

Uh. . .wet. Need water to knock down the fire. Having it charged and bled off allows you proper stream, ensures that you don't have kinks to impede flow,etc. We do use "House Lines", a leader line system-2 1/2" line with a gated wye, then 1 1/2" b...

Yes, I have this book and believe that it can very helpful to the small dept. I used it quite often when I would lead my company in company training activities. It covers a large topic base and gives you a idea of how long it takes to prepare and ...

Art-thank you so very much for letting us, total strangers, have a look at the love of your parents and family. And yes, hand written letters are so moving. I remember getting my first letter from my son while he was in bootcamp in the Marines. It...

I think a simple straight blade screwdriver or small pry tool placed strategically at the place of connection to the vehicle ( i.e.-where screw meets plastic ) does best. As a former UAW worker I know that those pillars aren't on there with much a...

Hi Chaplain Mike, it's nice to befriend you. I am a Eucharistic Minister and religious teacher in my spare time. It's nice to see someone like you on the site. Have a good day!

Mike, Welcome to CFA. I hope you enjoy this group. I ask that you take time to reply to some discussions or start some. If its prayer you need, let us know. Speaking of which, My son needs some prayer for physical healing. He spilled Ammonia in both eyes 6 days ago and still has not recovered his sight. He is twenty years old and due to get married in October. We really could use a lot of prayer. Anyhow, Stay safe and keep looking up.
