I LOVE Bad weather. Love it. Up here in Maine, the more snow that falls the better! I enjoy testing both my truck, and my driving skills in all the powder. That way when a call comes, I can drive my self safety where ever i need to go. Stay safe

Firefighters that are weather junkies

Beside enjoying Fire & Rescue I enjoy Weather, the wilder the better. Occasionaly I come accross web sites dealing with weather, [ Pictures, Videos, Facts, etc; ]. So I am more than happy to share these with everyone, and get some feed back from others. So to start if you would like to see some great pictures of the Station Fire go to
http:// www.boston.com/bigpicture/2009/09/wildfires in southern californ.html , let me know what you think

Hi Mike. I must have missed your comment to me about my husband and son being on the same department. My husband and son both say the same thing: it's cool going to fires together. My question is: does your wife think it's cool? LOL.
