- About Me:
- , Been with the fire service my entire life. My step father was a firefighter and its been my dream to be a fireman. I work for State Department of Transportation as a highway engineer, for the past few years I have helped with several high profile state jobs in my region. I used to be in a band. I enjoy looking and collecting various types of fire equipment, and keeping up to date with my neighboring department "stuff". I also enjoy trucks, looking at them driving them and keeping posted at new technology.
- Day Job:
- NYSOT Highway Engineer
- Top Issues Facing Responders:
- Legal issues regarding equipment mandates. Various requirements brought on by various groups. The issue of dwindling vollunteer forces, and the time and money involved to become an officer. Its very hard to run a BMW department on a used Civic budget
- I Love Being in Fire/EMS Because:
- Its just a rush that nothing else can ever replace, and very few people understand why I do what I do.

If yohavent already cehck out the HOW they are made video it tells youhow They paint them they spray the top and hand brush the underside.. go figure
But that helmet was worn by a member of my FD that had been on for 50 Years.
He called it quite's recently so the CHIEF and ASS CHIEF Gave me the helmet and got me a leather front for it.
There is 50 years of knowledge sittin in that helmet. Im going to wait to buy a leather.
