Robert, I remember Rescue 8 so we must be in the same generation. Did a google search and found a web site that you can purchase a complete dvd set of the complete series. Go to http://www.tvaddicts.tv/movie/action/Rescue_8.html. Hope this helps y...
In the ABC show of the 1980's, the show was called CODE RED focused around a family of firefighters and a adopted fire bug, I do beleive.

I would love the idea of a masonic patch and/or a masonic helmet decal. I currently wear a shrine sticker on my helmet, and it has been the subject of many a discussion on the way home from a call. I have used it as an opportunity to spread the wo...
Brother Robert I like your idea of the patch it is an honor to make it through fire school and it is a great honor to be asked to join the brotherhood of the masons.

Sounds good to me.
Hay guys, I went back through and read the replies from the start of this idea and I think it would be great for either or both you can count me in for 6 of each. I just finished the 1st degree for 5 of our fellow fireman now to be brothers so i t...

Brother Baker,
This sounds like a fine idea. Shall we take suggestions from other bretheren on the design?

Greeting Brother Baker,
This is a great idea for patches and decals. I have a few from e-bay also for fire and ems. Also the decals can be in different sizes, ie. for the car, truck, helmet, motorcycle and home windows. And yes proceed should go t...
Thank you, Holly, I see you only understand too well what I am saying here. Somehow we gotta get these young bucks too slow down and start thinking SAFETY remember it was burning when 911 was called and its still gonna be burning when we get there...
Ive gotta agree with you on this one. Our station has had a kind of "turn over" in volunteers resently and it seems like the younger crew taking over dont understand the concept of non emergency. Its all out balls to the wall for every call. Peopl...

- Well, It was a family thing, grandfathers, my father, uncles, you get the picture. And as my father said ' the worst thing I ever did was take that boy to the firehouse" when he was 2y/o since then he's there 24/7.

Yes, the fire service was in my blood. Thanks Dad.

The other thing to consider when using dry powder is the mess. May not sound like a big deal, but you've never seen a P.O-ed homeowner until you've seen one standing in the living room looking at the coating of B-C powder over the entire house.
