I'd question the value of several years of that 25 years of learning in regards to fire and rescue. It's pretty unusual for a two-year-old to learn anything that's pertinent to an interior structural firefight.

If you are serious about the question you asked, I'll give you a serious answer. I'd change the comment to something a little more realistic if I were you.

I'm not flaming, mind, just offering my $0.02

Thanks very much for the request, and drop me a comment any time... nice to "meet" you. :-)

At 10:10pm on July 20th, 2008, Ben Waller said…: We do have a ride-along program. Due to local insurance and OSHA regs, you'll have to sign a waiver, and you won't be able to do anything except observe. If you're going to be in the area, let me know with a week or so of advance notice and I'll work on getting you set up.

At 10:02pm on July 20th, 2008, Ben Waller said…: We run 8 medics, 7 engines, a truck/rescue, and a battalion chief out of 7 houses. We also have several unstaffed special units - a USAR/heavy rescue, a hazmat, a rehab bus, a utility (air and incident support), two small boats and two large tenders. The tenders are giant brush trucks - we don't do mobile water supply. We also run a daytime engine and medic that are used for training and peak hour coverage.

Two of our front-line engines are quints with 75-foot rearmount aerials. One of the others is a rescue pumper that carries our backup set of extrication promise.

Crimson Fire is building the new pumpers. We have requested a second truck company, but are unsure if we'll get it. If we don't get the 2nd truck, we have a backup plan to upgrade two of the new pumpers to quints in order to keep the ISO ladder credit at our current level.

The pumpers will be foam pumpers, with the possibility of upgrading to CAFS at a later date.
