Tough Decisions
I found myself in a rough spot and had to make a tough decision. It is with sadness that I have had to hang up the bunkers and turn in my pager in order to keep my family together. Whether or not I'll ever be a firefigher again is in the Lord's hands, may His will be done.

The Naming of Creatures.
The Bible doesn’t make mention of the Garden of Eden and its creation in Genesis 2 until after the making of Adam (Genesis 2:7, 8).

A little about me.
I started out in the Fire/EMS world at the age of 16 as an ambulance attendant with the Blossburg Ambulance Assoc., after having witnessed a staged drunk driving accident at my school. The Lord really worked in my heart that day. By the time I was 17 I was a junior firefighter with the Blossburg Fire Dept. as well. By the time I graduated I was an EMT/Firefighter. I went in the Army as an MP in 1993 and wasn't able to continue firefighting so I turned in my resignation. After toying with the ide… Continue

I've been a role player for tac team / sro's / eod a few times before and it's definitely a lot of fun despite the simunition bruises ya wind up with....
I've thought of it .... but everyone on our tac team is a 6'2" muscle bound male..... and i'm a 4'11" female lol.... I figure at least as an aviation officer/medic i can still do both and can always work the street on OT if i miss the "real officer" feeling......
stay safe,
~Marie
