Have good news
Have some good news from Michigan for a change. My wife has been set for her final surgery, this date is set for Septemeber 3, 2008. This should end her surgeries for quite a while. She was diagnosed with breast cancer in September 6, 2006. This will be the final step of reconstruction. Then all that she will have is doctor appointments. This has been a hard road, but now that everything has worked out we are greatly relieved. She found out she was cancer free in November of 2007. This was also… Continue

small town technical training
I am from a small town and we dont do alot of calls a year. We dont run rescue, technical rescue, or hazmat. But does this mean that we dont need the training? I just got my hazmat tech certificate, and hope i never need to use the training in my community. I have been asked why i wanted to have that if we don't do that kind of work. My reply is if I need it i have it. As my instructors always tell us it another tool in our tool box. With each and every class I take I find that this is more true… Continue

3 trapped firemen
Here in MIchigan we had 3 firemen get trapped in a two story house fire. The roof collapsed on them, and in the worst part of the day 2pm. They were short handed for most of the fire, but had enough help to get them out thankfully. They had atleast 4 departments there with engines, tenders and one ariel. That is a devistating thing to happen here in this area. I have never heard of anything like this here before. Thankfully they all got out with just minor injuries. This just proves that IT can… Continue

the fire fighter party
Yes I am hosting a fire fighter party. I have made some real good life long friends on here and would like to make more. This will be a free willed weekend and should be a blast. We are a young couple and hope to have plenty of friends to share stories and to party with for the weekend. Bring your camper or tent and be ready to party. Check out the forum and reply to my yahoo account wright48850@yahoo.com if you are interested in coming. See you in June

attitudes
Why in a world of war, starvation,and disease do people have to have an attitude over little things. The little things shouldn't get us worked up, but for most of us it does. If we have no more of a life than that we are pretty sad. If we have all this time to nitpick at what everyone says then we need a hobby. So in short we need to do somethng besides complain about little things in this time of sorrow.

take care rando
Your right, my hours lately have been insane. We worked 3 days and 4 nights on Fishers Island New York last week. 40 hours in 3 days and 53 for 5. Not a bad paycheck of $1345. :):)
I am glad to hear things are better, I hope it keeps getting better, I should be on some this week, and more in the next few weeks with bowling season ending soon. Between work, the firehouse and bowling, I have had very little time with the exception of a quick hello here and there.
Be well bro, it is nice hearing from you.
Has nothing to do with firefighting, but sure is worth a smile and laugh :)
