  I wish I could say that I was responsible. Chief Kenney and the rest of the department made it happen. In fact, I am a new firefighter. At 59 I am told that I may be the oldest guy to get through FF1 training here in Monroe County.

  Dale, do you know of any clearing house for firefighters gear or equipment that companies who have can find companies who need it?
