Well, I am not the youngest on my department, by a long shot, as I started my career later in life. After my kids were older and able to handle the shift schedule alittle better.
I am a competitive Powerlifter and compete at the International level. So when I am not at the station I am one of two places -- the gym or working with my Boxer puppy.
Well, wanted to be a medic, but fell in love with firefighting during rookie class. Always love helping people -- and the adrenaline rush ain't to bad either. LOL I love the family type atmosphere in the fire service as well as structure.
Hi Malinda-Just read your profile. You caught my interest when you said you still power lift. How is that going for you? I used to lift when I was younger, but growing up I was a bit hard on my body and I'm paying for it now. Can't lift any where near what I once was capable of doing. But I still stay active with the sport-more so as a spectator and assisting the younger guys on my department with their lifting. I'm also the PT for my department. I would be interested in hearing what you do for your workouts.
Take care and stay safe!!!

Hey Malinda!
How's things going over your way?
It was a beautiful day here. I had CBRNE Training this morning at our local hospital then worked in the yard the rest of the day.
No calls for us today, which I'm surprised since it was hot.
Well, hope all is fine with you.
Take Care!
