It seems lately i have seen a lot of females signing up for FFN that have no direct relationship to firefighting. does make me wonder why are they here? looking for a husband or reallly interested in firefighting, ems or police work?
Anyone else get this same feeling?

Seems everything I post is being critical or whatever, but..
C'mon people..when you build your homepages..lets match the type color to the background..I see several pages, every time I look, that I cannot read because of color choices..
Remember we arent all young with 20/29 vision..and the clearer your pages are, the better the chance of others reading and making comments..

ARE YOU DOING MAYDAY TRAINING?

Posted on February 16, 2008 at 8:15pm 1 Comment 0 Likes

Today, I was privelaged to take my first real training for a mayday situation. Is your dept training for this, do you know what to do, and how to do it properly? I am sure a lot of depts out there have not had training If yours hasnt, i strongly reccomend that you have a training class as soon as possible..
