All is ok up here. we have had 3 search and rescues this past week where one guy was found in glennie at the bar, one guy was found in mio, and a family was found in one of the heating shacks on one of the trails up here and quite a few medical. our chief told us we were having a slow month for calls a couple weeks ago and last week he apologized for saying it. it has been busy to say the most.

Hi Paul Hows things across the bay?

Thanks for the warm welcome. I love the site and looking forward to having the support of others as I start my Fire classes in Jan. I may have to take you up on your offer to stop in ,I am up in Northern MI often.

Thank you! I always try to stay positive :) It is a lot of work, but it will be well worth it! I'll be doing something I love to do, and provide a great future for my daughter. There will be some great role models in her life, too! :) Good luck to your brother!
