Chappy from Florida - A newbie or probie here

I am grateful to find this place. I started in the Fire Service at age 65 as a Certified Fire I Fire Fighter and as Chaplain for a wonderful combination department. I am now 72 years old and love the Fire Service. Chappy

Welcome, Chappy!

This is a very educational place, alright. I have learned a lot from the members and see up to date emergency services-related news here daily.

Stay safe and keep the rest of your guys out of trouble too!

Hi Chappy,

Like you I started in the fire service late in life and I'm also our Department's Chaplain. Both of which I had no prior experience. This site has helped big time in gaining valuable info from the seationed firefighters here. Welcome to the brotherhood.
