I would love to be a firefighter again. Don't get me wrong I love being Chief , but it is very hard to stand outside knowing all the fun is happening inside. Have to really hold myself back from packing out & grabbing a line out of habit. What's really hard is not being able to do extrication because that is where I really have my fun.

I would like to have the job of going around to every fire house and closing it down because due to some magical, miraculous invention, we are no longer needed.<br />

Sorry folks, for bumping this back.. I just read Cap bzzeeee's kind words and wanted to say thanks. Its much appreciated, and gives me even more reason to fight back and get back to work as soon as I can.<br />
This site is the only real connection to the fire service I have right now, and as you can tell, I have opinions! lol<br />
Yes, thats the 2nd Engine 51 (the first was the ALF open Cab) Ward Lafrance. Ahead of it, was the original Dodge squad 51 with the famous Federal twin sonic light bar.<br />

Me could me a Ward. That sounds more correct than ALF. But I will take comfort in the fact that I at least got the LeFrance part right :).

In 19 years I have been on the Tiller, Ladder, Heavy Rescue, Tanker, and Engine. Been in the front in the back and behind the wheel. In all the years the one place I love the most...... is right beside that rookie and watching him become a firefighter. The look in their eyes, and the reaction to their getting their cherry popped.

Was it an ALF, or a Ward LaFrance? It looks boxed and I thought ALF's were more rounded. My first rig was a Ward, that's why I wonder. I am ashamed to admit, I only ever saw three episodes of Emergency. I hang my head in shame.
