Hi All,

My name is Chris Emery, and I'm a reporter for the The Baltimore Sun.

I'm working on an article about specialty social networking sites -- like FirefighterNation.com.

My premise is that MySpace and Facebook aren't the only games in town anymore. People are also joining sites like this one focused on a specific topic of interest.

If your a Baltimore-area firefighter and you'd be willing to talk with me about why you became a member of this site and what it's meant for you, I'd appreciated it if you'd give me a call. I'd need to talk with you by 6 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 20.

My number is 410-332-6855. My email is chris.emery@baltsun.com.

Thanks,

Chris
