This group is a journey through my life in the fire service. I come from a background of volunteer and paid, and also am on my journey to my suppression instructors card. I invite you to read and comment on some of my life's endeavors as I cover past and present stories in my career. I will tell you stories ranging from department fund raising to fire ground stories. Please remember and take into consideration that these are my stories and opinions. I strongly encourage you to leave feedback to the topics presented wether good or bad. I will try to give as much backstory as I can with every instance as I can. So let's make it interesting and have fun with this! Also remember all people in my stories have had their identities changed due to privacy laws. All my stories are true. None of them or any part of them is made up or embellished!
