This is a place where we can sit down, put our feet up and chill. Where the Boys and Girls can just be themselves. The Back Room or what most firefighters call a ''day room or rec room'' is the social point of every firehouse.

The EPA no longer supports the bug bombs for the bed bug issue - since the chemicals have been identified as seriously dangerous to people and pets. So the professionals "steam them out" ... and at this rate, soon I WILL BE AS SKILLED AS A PROFESSIONAL !

lol - did you ever notice how your house seems small when it is full of people???

until you have to micro steam clean every inch over and over and then the same space seems like a freaking 5 story mall - full of sh*t !!!

I like that style...LOL. Hope it continues to work for you. We have been warned to be aware of German Cockroaches here and, on one of the fires that I was at, we were told that this structure was known to have them so we were to leave our turnouts outside and allow them to freeze before doing anything else with them. Not sure what we do during the warmer months now other than setting off some type of fumigation bomb or something.

Good Luck

lol... UN-invited is the key !

Los Angeles is having a hug outbreak of Bed Bugs... strange influx that they have not seeni 50 years.

Apparently it takes on average - 3 exterminator trips - to the tune of $15,000 to make them extinct :(

I am trying the self-service extermination - MacGyver style - steaming them out !!!

LOL- Kind of my track of thought as well, Heather

Glad you're getting a handle on your uninvited guests.

oooo I love 4th of July in Rhode Island. My cousins lived in Providence most of the years when I was growing up and we spent many many fun times there. Jim, I hope you have a little fun in amongst all that work. The fire works are especially awesome ;-) [and dangerous]... But fingers crossed you get some good quality family time, BBQ/grill time, and a little relaxation.

Ernie - glad there are practicals : )

lol - middle of nowhere + technology - commuting = awesome !!!

Heather- It sounds like there will be at least five trips to where they are teaching from for practicals, but at least it won't require four hours of driving for every day of class...the luxuries of seemingly living in the middle of nowhere...lol.

Hey Jim - great to see you! How are you doing?

Now on to the puppy...

I AM SOOOO ANGRY... IT IS TOO HOT FOR HUMANS TO GO OUTSIDE... LET ALONE PETS... TRAPPED...

Last year I was offered a job by the county to mediate animal neglect and cruelty cases like this one for the court - but I could not do it - because I love animals and there is no way I could be neutral...

I agree with your punishment x's 100 !!!
