whats up everyone

It is quiet in here.
Make everyday a training day and be safe everyone

Wildland season has started east of the cascades!

I hope more Oregon fire fighters get involved with this site soon!

Hello Does fire fighters that used to live in Oregon who were oregon fire fighters, join in here also? I started firefighting in Ione (1992) then other depatments in Morrow and Umatilla county's. I'm in Montana now. I left Oregon 6 years ago and moved here to Montana.

Wildland season is off and burning. We have a couple of good ones. We're still getting a lung full of the smokes from the Happy Camp CA fires. Everyone be safe out there !

Our area is stunned by the accident. We lost soooome good men. The co-pilot that survied is from my town and is friend. i'm trying to keep updates on my site for anyone interested.

So what all been going on back in oregon? I have been in Iraq for the last year so I a little behind. I know Norfolk Va lost 2 firefighters this month in a fire. Hope all are being safe for the holidays.

Hope everyone has a wonderful christmas and happy new year. SATY LOW AND STAY SAFE

Always staying low. Have a merry Christmas and a very happy New Year.

I think I'll start a fire in here so everyone will be responding to see whats up. Way too quiet in here.

How do you plan to do that? Start a fire in here that is. LOL

well, all these firemen and EMS people in here someones bound to have a flare. We're in business

Hoping the fact that no one comes in here is any example of us Oregon emergency folks. Come on lets make some noise.

Its crankin up to be a hot and dry summer. Better get the wildland gear out and the boots ready. GIT ER DONE!

Morning everybody. I know the weather has been beautiful lately but let's keep our heads on our shoulders and be safe this summer

Any departments out in Oregon doing EMS prevention?

Rhys, is there anything besides Sage brush to burn in Grant County? Have a great weekend Bro. Enjoy the liquid sunshine.

80 mph winds and rain here today. Ready for Summer.

Ok! since May 5th no one else has come in here and posted. Sunny and about 80 temp here today. Where are all those Oregon Firefighters and EMS persons? Summer is in full swing and kids are heading back to school next week.

Well, now its Sept 13 and still nobody here. HUMMMMMMMMMM
Gonna get the AED out and pump some life into this place.

ok you win No need for the AED...Fire fighting for me is so slow I'm dancing around hoping for a storm ..the rain Gods are against here..And how many American Indians died for that dance??? I keep waiting for a gunshot at me or someone calling in 911 for a nut case doing a rain dance in his field
Mike

Mike, hold off on the rain dance. Give us a couple more months of sunshine.

Rain dance is held off for a while since I will be starting a new venture starting on Monday at Timber Products in Medford...I will miss the friends and the smoke the sound of the roaring fire but ...I will always be a wildland firefighter and am hoping to become a volunteer again in my Gold Hill area. God bless to all

Good Luck Michael. Season is about to burn out anyhow. I think that last rain dance you did is finally gonna come home on us in a big way soon. Naw! you'll always have that Wildland Firefighter inside you forever! Always remember my days in the "HotShots"

1st day of the State EMS Conference is done. I more day to go. Good to see old friends and new ones too. Where are you?

I am taking a furlough day. I hope the conference is great. I have never been to one due to work schedules etc... It looked like it had some good stuff this year.

I agree with Chief Sharp, not much activity in here although it has picked up lately. Where is the EMS conference taking place?

The EMS conference was in Portland at Jansen Beach RED LION. I enjoyed the interaction and the training.

OK, so what big storm? Just more weather guy hype! We might have got a wee bit of drizzle. Wheres all the high winds, heavy rain. BLAH BLAH BLAH!
Oh, thats right they are just predictions. Sorta like going to a "Palm Reader"
STUPID!!!

Well its rain alot here in Gold Hill but we can almost say fire season for 2009 can go down in the books as ok but slow...Mike

Yup, a real quiet fire season for sure. BORING as a matter of fact,

An welcome Michael here too. You will see that apparently our friends around the State and Southern Oregon must be asleep and dont come in here often. Maybe they are just too busy. HUMMMMMM?

Happy Friday all! Beautiful day an the Gearhart Coast. Lets grab a pint @ the Sandtrap when your in town.

Merry Christmas an Happy New Year

Greetings everyone from WV, Ive been through Oregon and it was beautiful. Stay safe.

Hope everyone else is getting a jump on spring, it should happen here before too much longer. Snow still on the valley floor down to enterprise.

Cherry trees are in full bloom next to the Capitol Building in Salem! Hope it starts to get warm soon! I'm wanting to put the top down on the Jeep!
