Initially fullfilled childhood fantasy. What kid doesn't grow up wanting to be a firefighter. Fortunately, I had a chance to live that dream.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
that those that do not do it, will never understand. How to explain adrenalin rush? Trauma Junkie? How to explain, from the mere sound of a siren miles away, that you know what unit it is.
That is an awesome pooch you got there....I had a shepherd...I had to give him away when I left for Iraq...Will be getting another when I have time to devote to another K9....
We do not always use a shabrack on our dogs. Especially if we are doing evidence searches or other hush hush operations. So we like to train without a vest as well. This way no matter how we go out, vest or not, they will work on command and of course in Bear's world, with passion. BTW if we are out on the bay or anything with the possibility of rough water, they also have a PFD with leash attachments. Out in the bay on a coast guard boat, we can hit a wave that'll send you up in the air, if the dog is hanging out on scent, overboard they can go.
HAHA, GOOD ONE! YEAH WE GET THAT ALOT. WELL THAT PICTURE WAS TAKEN LAST YEAR, WHILE I WAS STILL A FIRE CADET. CADETS WEAR RED FIRE GEAR SO THEY ARE NOTICED BY THE OTHER GUYS ON THE DEPARTMENT. I GOT MY TAN GEAR THIS YEAR!
HEHE, no, he went to work as truck driver and now he is back workin as a deputy sheriff, so the house is definately not clean and tidy as i am never there anymore either....lol
I do for hobby now. I stepped down from firefighter when I had my daughter and so I started taking the photos for training use so I could still be part of the department.
It was a completly exterior attack. Owner was on location and reported that there was 1000 gal fuel tank and propane tanks in the building. Lots of handlines and a ladder was used. As usual it was set bak from road with poor access. Long lay in from the hydrant.
First of all, what a beautiful dog!!! And secondly, thanks for the add.
So in what part of PA is Monroeville? I've only seen a tiny bit of PA when I'v been up to the National Fire Academy. Have you ever had the chance to go there? If your area looks like that area, you live in some gorgeous country!
It is with deepest regret that I announce the passing for Fire Chief Lenny Bailey, II. Chief Cailey died while responding to a commercial structure fire in Elizabeth Boro. Allegheny County, PA. Deepest condolences to the Chief's family, and the members of Allegheny County Station 139.
You know....that means a lot to me.....especially since I am divorcing a FF and now feel somewhat out of he loop per say (oddman out). Thanks a lot....I appreciate that!Always my support...always be safe.....

have some 150 photos of apartment fire on Maple Avenue, Allegheny County, PA. Unfortunately, I have very slow computer, so it is going to be a time consuming process to get the best of the pics loaded. Stay tuned
Doing good...Going home safe is good...Back in Aug we had two from a diffrent department in my county that didn't make it home. This was a first for my county.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. I only hope I can be half the firefighter and person Ray was. Hope all is well out in your end of PA. Stay safe, and have a great New Years!
well, they both have their perks..for now i am finding out the likes and dislikes of the beach...so far it is a great place to hang out, bad to do homework on, great for the tan, bad for the ears and sinuses this time of year..lol so it remains a mystery, though my son and I are loving it so far!! I am still trying to get used to the people over here, but otherwise we are settling in well. Had a great new years, hope the same for you and yours
