    Randy: My message from atop my podium is always and will always be summed up in three words:
    Safety, Communications, & Teamwork! The fire service will reduce our LODD's if we change our culture. Chief Quinn

    RH: As a brotherhood, we are always learning. CNN, Main Street, classroom, bunk rooms . . . As the fire service progresses, we consistently upgrade our strategies and tactics and learn from watching, listening, showing, doing. All in the name of Safety, Communications and Teamwork. Be Safe

    RH: Training tips, I find the LODD a valuable lesson learned. In particular, the data on Technician Wilson is of enormous potential. Breaking apart the details of the entire sceanario is great training. The decision making from IC down through the ranks allows the fire service to learn from each other. Tragic deaths of a fellow brother are heart-wrenching and difficult, yet Technician Wilson and his department have allowed us to gain from that horrific event. Remain Safe, brother Chief Quinn

    Hi how ya doing. Sorry it took so long to get back to you I don't check this sight that often..... Lynn is on the northshore of Massachusetts about 15 mins north of boston. It was a bill mill shoe factory city back in its day so there were a lot of fires to be had so I am sure you probably read a lot about the city in magazines. I have lived here my whole life and love it. When did you leave Ct for Colorado?

    Yes I live in a firehouse, but not with career ff's only vol. ff's. but they treat the dept. as if it was a paid dept. the dept. im with is taunton fd for my bunk-in program. dont have to pay anything just in return just respond to fire calls and keep the station maintain. um we just only had one good signal 99 couple weeks ago in the town of solvay that call us in for truck company work, but it was pretty good. take it easy and stay safe
