    Check out Roll Call Groups and put some info about your Fire House in... Like to hear what your station is like, what you have as well as for number for firefighters as well as number of calls. Pass it around to your Firefighter Friends too....Easy way to located this group is go to my site and look at the bottom left. Short cut if you have a hard time locating this.

    Also as a Training Officer, theres the Trainers Corner too. Like to hear some of what your doing for training or what areas need to be addressed...

    Enjoy, and stay safe!

    hey Ben...I did see the reenactment photo.That's so cool. The Fredericksburg & Spotsylvania area is nice..places can be very congested but off the beaten path is very nice. I drive through that area everytime I go to Charles Town W.Va...Fredericksburg is 1 1/2 from me

    Hi Ben first thanks for adding me, and second, I know how it feels to lose a friend that means so much. After my ex left me it seemed the whole world was coming apart, then this past Jan. '06 my best friend was found dead in his bath room. To this day I still feel lost with out him. But so long as we remember the good times they will live on. Take Care and God Bless you ...
