Thanks for the nice comments .. I have had a lot of fun working on my page. I enjoy finding new gadgets to place on there welcome to FFN have fun and be safe out there.
I'm trying to find a picture of myself in uniform to post. It's rather difficult since I am the unofficial team photographer and am usually taking all the pictures! The border picture to the right was taken during one of our team trainings. The photo at the top was taken after team members located a missing hiker and met the helicopter so the subject could be airlifted out of the canyon.
One of my favorite experiences was being hoisted off a mountain by helicopter. Nothing like dangling 10,000 feet in the air from a cable!
Hello fellow SAR member. Your part of the search sounds very interesting and I think my agency could benifit from some rope training. Hope we can share some info in the future.
Thanks for the invite. I look forward to talking with you in the future. It sounds like we have a few things in common and I am always out to pick other peoples brains for info and ideas.
Hello Mysteryy from Indiana. I am also with a Sheriff's Department. Hope everything goes well with your process to become Level II reserve. Have a safe 08.
Welcome to the Firefighter Nation. In addition to the relatively cool videos and fire scene photos, there are numerous groups, discussions and chat available.
If you have never had the opportunity, take a minute to explore firefighterclosecalls.com and the secret list. This is a wonderful web site to explore and learn from the mistakes of others. It is also, sadly, a roll call of those whom have made the ultimate sacrifice, in their service to their communities.
We have all joined the Public Safety Community for a variety of our personal reasons. Some of us are paid, while others volunteer. Many are firefighters, while others enjoy the EMS side of the house. We have active firefighters, line officers, chiefs, administrative officers, and a number of old timers who have seen most of the mistakes already made at least once. We have firefighters with many many years of experience, and others that, well, don’t. All are welcome here in The Nation. We welcome your input, just as we hope that you learn from the experiences of others.
Personally, I have 31 years service to the local fire department. I have held most line officer positions, and some administrative as well. Now part of the Old Guard so to speak, I am less inclined to go charging into where others are trying to escape. Instead, I choose to monitor the fire scene closely, attempting to ensure the safety of all on the fire scene.
I welcome you to the FFN. Here we all share one common goal.....
