Have a great weekend and thanks again for being part of our social network!
Doing good here. Had a funeral for the FD chaplin yesterday. He was 90 trs old & was a firefighter for over 57 years. He will be missed. i had the honor of being a pallbearer & honor guard during the church services. It was an emotional day, especially when they played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes. But, today I'm doing better. Hope ya having a good day. Stay safe & have fun!
No, I guess I was not clear. Paramedics make $23,000 to start and nurses make $40,000 to $44,000 to start. That is a differance of around 20,000. If they have a 4 year degree and get put in critical care they make $50,000.
Sorry for being unclear.
Hey Brother not sure why I left but it had to do with a shovel and freezinnnnnnnn
How ever I do miss the seasons except for the white on Peace stay safe
Busy weekend here. Two fire at the university in the last 48 hours. Both around midnight, First one involved pallets in a building under construction.. The second one was the concession stand at the stadium, fully involved upon arrival. Slept about 8 hours in the last 48. Gonna hit the sack in a few. Talk to ya later!
Well you have to realize that this is a volunteer fire department also. There are only three of us that are senior fire fighters in our department. Me being one of them. So that is why only 5 years. Our past chief resigned because he was getting ready to get booted out. Alot of our firefighters quit or retired. We are in a very small community in the Texas hill country which is growing. Everyone knew the old chief and didnt want any part of him so they quit because of his temprement and personality. Now we have all new firefighters. Everyone is going to a firefighter 1 class in October and Novemer. We are in Medina county and most of our fire depts are volunteer. Its pretty quiet aroud here now since we have had alot of rainfall. Most of our fires are grass fires or controlled burnes out of control. Or we are called to accidents to help out there.
We appreciate all of the response we had. the academy has a 30 man response team that went to that same area. We stayed in Gulfport but worked in the Waveland area. It was like nothing Ive ever seen. Nice to meet you and stay safe out there.
Well about 20 first responder calls but I'm not qualified as EMT yet so 2 calls I was allowed to respond to was a car wreck and a car fire.When ever I get more training and course options I will be able to respond to any call I have.Right now I'm in the process of 1152 I'm in my 3rd week but Monday will start week 4.1152 is bsic fire class
Hey there, I am glad to met you. Well, I do like the photo of the Meijer truck, thats only because I worked for Meijer in Benton Harbor for 6yrs. so I think it funny. I hope that no one was hert. So you grew up around here or not?
Park Forest is about 20 miles south of Chicago. The guys in Arlington Heights, Rolling Meadows and Elgin think that you will fall off the edge of the earth once you get south of I-80. Park DForest if just south of I-80 and east of I-57. If you travel here from Michigan you would pass close by getting to Chcago.
Park Forest is known for being the first planned community designed specifically for returning WW II veterans.
Hey HamBone22. Thanks for the hit. Make that trip and ride with the Steadman Station Crew. Those guys will show you a good time and you'll get some good action there. Be Safe and Blessed.
Good to see more MI firefighters on here, You get alot of action in G.R. - get quite a few MI fire updates from that area, heard about the fallen building two weeks ago..
