About Me:
I would like to sit here and tell you guys that I'm the man, I'm ready, been there and got the t-shirt. you know / know it all/ educated but I'm still a rookie in training everyday. The one thing that I can tell you about myself is that I have a heart, I bleed red, and I have a passion for well making sure that in a crunch you will never second guess that I will be there for you. No one on my watch will be left behind. We go in together we come out together. So my training is on going, titles don't mean near as much to me as the bonds that we have and build that bind us together and know come crunch time all across this nation that our comrads are there for us. Remember why you are doing this. We are trully one. In together-out togehter.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS
There's no greater mission in life to have than a passion for helping, those in need, the brotherhood, a comaradary second to none. The friendships, the differences that we as firefighters make in the lives of those in need and that of our own. The absolute bond we share all across this nation when one of us falls. Keep safe out there my extended family. From beautiful Wicksburg, Alabama Chiefgrimes
Why I Love Fire/EMS

    I was browsing online and found this awesome site and couldn't help but want to be apart, I hope that I can get some good pointers in how to develop my page so that I can share with you guys what life has shared with me. thanks in advance for all you do, in my eyes there can be no better callin than to serve. and a special thanks to all our military men and women who make it possible to do what we do share this freedom with each other that we so often take for granted because it was given to us at a price we will never be able to repay, thanks chiefgrimes

    Training was pretty awesome. There is so much information to learn and with trainings like these past couple it makes the learning enjoyable and it tends to stick. I hope we can have more of the same in the future. The boat is ready, I hope that we will be able to go in the next couple of weeks.

    HI Paul, Thank you for you kind words. And Yes, I think it has chosen him. It is deffinatly in him, he has been hanging around the fire house with his grandpa since he was about 6 years old, so I would say its in his blood. He will be a 3rd generation. His father was a fireman but was injured at his other job and had to quit both. He is a WONDERFUL CHILD. My Angel. At first I was not happy with his choice of careers, as I have watched you guys come to my ER, being I worked in one for so long. I had to let him make his own choices and accept them. I support him in what ever he does and will be there no matter what. If he falls, pick him up, brush him off and push him out the door to do it again. At least that is what he tells to do. So I must obey.. Or else.. LOL
    Anyway, again Thank you for your kind words. They mean alot to a mother of a new fire fighter..
