HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE FFN . FEEL FREE TO ADD ME AS A FRIEND IF YOU WANT TO, ONE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY FRIENDS IN THIS WORLD . HAVE A GREAT 08 AND STAY SAFE OUT THERE.

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.....

Everyone Goes Home

I have always wanted to go on an Alaskan cruise. I can't convince the wife to though. Hey take it easy up there.

Welcome to FFN, Michelle!
I have a high school friend whose lives up in Delta Junction.
Have A Super Weekend, now...

welcome to ffn tell your husband to stay safe

Im still trying. I havent given in yet. I think that would be an awesome trip. So your hubby is full time fire or vollie?

Thanks for the comments on the pics. He is a little handful. Rediculous. I feel like an idiot. I just read your decription of the department. Disregard previous question.

You hit the nail on the head with the wine comment. Moments of silence are so few and far between that silence and quitness actually makes me nervous.

Hey, I joined your group. I am a firefighter in Delta, Add me if ya want.

I work at Gerrly, what a small world!

Good morning!
Thanks for adding me to your list. Chances are I have run into your husband over the years (I also have been in the Fire/medical service for over 10 years). I run with Chugiak Fire and rescue, Valdez Fire and Rescue and I am a paid Captain with Alyeska fire and rescue. My wife and I spend a lot of time in the Butte of Mod road riding four wheelers, snow machining and boating. Maybe we can all get together for a trip?
Have a great and safe day!!

Hi I have you on myspace as a friend
