    Hi,

    Nice looking dog! Is he trained for USAR or tracking or both?

    Hey, Mike, I don't know, I have not gotten the results back on the written test; which, if you have yours already, might not be a good sign.

    Check out Roll Call Forum 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....

    Got the big envelope from the Fire Academy, and I sure am glad; that written test was a pretty tough. Maybe it was just that fact that I did not get much rest because of that fire call the night before. I did not ask how you did because I am sure you did great.
