I've never had the chance to talk with someone from your country. I live in Santa Barbara, California and have been involved with the fire service since 1973. I look forward to hearing back from you and getting to know one another. Stay safe buddy! Mike

    Martin, I am so proud to know that you would consider me your big brother. That's it, were now officially related my brother from a different mother! LOL : )

    I've been doing this job since I was 18 and I am turning 55 in January. My background includes working as a paramedic, flight paramedic, neonatal intensive care unit paramedic, firefighter, fire engineer, fire inspector, chemical facility inspector, apparatus driver, fire captain, hazmat team member and a bunch of other stuff... The point here is that I probably have the answer to whatever question you may have my friend. Just ask and thanks for your friendship. Stay safe little brother. Mike from Santa Barbara
