    Check out the some of the Groups, I have started up "Close Calls" an area to tell your story of what you did and should not of so others learn. "Roll Calls" this is another group that allows you to tell us about your station and district. "Trainers Corner" is another area that you can read about issues other trainers have or deal with. As well if your not a trainer you can ask questions or state concerns you have. If you have a hard time locating them just go to my site and look at the bottom left hand corner.

    Enjoy, be safe and remember we all come home.

    I just added some new photos of the new gear the Dpet had bought for some of us. they were replacing the oldest gear and working forward. my only complaint is that it is too clean looking, I need a couple of fires to break it in HAHA

    Hi John, I'm Phyllis from Jefferson Fire Department, I have been with the department since 1971 and now a dispatcher. I do not go to fires anymore as I have a bad back. I help with anything I can for the department and I pray for the guys when they go out.
