    Good looking kids bro,
    I like the buckle, wish our department could do something like that.
    What do use the bus for?

    well, i love being a firefighter and i want to learn as much as i can. this site is a great way for me to meet new people who have more experience than me, and can teach me new things. (our junior program isn't set up very well, so i have ended up learning most skills by reading my FF1 book. that doesn't help me much though since i don't have the skill sheets to go along with it.)

    Explain to me what the coaster bus is for. I figure it's for the transporting of crews. By the way my sister lives in Australia, can't keep up where she is.
    Was in Melborne then moved to the outbacks, then heard she's driving for a mining company. She's doing the life of a free spirited women.

    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....

    Hey from Tennessee! I saw youve got hazmat training - and wanted to invite you to SpillEaters.com which is a site i started for HazMat people to share ideas, training info. etc. Would be interesting also to compare how we train here in the US and how Australian training is - stop by SpillEaters.com if you get the chance-
    Stay safe!
