    Thanks! After becoming involved with hazardous materials regulations in my day job, I met many good people in the fire service and became a volunteer. What type of training do you do for your PD?

    You are a man of many hats!
    I do some HM First Responder Awareness and Operations training for both my day and volunteer jobs and I teach firearms at MSP.
    I hope you had a nice Christmas. Have a safe and happy new year.

    I am definitely a summer fan!! I am not much for cold weather.. snow is pretty... but not much fun since snow days aren't an option anymore.. LOL.. I am out in the suburbs of the DC area.. it's been chilly here, but just barely hitting the 30's.. not quite frost in the area yet.
