    well i don't know about your friend being stupid or anything. Of course I think being an IAFF local is definetly better. They absolutely are the best Union for firefighters. If you have any other questions about the federal fire service please feel free to ask as I am a federal fire fighter.

    Dustin, congratulations on gettting hired with Raton. It's definately a good place to get a foot in the door. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you but I don't get on this site much, as you've already probably figured out I don't work there anymore, I've since March been working out here in Flagstaff, AZ. Well anyways, take care, be safe and good luck.
