Ray - we just wanted to do something to communicate to the firefighters that you guys are always welcomed here, that we're praying for you, and that this church isn't inwardly focused anymore. I appreciate all you do for our community, and am looking forward to working with you guys to make this a better, safer place to live. I will probably be hitting you up for some advice on the whole Assoc. President thing...

From my understanding, the FFA's primary purpose is to support the firemen and the betterment of them, right? I have been told about the special projects in the community, etc. This really sounds like it fits what I have been wanting to do on the department and in this community already...we'll talk soon.

it is awesome, and if you take a look at a map of new jersey, we cover from the west side of the peninsula at fotescue to the east at atlantic city. the coastguard gave up their firefighting boat in th 80's so we have the honor of helping the marine vessels in the delaware bay and a portion of the atlantic
