I like your style.
People who use the web for a crying towel deserve what they get.
You just can't rationalize with them.
You got cool pics, too.

Ouch, double ouch, and...well you get the idea. Yup, we suck this year, and probably for a little while. I am south of A2 by about 40 minutes, been to the "BIg House" lots of times, frickin' cool. We also have Michigan International Speedway in our county, so we get some cool stuff in our little neck of the woods. BTW, I'd like to see how your project turns out when you get done, keep in touch. GO BLUE!

It's great... I love all of the guys up at the station they are like my brothers ya know. It's fun and great that I can start early on what I want to do for the rest of my life ya know. Do you guys have a cadet program where you live?

Nov 9, 2008
Erin Rockey

Not really... I am what you would call an explorer. See I can't go on calls or stuff like that. I don't get payed I just go to training and holiday parties and live fire trainings. We also have extracation classes that I can participate in. It's really fun though.

Nov 10, 2008
Erin Rockey

ya it is. I love it. at first I thought I would stand out because there is only two girls. there is me and a volunteer fire fighter and I thought ya know the guys like wouldn't talk to us but really we talk to the guys more than we talk to each other. ha

Sarah,

Hilton Head is pretty good. Things are really busy - and that's prior to calls.
We are in the process of putting an entire fleet of new engines in service with all the training that goes with it. Our training center is being built, and Station 5's new station went to pre-bid today. We just updated our EMS protocols, and we have a hazmat tank truck emergencies class coming up in two weeks.

We just finished a Lieutenant promotional exam and assessment center, and we're testing firefighter candidates on Saturday.

We occasionally make time for a few calls, too.

Life is good.

How is St. Andrews?

Be careful out there.

Ben
