    Hey Kris, I'm a retired Fire Chief and understand the importance of wellness for our responders. Now, I represent a 200 + million $ nutritional wellness company and I'm always looking for Firefighters interested in an additional source of income. This is also about saving lives and helping other people. If you'd like additional information please send me an email at wellness2390@aol.com
    Thanks, John

    Welcome to the family where the language and reasoning importate the
    border is not in our work is to save lives regardless of color, religion or social position, much less. The important thing in our work does not need language to communicate, or borders to help.

    we are having them also. had two last week. one was a four department fire with DNR called to respond also. We didnt get the snow in march that we normally get, so things are really, really dry. There has been about 2 grass fires a day in the last 2.5 weeks within 20 miles of Spring Grove... Other than those, been real slow...
