    Hi Amanda -

    I met your Dad at the Collapse Firefighter Benefit in Friendship. I wrote a blog about Tom Torpey and the team, titled: "That's Why."

    Thanks for serving our country and keeping us safe. Keep up the great work. I'm sure your home town is proud of you.

    Stay safe. Train often.

    which part of belleville do you live in. the city is full time but there are unincorporated areas that are volunteer. do you live in the east end or the west end. that would tell me which dept to send you to.

    I believe that is Northwests district. this is there website youll have to copy and paste. ( http://nwfpd.tripod.com/ ) they train every monday about 7pm, but if you go to there engine house 2. like your going to target, turn left at fire house crossings strip mall i believe they have someone there monday through friday like 8am-4pm. my dept runs mutual aid with them all the time they a are a good group of guys, there only downfall is their fire trucks are white instead of red :) hey nobodys perfect. any way they will take care of you there. later and be safe.
