    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.
    Greetings from Mexico.

  • SMOKEnPipesJim

    Hi Allen, I saw your comment about Genja's pictures the rig with the outrigger in the trunk is from FDNY, I am guessing when life safety is at risk, FDNY does what they have to do...This is only one of several Historically like this In NY..
  • Genja

    And it is possible to learn precisely where you work? In what staff?
  • Genja

  • Christian Cossey

    I am in the process of talking to someone and I have taken some time off. Honestly, the person I'm talking to isn't a part of the service, he's a private "doctor", and sometimes it seems like he just doesn't understand. Should I be talking to someone within the service because they have a better understanding of the situation and lifestyle?

    Hello Allen, thanks for the welcome, I visited Florida way back in the early 70's when I was in th navy. We had a great time. I went on a coach trip in the USA last summer with my family and again a good time was had by all. I am getting a little long in the tooth now but I still love getting onto the pump and going on a shout. We only get about 100 calls ayear but its enough to keep the heart ticking and the mind thinking. I have a good crew and I could not think of a better job. I am ofcourse only part time now but we still get paid for doing what we would do for free.

    Regards

    Phillip
