Hi Dewayne and Diana, I am very sorry to hear about DeWaynes father and I am sure he would be Very Proud of him and You for following in his footsteps it takes special people to want to do this job whether you are a Volunteer or a Career Paid Firefighter. Is it true you guys are getting snow and ice down there in Ky I thought I heard that on the news!! I have thirty years in as a active Volunteer and I have one gorgeous brilliant daughter and she goes to Penn State University Main Campus up at State College and she is Majoring in Architecture and she is doing fantastic and rally loves it. She called and said she had twenty students drop out of her class . She has a petite girl from China has her Dorm mate and the first time I went up to see Rachel my daughter and I walked into the dorm I laughed my head off her dorm looked like a tornado hit it. She said Dad I am sorry I just haven't had time to do more cleaning but I have everything organized under my bed. It was so funny and I thought to myself typical college life.lol lol lol Rachel loves to read and she is very brilliant but has a world of common sense and is very artistic and very muscially incline she plays the piano and loves it and she loves to draw by freehand. She graduated with honors in high school and was the number one or number two student in her high school. I fell 15-18 feet inside a home under construction and busted all of my ribs and several other things and was in the hospital in Pittsburgh for over a month and they took me by medic unit which was a twenty minute drive when I thought they would have flown me because of the injuries. So I have been off of work and hope to be better within three months . I thought all these years as a firefighter I never went through anything like this but such as life. My daughter is an under graduate and in her third or fourth year she will go to Rome to study and England to study Diana I am so proud of her she is the Air that I Breathe. Take care and Stay Safe. GO STEELERS!!! Your Friend Hughie The 57 House
Hi Diana,You know Diana each time I would watch the news and weather I kept looking to see what they would report about your area and I thought you had a terrible storm go through your state. Listen I will certainly keep you guys in my prayers and my thoughts. Thank God no one got hurt in the house fire . That is a terrible mess when one comes in because its bad enough us firefighters worry about the people in the home but than when you go to get off the engine its like oh boy here we go a sprained ankle or broken leg or cold hands and cold feet and there is nothing worse than that or to see the men and women carry out a little child or occupant from the home. My heart goes out to you but I will say a very special weather prayer for all of you. So the weather lets up and the situation gets alot better for all of you guys but please stay safe. I thought we were gonna get nailed with that bad storm but now they are calling for us to have a 50/50 chance of getting hit by it on Tuesday so we shall see but I will do what I have to especially for my parents because my father is an invalid and he was struck by a massive stroke and he is trapped in his body but I thank god that I still have him but if I have to I will walk through the storm to my parents to make sure they are ok because they live about five miles away from me. If you don't have any power for awhile than you can always get some Spam in a can to feed the firefighters so they have something to eat and won't have to worry about refrigeration and you can get Sterno in little cans and light one it makes a small flame to cook or to heat if it gets that bad. I hope all goes well and tell the men and women they are what the fire service is all about and what makes America so Great. God Bless You Always. Your Brother Firefighter Hughie The 57 House
Great lights and vehicles! You guys have great taste in brands of vehicles. I have a 03 Ram diesel and I absolutely love it. I live in Woodsfield, Oh and have been a volunteer fireman for 13 years. LOVE IT!
Nice to meet new people. I have an cuz that lives neer Lexington. How close is that to you guys? Thought about moving down that way sometime, but it will be a while. I have worked for O.D.O.T. for 15 years, kinda hard to leave now. Is there any heavy equip. oper. jobs down that way? Thanks for adding me as your friend!
Stopped by station to run a couple trucks with my son(Jaydon). He's down from Columbus, for the weekend. Looks like you guys do alot for your comm. also. I think that's great! Nice pics, but looks like someone had bad day with the engine, at the field fire. It happens to everyone, if you are doing your best. Maybe I should come down and give them driving lessons(ha ha)! Well gotta take the boy to see my parents. Stay safe!! Oh, thanks for thinking of our dept. through the tough times!!! Need anything just let us know.
Nice pictures, looks like everyone had a great day at the asthma camp. have been running a few calls, had a fund raiser for one of our fireman last week, the brother firefighter has cancer and not much time left in this world. continue to have our standard drills on tuesday but not much going on do to the ball games and graduations with the members of the department. Do to the wife and mine our work schedule does not give us much time to spend at the fire hall like we should be. be safe and God Bless.
Hey D&D so far so good. Hope all is well with yall! I couldn't do it without your all's support and leadership by stepping up to the plate with recommendations. THANK YOU!!!! I mean that to I am thankful fore each and every member we have right now and I hope to continue growing. Once I get the money and the morale where I want it we will focus on growing the dept and getting out in the community PR wise. CYALL
