    Hi Mike, I’m a retired Fire Chief and understand the importance of health & fitness for our responders. I joined FF Nation to share my incredible wellness story with everyone. Fitness is only a part of the equation; internal wellness is the real essential for healthy responders. Many of us need to get healthier. If you’re interested in more information about this life changing program please send me an email at: John@IncidentMT.com
    Thanks, John

    Hey thanks dude...yeah when they roofed that building, they acutally built the flag into the roof, so its REALLY cool. Well not really...February is supposed to be our structure fire month, so thats our push right now. The wildland stuff shouldn't be for 2-3 more months. So what kinda fire fighting do you do?

    South Metro is where it's at :)

    How does Mpls feel about the new state law about being a licensed FF since you can't be licensed unless you are certified?
