Hello and let em start by saying I hope I never see you whil on vacation in CO. Unless it is at a resturant. Around here we usually do not call you in unless it is REAL bad. We can make about any ground transfer as quick to our local hospital as it takes LF to get here. ANyway love your doggies and would never ever think about calling you bouncy butt. LOL

Hi Karen, Always admired you guys in the sky. A crew flew my son once to Pittsburgh. Greatest people I ever met, They visited him a couple days later. I'm glad you guys are out there, but I hope I never need a ride. Keep up the good work and Always Come Home.

Actually I wish you were closer in distance. Sounds like you take great pride in your job. Would be honored to set up an LZ for you. ANd maybe even have you teach me some medic stuff. Our dept is really bad about training FF's on medical stuff. Guess they think we are incompentent to do it or something.

welcome to the Nation. I am glad you dropped in to join the group. Dont be shy just jump in anywhere and get your feet wet. There is lots to do, read and be involved with. Your participation and involvement is important to us all. Takes a bit to kinda figure it all out but you will be glad you did. Have fun and look around.
Did you know a Guy who just retired there by the name of Jerry Delissle (Diesel)? He retired there last summer. Good friend of mine.

My name is Adel and I am trying to figure out what products are best for female firefighters. I have worked as a firefighter for only three years so I am just getting started. Currently I am a student at Eastern algerinne University in in the Fire & Safety Engineering Technology Program. Although I have only been a firefighter for three years I have had my fair share of small gloves that were still too big and pants that went up to my belly button! I was wondering if you could take the time out of your busy schedule to share some of your favorite/best fitting/most functional products for female firefighters. Weather it’s an awesome fitting pair of pants, A polo shirt that has sleeves that do not go down to your elbows, a pair of great gloves, or boots that have an awesome fit. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your opinions with me. Thank you very much. Please feel free to e-mail me back at adel_pomper@hotmail.com or leave me a commentDelete Comment v
