    Deanna, 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.

    unfortunately, i didn't spend too much time with Valley Forge's old Engine 68-5. they had just finished building our new pumper tanker and placed it into service a few weeks after i was voted in as a member. hopefully it treats ya'll well.

    IYAOYAS! not too many people know what that stands for. were you ever in the service?

    Howdy,
    Thanks for the welcome and i seen your deal about fill the boot and we take part in that here in our area it was actually great because in 2007 we beat our neighboring paid fire department the City of Longview by almost 2,000 dollars i love raising the money it goes for a great cause and plus its great for all of us at a volunteer department to come out and have some fun rasing money
