    Jenelle,

    Thank you for welcoming me. I have been in the fire service since June 1976 and it's been a great adventure. I also just retired after 21+ years as a police officer. I think having the opportunity of being in both emergency services gave me a front row seat to experience the greatest show on earth !!! I would advise you to take as much training as you can. Also, you are never too old to learn. After 32 years, I still take training classes. Best of luck in your endeavors and stay safe.

  • Joshua

    wow good aspirations, how do you like being in the fire service?
  • Joshua

    well i've been doing the ems side for two years, and i love that, but the fire fighting side is great too. and its great because most of the fire fighting stuff involves ems a lot, not just fighting fires.
  • Joshua

    haha you're not being rude, i'm 19 about to turn 20.
  • Joshua

    lol yeah and i just got back from spring break, which i spent trying to an ambulance for my school rescue squad, so i was a bit busy.
  • Chuck Gunter

  • Don Vuletic

    Jennel,
    saw your post and from rookie to senior firefighter we all make mistakes, some big some small. We are not perfect and with the changes in the fire service in more 30 plus years I do make mistakes. You will stumble and learn, but more respect will come when you admit it and correct it. I love teaching rookies, thier fun, and in five, ten years thier officers (some of them). Dont ket anyone get you down with comments. Good Luck
  • Raymund Niere

    Hey there jen, it's nice you've started in quite an early age, but anyway, there's no young or old when it comes to helping others. Just alway's stay safe out there.
  • Tinkerbell

    Why Tinkerbell? At the start of our SAR training - I had this "idea." I've always had a Gremlin bell hanging off my Jeep. It's a "Harley thing," where you hang one from your bike to keep the "road devils" free and clear so they don't mess with your ride. I had ordered two more since mine fell off after a few years. But then I thought, "Why not give one to my partner?" Both for luck, and also for a bit of added "awareness" (constant "audible presence" and awareness so my partner and I could hear each other in the blackout situation). One of our instructors got a complete kick out of it (well, they ALL did), and said, "We have a coupled of TINKERBELLS." The "genius" idea being mine, I acquired a nickname - our whole Engine Company was "renamed" Engine Company Tinkerbell. One of them got cowbells we had to attach to our ropes. I was not put off one bit. I can take a joke... And I also thought, "We'll USE these!" After our consumption course training we had SAR and RIT. They split us up from our partners (the whole class at once) and in a blackout situation we had to find our partner and find our way out of the structure. Well, I stayed in one location and began hammering that cowbell. It was chaos with everybody yelling for their partner at the same time... Mine had only to hear/recognize/follow that cowbell. In less than a minute we evacuated - by far the fastest evac in the structure. "Thank you, Mr. Instructor!" lol The "joke" I was able to use to our advantage. But from that day on I had earned the name Tinkerbell. We always have had those bells on our helmets since then. My Conway has acquired several Tinkerbell stickers, and my Myspace page quickly got Tinkerbell pics attached to comments... And you know what? I'm comfortable with my "masculinity" and I dig every bit of it. I've come to realize that, in all actuality, Tinkerbell is pretty damn HOT. lol So along with the usual fire collectibles we decorate our houses with, I've collected a lot of "Tinkerbell gifts" from fellow firefighters. She's on my Jeep, on my placemat - and my next tattoo will feature her with a wand instead of a firehouse, sprinkling me with her protection. In a nutshell, that's my "gig" with Tinkerbell. I take all ribbing with a grain of salt, and always have used everything to my advantage, if possible. Now, I've a complete affection for that hot little Disney Fairy. I've received some VERY zesty looking Tinkerbell additions to my collection. She doesn't take away from my Man Card - if anything she makes me proud to be her associate. lol. And it wasn't rude to ask. A lot of people from different agencies do a double-take when they see this firefighter with Tinkerbell stickers on his helmet (I even had a small plastic Tink attached to the medallion on my leather helmet badge, which RIP'd in a burn). Many know the "story," and a few have even asked for some Tinkerbell stickers for THEIR helmet. I give the same one to all (a "protection Tinkerbell") and they dig it! It's by no means as sexy as MY assortment of Tink stickers, but it's a symbolism of us having done a good call together, or as a gesture of comraderie.

    Kinda long, but THAT'S the answer, Jenelle. It IS kinda weird for people who don't know the story and come to my place and see Tinkerbell crap everywhere! lol... I'm sure they might think, "This guy has a different sort of fetish" until they hear the story. I think it's awesome the way people earn a "nickname" or other sort of association. And I've gotta say, they chose the hottest possible "mascot" in what they initally thought was a joke. I'm indebted to 'em all. ;) One of our awesome vets, Mike Butler, gives people a reflective shamrock when they earn his trust/respect. I kinda do the same with my Tink stickers.

    I suppose that WASN'T such a "brief explanation," but is one even possible? lol Thanks for the welcome, and hope to see ya 'round.

  • adel

    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
