Welcome to the Nation and I hope you get as much out of the interaction here as I have had. It's a great resource. While you are online, I'd also suggest checking out my blog, Firehouse Zen, over on the FireEMSBlogs network.

FHZ is a little different than the rest, as our discussion is supposed to remain civil and cerebral. As we say, "It's brain food for Mongo". So come on by and check it out and if you are on Facebook, you can "like" our page over there as well. Stay safe-

Hey Kara-Lee I read your comments on Volunteers about your FD doing public awareness stuff. Our department is considering doing the same type of thing...what kinds of things is your department doing to promote itself and awareness?

yes, I do agree with you about some females, but I am a Fire Instructor and there are some females I would rather go into a fire then some of the males I have come across, not all but there are those that think they know all there is and you tell them something and they look at you as if to say yea right I'll do it your way for noe but you know they are gong to do it there way or freelance and maybe well any way you know the rest of the story. Email me anytime you need to talk to some one or just to chi-chat.

Things are good in Sask. A special care is a job where you look after residents/ patients in a personal care home or a hospital.
