Sarah,

I'm still buried in work, but it pays the rent.
Hunkering down for the bad weather this afternoon and finally getting a weekend off.

I'll check out the pix from the Salka-Lasky weekend.

Have a great weekend.

Looking at your photos I think I've been by your station before, but I don't remember you being there( I would have remember that). All right Good luck again on the accreditation and Be Safe.

Hey!

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 comment
