    Jason, 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.

    Back at you. Your posts are well thought out and thought provoking... I'm assuming that's your goal here and you are doing it well. I'm all over the map on the FFN after doing this gig for over 30 years. It's fun to give back once and awhile...

    My passion is WMD hospital hazmat response and decon. I have been teaching this in the field nationally for a long time now and look forward to being able to focus on this endeavor once getting retired from the fire department and dealing with a couple of medical issues.

    TCSS my friend,

It's very refreshing to see individuals like yourself who put in a tremendous amount of time to ensure the safety of our fellow firefighters. Keep up the great work - It's appreciated by more than you know.
