Sure, my family grew up on the NW side around Milwaukee and Pulaski (Polish). I'll be visiting my buddies in Raleigh at the end of January when the Blackhawks are in town.. I know the weather will be much more tolerable by you!

Response to how I ended up in Oz...The wife (from Potomac) came here to pursue a Phd, I thought I'd come over to keep an eye on her. Now we don't want to leave! Wonderful country. Great food, beaches, beer. The landscape is beautiful exept for the bits that are poisonouse, trying to eat you, full of venom, or on fire.

I'm sorry to have mislead you with my profile DUST, it has been changed. I'm no longer an ARFF, I work for the regular municipal fire & rescue service. Though for some time I worked as an ARFF!

Thank you for the compliment on the video...I just count myself lucky to have such a cool job. :-) Love the pic of the back of the engine "If you're reading this, you must be second due" That's fabulous! Is there a specific company that made it? It might be a great way to do public education announcements too (not that I have any budget, but just the same) Have a great day!

Coping with my impending retirement from the Fire Service. Depressing. Took a step away from FFN for a while. Nothing personal. Thanks for noticing I wasn't around.
Stay safe!
