    Hi Kevin, thanx for the comment. You got it spot on, the 2010 has lit a fire here. Every fire service is trying their best to upgrade and prepare for the soccer. Some with better results than others, but at least they are moving forward. I will be leaving the Mother City in May to join a nother service in the South Cape, George. Offered a nice promotion so can't say no. But will stay in the game though.
