    Welcome to Firefighter Nation- I think you'll find it a great place to network and catch up with what's going on in the industry. While you're online, feel free to stop on by my blog, Firehouse Zen, especially if you are interested in discussion on change and leadership in fire and EMS.

    Hope to hear from you-
