About Me:

Ok about me, well im 43 and I'm on a v.f.d. been with them for 12 years this year. i love to fight fire, we have 5 stations on the east side of our county. And 6 stations on the west side of our county, and 2 of the bigger towns have a emergency response teams, with vol. EMT's as well for the bigger towns. Our dept. which is just fire is the best department around, we think so. But i have always love to fight fire, even before i was s fire fighter i would go follow the trucks around to see what the do. So i gave it a shot, and here i am 12 yrs. later, i got a position in the department as the party chairman, got to feed those guys on a good training night. Then became a asst. training officer for our department and built some awesome training props. i think are top knotch. So that's my story and im sticking to it!

Cant get all the guys to show up when we get paged to a fire. So we have put a program together to try to getting people back into wanting to come to fires again. It's been slowl, but the numbers are picking up.
