    Hey Frederik, Cape Town is a great city. I always feel torn between Colorado and Cape Town. I am sure that will never change. Both great. How are things with CT Fire and Rescue. Are you all beefing up for 2010. I would love to get back in a fire dept structure again.

    Hey Frederik thanks for the message, USAR training is coming along slowly, we have to pay for it ourselves and find our own training school because our training division is a disaster !! But its all good hopefully by the end of the year we will be half way. I noticed on your list that you are USART qualified, did you do your training in cape town, would you guys take students from up here, it is quite far but i am so determined to get this qualification. Anyways Stay safe and chat soon
