    Troy, welcome to the FF Nation. I am glad you dropped in to join the group. Dont be shy. There is lots to do, read and be involved with. Your participation and involvement is important to us all. Takes a bit to kinda figure it all out but you will be glad you did. Have fun and look around.

    Thanks,

    I'm planning to sign up for FFII this fall. I no I should have taken it right after FFI but Kim was complaining. I'm sure FFII will be as chalenging and educational as FFI. We have a busy spring thus far with our regular work load of calls and then to through in grass fires. The township needs to start charging for grass fires that are intentionally set. Thanks, Dan
