Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Two reasons:
1) our local fire department and ambulance crew showed up to help my family and my neighbors a few times when we needed it
2) they recruited my wife first and after "hanging around" the department for a few years I found that it was a lot of really good people and I decided to join myself.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
It's more fun putting out real fires than "fires" at work.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Incompatible communications frequencies.

    Tom 95%of the photos are from three friends that have blog sites, We all shoot for our selfs but now have a outlet to share with evevyone else. The other 5% are from some friends. If you like what you see check out the link on my page, and then you will find about ten links to the area that we cover. Some of the photos have been published in Firehouse, 1st Responder (New England) and the New London Day paper.

    Tom as you may know, Place your name or company name on them. Watermarked or in color and shrink them down. This will slow down the reproduction of them and keep at least one web site from using shots that may of unsafe acts. Or if your web site locks them that will be the best way. Good luck. Rob

    Nice to hear. I'm new to Foothills. It hasn't even been a month yet! I was a firefighter back east with a pretty busy company. I was in Antarctica back in '00-'01. I only new 1 or 2 of the pilots down there, one was with the Coast Guard. If he was with the Navy then it was probaby back when the Navy was in control of the project. Operation Deep Freeze I think thats what it was called. Anyway, we'll see ya on the big one! Stay safe brother!
