Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I joined to continue my family tradition of firefighters. My dad retired from the city of reno fire department, with 25+ years. And my Uncle is still currently in the same department. My grandfather was a vol. way back in the day in Battle Mountain, NV. As my uncle nears retirement I decided that we should continue to support the fire service. so I joined the VFD in Swissvale,PA. Now i live in KS and have continued to volunteer at the local department.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Running In to a scene, when everyone else is running Out

About Me

I am a probie member at Swissvale 279. So now begins my journey through the academy for my modules and becoming a firefighter, and continuing my family's history of firefighters.

Scott Fire Fighter Combat Challenge

Posted on February 10, 2009 at 10:00am 6 Comments

Well I found out that this year as part of the annual Pittsburgh Fire Expo the Scott Fire fighter Combat Challenge will be on site for the expo Oct 2-3. I hope that it will be accessible to everyone and not just the people attending the expo. With that said I have decided that I will be attempting the toughest 2 minutes in sports. So starting next week I will be beginning a training regimen that I can work around my FFI class and normal life. And maybe I can get a group of guys from my station… Continue

Of course. The day we are doing practicals at the academy for hittin hydrants we are supposed to get heavy snow with 1 to 3 inches poss. Oh well train like you play. Not every fire scene is going to be ideal, I don't mind the snow It makes you more aware I think, But it will be fun watching some of the juniors in the class fumble and learn. I find it funny I am almost 30 and there are kids in my class that are not even able to drive yet. Don't get me wrong I'm not dissing the juniors They are… Continue

Its only snow WTF?

Posted on February 12, 2008 at 8:30am 8 Comments

OK here in the greater Pittsburgh area we got approx 3-4 inches of snow maybe more in some areas. My gripe is this. Why does such a small amount of snow shut down the schools, court houses, govt offices, large corp, and just about everything that is not related to selling things to the direct consumer. I woke my butt up at 0345 for a smoking wire call in a residence this morning and guess what there were already 3 inches of snow on the ground. What did i do? I cleaned my car off and went to the… Continue

Off the market (well i have been for a long time now)

Posted on December 27, 2007 at 8:27am 0 Comments

Well its official Im now married.

I got married just before Christmas. It's a good thing, my now wife and i have been through alot and it has been nothing but a good thing for us. WE were trying to have a big wedding but with trying to pay for the whole thing our selves it just is going to take so much longer than planned. So we just did something small and can take more time for the big show.
