My Training:: Went through them all. FFI, FFII, Even when they had FF III, D/O Engine & Aerial, FO I, NIMS, IC, Haz-Mat Specialist and Asst. Team Leader. yadda, yadda, yadda. We're a small Dept. so everyone has to do just about everything. I still get to clean the toilets and take out the garbage in the morning. It's so glamorous being a Captain!

About Me:: BS from University of Cincinnati, Paramedic since 1985 from Northeast Wisconsin Technical College. Taught at NWTC for 20 years. Regional Haz-Mat Team for 10 years. Tech Rescue Team. Member of IAFF L1998. Couple of terms as President.

Why I Joined Fire/EMS: While in college(1977), became dissatisfied with what I was pursuing and wanted to do something that could have an immediate impact on people. Liked it from the beginning and the rest is history.

Why I Love Fire/EMS: being able to make a positive impact when people are having their worst day.

Top Issues Facing Responders:: Lack of funding from Fed., State and Local Gov.

So, to answer your question, yes the tractor has fought brush fires when my burn piles get away from me on windy days. I swear they did not need the third alarm, that was overkill. lol
