About Me:
I am currently taking a break from firefighting due to pregnancy! (yay) I am due April 23 and will try to be back active by mid June or whenever I feel capable of safely doing it again! I fought up until I was 4.5 months pregnant and realized it just wasn't worth the risk of myself, other firefighters and mostly my child!

However, not being able to fight fire is the toughest part of pregnancy for me.. I never had morning sickness or aches and pains~ I love it

Why I Joined Fire/EMS
Following in my Dad's footsteps. I have wanted to be a firefighter since I was 7 years old and just stuck with it until I was 18. Now I have six years in. Hard to believe all those years flew that quick!
Why I Love Fire/EMS
helping people.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
Small department funding support, local community support.

The tournament is June 28th.

The accident was a let down no doubt. I didn't make the call. Glad now that I didn't. Knew both victims. The people who made it seem to be doing alright.

So when is the big day? Must be close if your having the parties already.

Like yourself I haven't had much time to be on here lately. When the weather is nice I try to be outside as much as possible. Well we shall talk to you later, have a good one, bye bye.

Thats good. Hope I'm never on a fatal fire. Our 1st responder calls have picked back up in the last few days, hope they slow down again. We've had 10-15 fires and maybe 30-40 responder calls this year. Well I'll let you go, stay safe, bye.

In Florida, that must have been nice. No not a lot has been happening. Even our responder calls have been slow, knock on wood. Were up to 16 sled PI's now. God I hope were done with them until next winter. Were you involved with the fire death down there a week or more ago. Nice to here from you again. Keep in touch, later, bye bye.

I bet your still riding an adrenaline rush. To bad you had to know the guy, that always makes it rough. Glad to hear it was a gas leak instead of a drug lab. I'm suprised he lived through the blast.

Hope your proud of yourself for getting him out of there. Give yourself a pat on the back for me. TV6 got a video on your fire today on there web sight, take a look. Should download it and put it on here.

Have a good weekend, keep in touch. Bye bye.
