The survey's participants chose firefighters because of their "ability to stare down danger, maintain top physical fitness and demonstrate compassion for others."
"One of the most refreshing aspects of our fun and informal survey is the high value consumers put on the job titles of firefighter's, nurse's, surgeon's and soldiers, where individual's… Continue

A man in Topeka , Kansas decided to write a book about Churches around the country. He started by flying to San Francisco and started working east from there.
Going to a very large church, he began taking photographs and making notes. He spotted a golden telephone on the vestibule wall and was intrigued with a sign, which read 'Calls: $10,000 a minute.'

My specialties include hazmat response, mass decon, fire prevention, wildland / urban interface firefighting, etc. I'm getting closer to retirement and am enjoying getting to know folks around the world, with the goal of someday doing some traveling to visit friends.
From your FFN site, it sounds like Irish music, which tells me that you might be Irish? I'm thinking Boston FD and all... My mothers side of the family came from County Cork and someday, I'm looking forward to visiting Ireland and seeing my roots. Eastern Fire Departments have such a warm tradition when it comes to ancestory and the fire service. All very cool.
If you have access to Google Earth, here's where I am located below. Take care and stay safe brother. Mike
