Hello,
I noticed that it says you are a career firefighter. I was hoping to get some advice from you about getting hired and the challenges you've met and overcome. I have volunteered for 3 years and seriously want to go pro. I'll take anything you can tell me about your story. Thanks for the help.

To all my good friends. Thank you so much for all your patients during this past year. All of you are such great friends and I am so proud to be your friend. To those who trade with me patches thank you again. You really made me feel good and I will walk the extra mile for you. I do hope that all of you will have only the best of times with your family and friends. Merry Christmas to you all and GOD bless you all. Warm greetings from adel in Africa algerie

My name is Adel and I am trying to figure out what products are best for female firefighters. I have worked as a firefighter for only three years so I am just getting started. Currently I am a student at Eastern algerinne University in in the Fire & Safety Engineering Technology Program. Although I have only been a firefighter for three years I have had my fair share of small gloves that were still too big and pants that went up to my belly button! I was wondering if you could take the time out of your busy schedule to share some of your favorite/best fitting/most functional products for female firefighters. Weather it’s an awesome fitting pair of pants, A polo shirt that has sleeves that do not go down to your elbows, a pair of great gloves, or boots that have an awesome fit. It would be greatly appreciated if you could share your opinions with me. Thank you very much. Please feel free to e-mail me back at adel_pomper@hotmail.com or leave me a comment
