I've found the people here are very nice and have found the discussions fun, interesting and some informative ... Some members sound like firefighters but some don't ...

It's also a great way to see how other parts of the USA and other countries perform firefighting operations ... Looking at the different pics of apparatus's from all over the world is kinda cool too ...

Soon you will get a message from a gentleman named LEO CARTWRIGHT from VICTORIA AUSTRALIA ... He's looking to trade patches with you. "DO NOT SEND HIM ANYTHING" ,,,, He uses the excuse, he can't get "NEW MAIL" as a way to avoid answering your e-mails after you send him stuff then don't hear back from him...

He sends a message to all "New Members" asking to trade but doesn't follow threw on his end of the bargain ... He's stiffed a lot of people on this site including me so I'm making it my mission to let every new member know so you don't get taken like so many of us already have ...
Be safe, god bless and enjoy the site,
Lucky
