TSA

Posted on November 21, 2010 at 11:10am 0 Comments

Whats up with everyone complaining about TSA?


TSA gave me a pat down, they will give you a pat down if and when you fly so why fuss about it?


TSA has been giving pat downs for a while and its just now people have an uproar about it. People should be happy TSA cares about our security.


I find it fun when I am flying, I sit back and watch TSA screen people and spend the time laughing. You get to see so many uncomfortable…

Bunker Gear from E-Bay... is it reliable?

Posted on November 18, 2010 at 9:08am 5 Comments

Something is better than nothing right? Hmm, I keep telling myself that. I bought some bunker gear from E-Bay and will donate it to a brigade in the Philippines. I am hoping that it is reliable. I don't buy from E-Bay often and I have never bought firefighting items from E-Bay. I guess I will find out. Since I have not really been getting donations and I have been spending my own money to get gear. I decided maybe E-Bay is the best option. I am just hoping I am sent something that I could… Continue

Finally got some donations

Posted on November 17, 2010 at 1:18pm 0 Comments

After over 3 years of asking for donations, I have stopped asking. I just save money and buy equipment. When I lef the Philippines I donated what little I had to people who had less. Now, I do not have anything. Literally, I have absolutely nothing. I went to a local fire supply store today to buy a pair of boots so I can start to get more gear for when I go back to the Philippines and the store said they would donate some items. They gave me a massive discount on boots and then they donated 2… Continue

Lack of PPE

Posted on November 9, 2010 at 7:23pm 5 Comments

Firefighting in the Philippines is tough and dangerous, these are the heros of the Philippines. Notice the lack of PPE. Some have just a locally made jacket, some have no boots, no-one has gloves, some don't have anything to protect them from heat. SCBA's are not present. This is the life of a volunteer firefighter in the Philippines. Its hard work that gets not enough credit and all of these guys are volunteers. No one is paid, not one of them has undergone…

Firefighters:



Guys, there are firefighters that were affected by the tropical storm and Typhoon that hit the Philippines a week ago. The last typhoon that hit us decided to stop and come back. It is now a tropical storm almost stationary and it is causing more and more rains in an already flooded area.





Disasters:



Disasters are bad and here in the Philippines we are getting pounded with rain everyday making the… Continue

jason, thanks for the add ,,,, i can tell and see by your pics that your in this for the good it does and not the glory ,,, sandels, tee-shirts and buckets if that's what it takes ,,,, i would be honored to wear one of your shirts but would feel bad taking it ,,,, it sounds like your still fighting to get every thing you can, so save the postage and cost of the tee and put that money to good use down there ,,,, give it to a new guy or kid that looks up to you ,,,,

keep doing the great job your doing and know that it does make a difference in people's lives ,,,, if you'd like to keep in touch, please do ,,, but like i tell everyone that adds me, your bad now because your gonna have to write once in awhile to help me remember who you are ,,, but your story and profile is so unique, it's gonna be hard to forget you and the work your doing ,,,, you are living the reason we all embark on this career and that's to make a difference ,,,, (and to drive big red trucks lmao ,,,, ) good luck, be careful and stay safe brother ,,,, and thanks again for the offer, i mean that ,,,, train hard but love life harder ,,,,
