I am sorry that was as well. The fire service is great. I really enjoy being a Firefighter and an EMT. Hope everything is going well Werth you as well. (:
Thanks Jerry! NC has made some changes to our certifications. Before there was a firefighter 1 and a firefighter 2. Now they have done away with them and it will be one title. So now I am required to have all the 1 and 2 classes completed by 01/2015. Having a full time job being a volunteer FF, don't know if I will be able to complete all of them in one year. Wish me luck!

Good Morning Jerry. It's actually Commissioner. Recruitment seems to be the "Monster" of all departments. I live in a rural community now, but in the past I've been a member of departments that had 250-275 members. It always seemed as if there was an influx of younger guys/girls looking for some excitement. It's a tough nut. I'll need a little time to get back to you.
