About Me:
Proud to serve, glad to be able to make a difference. Been a fire service webmaster/IT Admin since 94, our dept was one of the first anywhere to go online "1994". (www.avfd.com) Love helping to teach, instill core values of community, and dedication to service.
To give back to my community! The volunteer fire service is the last bastion of the true volunteer spirit that founded our great nation, and I firmly believe that we have to keep that spriit alive.
My Dad was a Huge influence on my joining the Fire Service. As a young teen I watched him get together with members of their community to put together a volunteer department where there was none. The spirit of what they did has stuck with me throughout my life. As he grew within their department, made Chief, and served his community, my admiration of his focus lead me to my involvement. Hopefully one day I can put on a white hat and be half of the man that he was in that position.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The ability to make a difference in others lives and ask nothing in return but a bit of respect sometimes.
Top Issues Facing Responders:
1. Teaching Core Values of dedication to Community (we, we instead of me me)
2. Volunteer Retention.
3. Love of Country and dedication to service.

I came across your posts about turning SCBA bottles into lamps, and i was wondering if i could possibly get in contact with you about the process or even if you have a spare SCOTT scba bottle that i could possiby buy off of you?
I made my lamp, i went a little bit different route and it was actually easier than i thought. I used an old survive air bottle with a flat bottom. I just drilled down though the top and drilled a hole in the "back"of the bottle towards the bottom Thanks for the idea though. Hopefully i'll have a pic up on here of it sooner or later. thanks again
Hey how goes it, i found your profile while trying to find out how to make Scott bottles in to lamps. i have a survive air bottle which is the same pretty much as a scott bottle and i have an idea on how to make it but i was wondering if you could give me some ideas, thanks.
