About Me:
I have spent 28 years with the Chicago Fire Dept. the first 17 on an als ambulance. Also as a FF/PM I was assigned to one of the first als engine companies in the CFD. I am a Lt/PM on Truck 45 in the Mt. Greenwood neighborhood. I hunt, fish, play the mandolin (bluegrass and Irish sessions) and ride my Harley with my brothers from the Illinois Axemen. I have a daughter who is married to a Chicago cop (who would like to be a Chicago fireman) and 2 sons who are US Marines, one a Sgt. and the other a Lcpl . Both are in the 1/10 (arty). Sgt.Pat has 2 tours in Iraq and a purple heart and is doing 4 more for the Corps. Brian is thinking about re enlisting. We shall see.

Why I Love Fire/EMS
Everyday is different

Hey Steve
I am from Indiana I was a firefighter in Gary assigned to squad 2 for 6 years before i took a transfer to a much smaller city Elkhart IN. I saw you have a group called the axeman I was wondering if you had any info pertaining to the organization or if you were taking new members? I am always looking to meet brothers from other cities I hope i can get some info from you. Thank you for your time Chris Overpeck
