About a week ago, I performed my first auto extrication. Last Friday night, we were called to an intersection where someone had pulled out in front of a sheriff deputy. Both drivers were injured, but the deputy was able to get out without having to be extricated. The person in the other vehicle, wasn't so lucky.

Our rescue truck came with a crew of three. We got the assignment of extrication. When we got on the scene, the driver raised the stadium lights, while the person in the…

Been busy with my documentary and working through the holidays in retail (so much fun!). Anyway, I just added a new slideshow to my page. Please take a moment to view it and let me know what you think!

Blog time again and I really have nothing to write about, it’s been a slow week at the house, oh one update on the truck from earlier,(you know the xmas week from hell). I narrowed down the issue and I had to go and buy a new computer for it, wow that hurt the wallet $245.00.

We have good news for our dept. We just received word that we are approved for 12 new sets of turnout gear for our dept. I know I am happy as the gear I have been in is from 1991 and showing it's age.

We have also sent out to a local company a request for grant money for some new pagers and radios. I have one of the oldest pagers, a Motorola Keynote. I can't complain too much as it still works better the the Minitors that we have.

On February 8th we are having a spaghetti…

First, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Christopher Smith, I am 31 years old, I have never been married, and I do not have any children. I was born and raised in Randolph County, a relatively low-populated county in northeast Arkansas. After graduating from Maynard High School (as valedictorian, I might add, haha) in 1994, I went to Arkansas State University in Jonesboro, AR, for one year as a music education major. Because I really wasn't sure that it was the path for me, and…

I would rather have one little rose From the garden of a friend Than to have the choicest flowers When my stay on earth must end. I would rather have one plesant word In kindness said to me Than flattery when my heart is still And life has ceased to be. I would rather have a loving smile From friends I know are true Then tears shed round my casket When this world I've bid adieu. Bring me all your flowers today Whether pink, or white, or red; I'd rather have one blossom now…
