Look my names Tracy King, 18, and I Volunteer at Benhaven Fire dept. The people there are cool as Hell. Well a little about me is I love going to fire calls and fighting fire its the best, but when Im not fighting fire im either hanging out with my friends and working on my truck. I love going to the lake and neebording, wakebording, and tubeing, its all fun to me. Well if you want to know more about me write me and ill tell you anything you want to know!!! For Now…

I don't know how supersticious everyone is, but I have a few core things that I think incur bad luck. This may be silly to some, but, heck the sailors won't mention the word 'drown' on boats. I'm not the only one out there. Anyway, here is my short list of what not to do/say when on duty at the old fire station.

1) Never say: Quiet, sleep, bed, or bathroom (this always results in a call at a bad time)

2) Never tell the off going shift 'Oh, we didn't run ANY calls, so you can…

When I am called to duty, God,

Whenever flames may rage;

Give me strength to save some life,

Whatever be its age.

Help me embrace a little child

Before it is too…

WHEN BRAVE MEN CRY

Into the bowels of Hell,these brave ones go

To save the lives of those they do not know

Guided by training & Camaraderie while overcoming fear

They dare to go with only Guardian Angels near

Through the smoke and heat…

Scenario....truck tried to beat train over tracks. Train hits truck. Truck loses big time! "nuff said

Fire tears through the Bruce Trail, the public footpath that spans the protected Niagara Escarpment, on Sept. 3, 2007.

Kilometre-long fire threatens protected Bruce Trail

Anyone who has ever had to do a research paper for the Executive Fire Officer program knows the feeling (or any paper with a strict time limit, for that matter). You EFOites know the drill: Month 1- leave class with all intentions of saving the world; Month 2- finished lit review, all is well!; Month 3- stuff came up at work, need to get the budget finished, I've got some time left...Month 4- more stuff, I can get this done in a few days; Month 5- okay, I need to buckle down. Then, several…

I WISH YOU COULD



I wish you could see the sadness of a businessman as his livelihood goes up in flames, or that of a family returning home only to find their house and belongings destroyed.



I wish you could know what it is like to search a burning bedroom for trapped children, flames rolling above your head, the floor sagging under your weight as the kitchen beneath you burns.



I wish you could comprehend a wife's horror at 3 a.m. as I check her…
