I just got some news about a niece of mine. A little girl whom I adore. She is having some medical problems right now, and I am so upset. One thing I never understood is why children suffer. Why God allows them to lay in a hospital bed in pain, while the rest of us are helpless to protect them from such things. This stems back from when Selena was a baby. All the countless times she was admitted to the hospital, IV's in her arms, feet, and even the top of her head once.…

A member of a local community might not realize the devastating aspect of a decrease in volunteerism until they have a personal emergency. Think of someone having to wait for an ambulance at home because either there are no volunteers to cover the call, or there is no funding available so the people in the community have to rely on paid, out of town…

I personally have on or in my turnouts: 3 door stops, pliars, cutters, rope, light, pass device, a piece of strap i use for 2in2 out rule really helps a ton unless it gets stuck on something, multi-tool, helmet light if i can find it.

Hello everyone,

Just a little bit about me, I love the outdoors, hunting, fishing and camping. I also love volunteering at my local fire company. I am engaged to a wonderful lady named Elizabeth, who is a EMT/FF in her local area. We are getting married next year and plan to stay close to where I live now, also volunteering for the fire company.

Take a minute and read this article. Quit dumbing down the fire service. Create a culture and a tradition of firefighters who are adept in the risk analysis of emergency response. Thinking firefighters, saving our neighbors, and coming home--that is our tradition.…

Our fire department maybe volunteer, but we cover more miles than most in our state around 300 because of all the farm land. We run fire protection also for a town 20 miles away. Our airpacks are not the fiberglass nice light ones oh heavens no. so far after my last time on here we have done 65 more calls 12 house fires a ton of wrecks and medicals. Im trying to prove to the higher ups that lighter bottles even if we bought 4 would help out tremendous, but according to the chief we have to…
