Hello all!!

Sorry I haven't responded to anyone. I have been "out of the game" for a few days with some minor surgery. All is good now. I am in Myrtle Beach relaxing for 2 days. Hope ya'll have a safe weekend!!

Does anyone out there have used fire helmets, that still have some life on them for sale?

I need two one in yellow, the other one in black or red.

If you do give me a shout: jlswans79@gmail.com

Thanks!

Joel

Semi vs car

I was acting EMS chief and first on scene at a reported multivehicle with entrapment. I did the typical "are you OK" to the truck driver and continued on to the car. I got a pulse called in and command was established by another Asst Chief. We set up and worked like hell for 10 minutes. ALS called it. It was like every bit of adrenaline immediately left me and I was beat. After beating the reaper twce that day it…

For some of us, it seems like yesterday that we were just starting out on the fire department. For some it might have been just yesterday that we've started out on the fire department. Some of us started out as cadets or explorers, while others came on as probee firefighters. Everything was new, unfamiliar, and, at times, rather frightening.
