Things to do (from Billy Goldfeder)

Hey...

If there was a "list of things to do before we are done" for Firefighters, there could be a wide range of things that we oughta or want to do....and

will make a good story in the near future. But the one detail I very

seriously mention way more than anything else is for every Firefighter

to at least once...attend the National Fallen Firefighters Memorial

Weekend.…

Valerie's Thoughts.........

This is my first entry here on FirefighterNation.com. As you can see that on my profile i don't respond to my info about what rank, post, and so forth. Just to be honest i don't have nothing right now when it goes comes to experience.....I have taken the EMT class before but failed because my partner screwed me over on the practical final that was half of my grade. Now i have to take that class over. I've been thru the ambulance ride alongs before but it was only three ride… Continue

Ambulance & Hospital Internship experiences.......

In the ambulance were not as exciting as i though they would

be. The first ride along was with "Bower's" this company that works

for inter-facility transportation. It's not as exciting and interesting

but the good… Continue

Little girl firefighter(This will be my daughter in a few years)LOL

A fire fighter is working on the engine outside the station when he

notices a little girl next door in a little red wagon with little

ladders hanging off the sides and a garden hose tightly coiled in the

middle.

The girl is wearing a fire fighter's helmet.

The wagon is being pulled by her dog and her cat.

The fire fighter walked over to take a closer look.

"That sure is a nice fire truck," the fire fighter says with

admiration.

"Thanks,"… Continue

Help !! Lost

Have you seen this snorkel lately? If your company owns it or someone knows where it is now PLEASE contact me. In 2001 the Friendship Volunteer Fire Co. #1 Pennville, Hanover, PA. sold their 1989 Pierce Arrow 85 ft. snorkel. It had a 1250 GPM pump and no water tank. We sold it to Jon's Mid America Fire Apparatus of Rogersville, MO. I posted this on other websites and have not received any response…

9/19

Another relatively slow day comes to an end. Thought we were going to have "the big one" when tones went down for smoke coming from the roof of the local hardware supply store. Kind of a downscale lowes or home depot. On the way to the station i'm thinking "oh crap all lumber, paint, solvents, propane cylinders, etc etc. While enroute found out it was a "smokey" fork lift they were using. Got two medical calls for heat exhaustion before making it back to the station (sigh) Stay Safe…

Welcome to DaKine!

Aloha Kakou!

E komo mai, welcome, to the blogspot for a lowly, but experienced rookie on the Big Island of Hawaii! This is my return to the fire service after a multiple year hiatus. After losing the love of the job in Colorado, I have come here to Hawaii and joined a volunteer department. Let's just say that the issue was the drive to go career forcing out those of us that just want to run free. I volunteer, and I didn't have any real desire to go pro. I had a good job, a good family…

Standardization... You've got to be kidding me!!!!!!!!

Ok, I guess I'm about to get on a soap box here. Why not start off a new profile the right way and get fired up. I guess I'll start at the beginning. My wife pasted away last year and I decided now was a good time to move and start over in a new place. Great idea right? NOT if your a Fire Fighter. I have never in my life seen so many goof-ball requirements to be a Fire Fighter as I have seen in the past 4 weeks. Keep in mind, I have been a FF for over 20 years, I do have a "few" IFSAC/NFPA… Continue
