I've been chasing fires with my grandfather since I was two. When he died, I had a great emptyness. My uncle became a fireman, then a chief. Being a fireman is the only thing I ever wanted, and I feel honored that this life has chosen me. The brotherhood, while not what the old volunteers had, is still strong today. It needs some infusion of life, but its still strong. We on black shift have this life, and we have each others back. I LOVE THIS JOB, and my brothers. Be safe, ALL IN ALL OUT

Well put everyone. The way I see it is we control our own destiny. We can do whatever we want, if the rest of them dont want to be part of it, oh well. We have to take care of our own. Let's start a movement, and get it done. ALL IN... ALL OUT... BLACK SHIFT BABY! Stay safe my brothers.

Brother, you said it. I respect the hell out of you and I am proud to have the chance to talk with you and be friends. I grew up in the firehouse with my father, hell he used to change my diapers on the pool table in the day room, on the back step of the engine, on the housemans desk!!! Yes, I used to love going to the firehouse and listening to the guys talk to my father, the comraderie, the friendship, the "Brotherhood". That hardly exists anymore sadly, today its clicks, and popularity contests. But Im with you brother, let not the brotherhood die! Give me a shout if you ever need anything, and that goes for all who read this as well.
Brothers

Firefighting is in my DNA I have been in the fire service for almost 38 years. Although I have had Cancer for the last few years. I still participate as much as I can. I am up for re-election as Vice President of our Vollie Division. I am very active with the South Florida, Palm Beach County, and International FOOLS. I am also active with IAFF Local 2928. It is my wish to teach as many new firefighters what the Tradition, Comraderie, and Brotherhood really means. These days it's all about the clicks, popularity contest, and let's hang out and get loaded. I'm sorry to say that I have to pick and choose who I would want to back me up when it really matters. The Fire Service is still supposed to be a BROTHERHOOD, let's not EVER forget that. FTM's, PTB, EGH, RFB. Be safe & all in/ all out. Sonny
