So having been in the fire service since the mid 80's, I have always envied the IAFF guys and their window decals, hell they have about 30 of them now. Irish, diamond plate...you name it, and they all look good...even the god awful gold ones.

OK so they are get out of jail free cards...right. How many times have you been stopped with one on your window and gotten out of the ticket??? So since my department is atached to an AFL/CIO Union I cant jump ship, no matter how many times we have tried..it just isnt done without major issues involved. So that means this horrid AFGE sticker that looks like shite!
That left me with one recourse and that was to design a Department sticker, and since the DoD fire service has one patch now, I did one that was a little more interesting...ok so it was to me. And the Chief is leaning towards a new door decal for the trucks so Im not the only one...

Anyway, take a look...

OK so I finally figured out how to convert a photo from Illustrator to this site...

Thought so.
I been complaining to the "boss" that I would like to get Adobe Professional, but the Swede in her is putting up a pretty good fight.
I will go to the body and wear her down.
jab, jab, duck.

Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop are a great place to start Art. Ok so they are a bit pricey...but great programs.

In an unrelated story, around here, the drunks get these "Say No To Drunk Driving" stickers and put them on their cars. Any guess as to why?
A cop friend busted a guy that blew a .23, had one of these stickers on his back window. Darren tore it off of the car and told the guy, "nice try".

We shall see how well the non IAFF ones work with the city cops. Corpus Christi has their own...so it should be a plus to have ours.

I've got 2 scotchlight Fire dept. stickers and blue lights on the roof,,,, they weren't what got me out of the ticket! it was the fact that the police officer in the next township over heard my plate being run and stopped by to chat (he's a member of our vol. company)
