No I'm a volunteer but am working without a work contract in the IT/marketing business. I can't comment about my gear but...

Hey Denise, I take it from your post that you are a paid firefighter without a contract? I am a volunteer, and we even have to pay for our own gear repair unless it is more than $50 !! I am glad you think you have what it takes for 'The Job'; until I had a few years experience, and the experienced members and officers constantly helped us and taught us. Hope things continue well for you. By the way, Brian, peeing on a spark plug MAY get you more than work !! Stay safe, brothers and sisters.

Hi Denise. So glad to see you are doing well. I have been out of the loop so to speak, therefore not really knowing what it is you have been doing without a contract. My thoughts are simple.. a contract is great, but a job is better. Truthfully, I would pee on a sparkplug if I thought it would help me get back to work.. any work.. with or without a contract. You have it pretty good.. well it could always be worse right? lol I am reading this on Mother's day, and therefore wishing you especially a very happy Mother's Day.
