Offically fire chief
After finally graduating college and running the fire department as assistant chief for the past year, the fire department and board of fire commissioners made it offical last night. All the headaches are now mine offically and members will get mad, but such is life, you can't please every one all of the time, you can only please some of the people some of the time. Even though I look forward to the challenges, I also look forward to the many new things that some of the members would like to train on and that I am getting those things set up in place to do so, more trainging, training with neighboring departments. Although I am tough on myself, and I beat myself up more than anyone else, I am willing to do the best job possible and make things better for the department. eventually the Cuddebackville Fire Department will be a talked about department for turning things around, in a good way, by getting members to refill the ranks and have the brotherhood put back in the ranks of the fire department.

Congrats, Good Luck. Keep in mind that the "Boss" isn't always the popular one...and quite frankly shouldn't be.

Headaches are small time. You will be having migraines. It's true some members will be mad, but they will get over it, have ulcers because of every decision you make or move on to be someone elses problem. Good luck brother.
