Hey Kimberly- I just joined the website and saw the back page about favorite firefighter books. I live in Malibu, spent 3 years with LACoFD and CalFire preparing a novel about a boy who comes of age as a wildland firefighter at a helitak camp (Camp 8 LA County). The book has been well received and Fire Chief P. Michael Freeman of the LACoFD liked it enough to send it to the County Board of Supervisors.
Perhaps you would enjoy reading it. The title is One Foot In the Black. You can buy it on Amazon or, if you buy it from the online store of the Wildland Firefighter Foundation, they get the profits. http://wffoundation.org/webstore/index.html.
You can see reviews from firefighters on my website

Let me know what you think of it.
Thanks, stay safe – Kurt Kamm

Good Morning Kim!
All is fine with me. I went to the Academy last week to update my Haz-Mat Tech training from the 24 hour class to the 40 hour one they just came out with. MUCH better class and I enjoyed it. 3 of us from our county team went out, and 2 of us were the top two students!! I got a 100% and my buddy got 98% so I was the Valedictorian and he was Saluditorian (spelling!) It was a great honor for us and we had a great time.
Hope your carnival and parade go great, have a great week!

I just got back from Lake George, I'm a sunburned/windblown mess...and have about half an hour to make a transformation into a semi-attractive human being.
Yikes.
I'll shoot you an email tomorrow w/ the details...gotta jet

I can relate totally, we primarily deal with k-3 rd grade the older kids or just outside our district. but we have the same issues, seems like the parents don't want to get involved. I'll look at you post and get back to ya. I have a few ideas.
Hi Kimberly,
Guess you've probably seen me on FASNY's page, she's a great friend.....I see your a big Fire Prevntion Buff like me,I'd love to swap ideas on how you execute your fire prevention kick,I'm always looking for new ideas.
Be Safe.
hey girl, whats up? I'm on food patrol....Bri can't eat or drink after midnight..... surgery Thursday 8:30AM I'll be on more in the next 2 days..took them off for Bri.
I'm ok... just trying to get some outside stuff done while the sun is out. My daughter goes in Thursday to have 5, yes 5 wisdom teeth removed. She can't swallow pill's so this should be a hoot! I'll catch up with ya later. I have taken Thursday and Friday off to be at home with her.
