Thats good. OVFA is a blast. I've gone to 4. I was at the last 2, Coos Bay and Keizer. This year since its so close we won't have to stay over night. If we want to go we have to pay our selves. You should encourage them to go its a great learning tool and its fun to hang with people from all over. have a good week!
That playground drill is so great!! We have similar structures at the daycare where I work. I wonder if I could get our local fire department to come on over and do a little something like that. Lol
Hello, It's been a long time since Ione, They are good guys. It's been awhile since living in Oregon, but my husband wanted to move up here. I like it. But we have had a lot of fires, none yet this year, but you never know. Thanks for the comment. Have a great day.
Hi, yea i hope so. I am taking my EMT soon, so i will more than likely be running more calls. I cant wait! Oh, and 18 years? Thats not bad, you're only as young as you feel, and keep smiling, it makes you look younger too!! lol Thanks and take care!

Hay Captain, How is life in Oregon? All good here in Washington. Take care out there.
I know what you mean. I try to stay away from those threads only because it's really different up here. Green lights only, inside, on the dash, not mounted to the vehicle and the HTA has to be followed, no exceptions, so no speeding, no running reds and stops, even after stopping for them.
I find threads like that kind of like the student who asks a question only so he can answer it himself and tell you a story of what he's done... haha... we had a couple of those in drill school.. they definitely add to the entertainment!! :)
Hi Jim! My pleasure. It's nice to read some common sense on here now and then, and to also see some more people actually realize that life safety is our biggest job, including our own. Safety First!! :)
Take care and let me know if you're coming to Canada!! I'll see if I can play tour guide!!
I agree wholeheartedly about the seatbelts issue. I'm just astounded at how so many otherwise intelligent people can make such a stupid decision in not wearing a seatbelt.
Thanks for your comments-
We should talk I also work in staffing. Mine is nurses. I also staff paramedics to one of the local hospitals.I agree about the staffing issues. I have a little different take one how to manage the nursing shortage with Paramedics with enhanced skill levels
I conduct fire service training and training records management as a fire service consultant. I specialize in serving small and or understaffed agencies. Please check out my site, and thank you in advance.
