Hey Damon, Thanks for the nice words of encouragement. I've gotten a lot of positive response from folks asking me to put out more stuff... I'm thinking about is as we speak.

I hear ya Brother. Sometimes I think that's her job here on FFN! Stay safe & thanks for the add.
The trikes carry about 50 Ft. of hose and are perfect for the alleyways in Chinese cities which are often less than 2 meters wide and ar ethe only "roads" into many residential areas.
Here in Korea where we live right now, the Korean Fire Depratments have mini-pumpers which are built on a "Towner" Chasis. A Towner is a gas-powered vhicle slightly larger than a golf Cart and capable of going 60 mph. I drive one as my personal vehicle and I can do a full 360deg in a narrow road without having to back up at all. Again they fit into some places even a Ford Escort wouldn't fit into!

Thankyou sweetheart..I try to add more but I have not had too much time.stay safe!! Phoenix
Joe those two came to us we did not know they were interested until then . FFN can be a tool adapt and overcome ain't that what we are supposed to do ?
Damon, FFN can be a tool, but you know that a tool can be harmful if not used appropriately.
FFN is a tool for learning, teaching, socializing, and even venting if need be. I believe that the in-fighting and people-bashing sometimes seen on FFN is common in pretty much all organizations comprised of people - work, church, PTA, and so on.
I'm a member of several non-firefighting internet forums and believe me, I see the same thing on those.
If prospective new members aren't wise enough to recognize this fundamental trait of human nature, they could very well be scared off or disillusioned by what they see on FFN. IMHO.
Hey dude,did you see the points dropped in half???Thats why i said the points do not matter and should be dropped.Do you change the rules in the middle of a football game??What about a nascar race.Could you imagine taking points away from Nascar drivers during the race. What a joke.Have fun and be safe.Oh ya,I am deducting money from payroll just because.
