Hey LT. i messaged you around October asking about your Fire Departments test and when your Dept. will be hiring again and you said message you back around spring time. so has anything came up yet?

yea i am by the time i am done i will have an associates in fire science firefighter 1, and 2 and emt-intermediate

No not yet, unfortunately there are no departments around here hiring yet. But i do start college Monday to get my associates in Fire Science. A few departments are fixing to accept applications, and I am going to be there to get one. I cant wait to get my career rolling!

Hey LT.Borg how have you been? hope all is well!

Greg, no, Aumsville is about 6 houre north east of us next to Salem. Actually just down the road from our State Fire Academy. I am not familiar with the firefighters in that area Sorry Ladd. We are at the far end of the Oregon coast next the Cal/Or border.

Greg,

You're a stand-up guy. Stay safe and have a great New Year.

No wonder I liked your responses... Not having looked at your website prior, you've been around the block once or twice. Anyone who is an IAFF brother and has gray hair is cool with me. Stay safe Greg.

Greg,
Sorry so late with this response, I don't remember seeing it. The title is basically an old saying that an old Bat. Chief used to say. Meaning that we are our own worst enemies in most cases. In the firehouse, on the fireground and so on. That is the basis of the blog and the class that I present by the same title.

Take care and have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
Jason

just to be clear, Spokane played with Drumondville (half final) and Spokane won.

Have a nice day

Gilles

Hy Gregory this is the answer from a freind who know the Drumondville Voltigeur

"Les voltigeurs ont gagnés la coupe du président durant la saison 2008-2009 mais ont perdus en demis-finales de la coupe memorial contre les spitfires de Windsor.

Et en 1990-91 les voltigeurs avaient perdus en finale a la coupe memorial contre les chiefs de spokane."

I hope this will help you.

Gilles

yes. the Drumondville Voltigeur played for the mémorial cup buy i don't know when.
i know someone who can answer that, i 'll ask him and then i'll give you feedback.
