Holy crap it's wet down here. Damn tropical storm won't make up it's mind!! We got some pretty bad flooding in some areas and a little bit of wind, but the east coast got it worse- like 25" of rain in about 2 days. We did get 14 sweet hrs of OT, though, so I can't complain too much. How's LI?

What's up?? Haven't been on in a while~ We had a pretty good save on a 4000sq. ft. 2-story house the other day. I'm first due on the engine with a rookie volunteer, but the best is that we had JUST finished a rather sixeable dinner at the local diner and were joking about puking in our masks at "the big one". Then the tones dropped =]
I'll put pics up in the next few days. How have you been doing?? Stayin busy?

What's new buckaroo?? Not too much on ths end. Just hot & humid as HELL~ starting our summertime pattern of circa 4p.m. thunderstorms. We can usually set our watches by them!! They bring strong wind and sometimes lightining, and you know what that means =] Oh yeah- the other 2 guys on my shift (we only run 3 FFs & 1 paramedic/shift) decided to become Contract Firefighters in Iraq/Afghanistan. They're shipping out in like a month. For like $95K ($85 tax free) it's not too bad! They get that for base salary PLUS they get a certain amount per call. I might be going back into the Army as a firefighter, too. Still running the numbers.

Hey there Erin~ We had a garage fire yesterday and a couple of MVCs, but other than that, not much!! We went 8 days straight w/o a call last week, so we've been pretty bored. We're in the middle of a really bad drought, but had an unexpected week of drenching rains about 3 weeks ago; the overall water table is still way low, though. Our brush fire season has been surprisingly slow, with a couple in surrounding districts- but the big one hasn't come yet!! How are things up there going?

Down the hatch girl!! What do you folks do for St. Paddy's Day there in Sag Harbor. We do shit here in FL, that's one day I do miss being in Boston for. Stay safe out there Sister.

Da Chief

Thanks to you! I've seen you like beer, how almost all firefighter! Very nice.

How are you?

Good for you. I know how it is to work for a slooowwww dept. Gets kinda old training on the same things~ especially with a limited budget :)

Thanks for the add. Love the page. You seem to have the heart that makes the fire service deserve you. Great to meet somebody from the Great state of NY. Stay safe and hardcore.

Not too bad~ had a structure fire mid-DEC and the first 3 shifts this year brought a boat fire & 2 vehicle fires!! Pretty exciting, in all actuality :) One of the guys on my shift had a lil boy day before last shift, too!
You cold up there? We just watched the Pats game & the Packers game is gettin ready to start. Looks cold up there!!!
