Take care, stay safe.

I see some familiar faces, but I'm terrible with names. The guy in back with the hat was the chief's son wasn't he? The guy next to him was a paramedic. I think the guy in the middle row, right side was a lieutenant while I was on. Front row with the hat was the assistant chief and the guy in the white shorts was the chief. You'll have to refresh my memory as far as names go. I do remeber Troy Rotramel.

I have a couple of pics that I'll try to get up on my page.

As far as my career... I was in the Air Force Reserve at Pete when I joined SHVFD. I joined the Lubbock Fire Department in December of 1990, and moved to Texas. I've been here since. I am now a Captain on a truck company. It's a little slower than being on an engine, but it has it's perks.

At 2:41pm on May 2, 2008, Paul Montpetit said…: Andy....Personally I like it...it is a little heavy and the glass breaker tip is sort of sharp...but you know you have a good tool in your hands when you pick it up...I used it to pull siding off a house at a fire...the cross cut teeth in the pliers are wonderful...I may try and modify a hammer carrier or tool carrier to see if it will hold them on the outside of my pants instead of the pocket...but so far no complaints whatsoever...Paul
