We had a storm a while ago but it wasnt too bad. We're lucky we dont get very bad weather, thank God. Just a massive amount of snow this past winter! I was alone so much cuz my hubby does snow removal.
We don't have a full-time grant writer, but we have several chiefs and a couple of company officers who have been to a variety of grant-writing courses and seminars. We don't always have success in getting grants, but we do OK. We have funded lots of technology - TICs, infrared thermometers, a RAD 57 pulse carbon monoxide detector (rehab tool) radiation detectors, and 4-gas atmospheric monitors and PID monitors from grants.
Our chief is all about funding things that make our job safer with money that our local tax base doesn't have to pay for.
Ok, I sent you a request on my space. Wow, really nice page there. I like it. There's more info on you there, lol. Now I know a bit more, like how old you are, lol.
ya they went 2 get ice cream and i didn't wont 2 go really bcause they r picking on me saying there gotta leave me there so ya but i got my ice cream lol
I've never been on the chat room in here. I joined the group, sometimes I go in and see what everyone is talking about. I just stay a couple of minutes then leave, lol. Im very shy. Im only used to talking to a couple of friends, one on one, like on my space or yahoo.
Yeah, same here. I got extra rest to help get rid of my cold. So, I had all this time to be online and no one else was. I havent talked to anyone since Friday night! Sometimes, I dont have enough time to talk to everyone that I want to. So, it figures that no one else was on when I had all that time.

Good luck, and stay safe, brother.

I'd be interested in hearing more - privately - about the training fire you brought up in the ears-vs-flash hood discussion.
I'm a training chief now, and training fires are of particular interest to me.
Im going to go find your page and send you a friend request. Thanks.
