Howdy Amanda,
How's it going darlin? I hope all is well with you too. I'm doing awesome and just enjoying a nice day being off. Things are going great in this neck of the woods but I'm SO ready for the nice hot Texas summer weather to get here. Stay safe, have fun and love on your family as much as possible because that's one of the most important things you can do.

Thank you, and you do the same!

Welcome to the Firefighter Nation. In addition to the relatively cool videos and fire scene photos, there are numerous groups, discussions and chat available.

If you have never had the opportunity, take a minute to explore firefighterclosecalls.com and the secret list. This is a wonderful web site to explore and learn from the mistakes of others. It is also, sadly, a roll call of those whom have made the ultimate sacrifice, in their service to their communities.

We have all joined the Public Safety Community for a variety of our personal reasons. Some of us are paid, while others volunteer. Many are firefighters, while others enjoy the EMS side of the house. We have active firefighters, line officers, chiefs, administrative officers, and a number of old timers who have seen most of the mistakes already made at least once. We have firefighters with many many years of experience, and others that, well, don’t. All are welcome here in The Nation. We welcome your input, just as we hope that you learn from the experiences of others.

Personally, I have 31 years service to the local fire department. I have held most line officer positions, and some administrative as well. Now part of the Old Guard so to speak, I am less inclined to go charging into where others are trying to escape. Instead, I choose to monitor the fire scene closely, attempting to ensure the safety of all on the fire scene.

I welcome you to the FFN. Here we all share one common goal.....

Everyone Goes Home

Hey. I hope your day is going great. I hope we can chatt sometime. TTYL

I'm doing AWESOME!!! I'm alive and kicking. Have the most amazing job with the fire department and have the best bunch of fire brothers you could ever hope for. I'm new to this website but everyone is really cool and have welcomed me here as firefighters do. Thanks for writing and please feel free to drop me a line anytime you want and ask me any questions you'd like to. I'm not shy and don't even mind talking about some of the darkest days of my life within the past 6 months when I wrecked my motorcycle. I hope you have a great day and that I hear from you soon.

Amanda, It's amazing what brings out the calling in us. Like you, there is nothing else I picture myself doing. Public service, more correctly public safety and specifically the fire service has defined who I am since I was 13yo living in the Virgin Islands.
