Hello, Joe:

My name is Cindy and I am one of the editors for FireRescue magazine. We really like the photos you posted about the "Case Study: Small fire in basement" and I was wondering if we could use one to complement an article that we'll be posting today? If so, please let me know. We will of course, list you as the photographer. Thank you.

My Uncle Fritz wanted me to tell you and all of his FFN friends to visit this site and tell your friends.

hey chief just stopping by to say hello. how are things in the hills ?

Congrats on the white helmet. May it never get so heavy that you regret ever putting it on. I love the Prelude to a walk in the Woods call. As a Chief the words I always hated most coming from dispatch was "possible". It usually meant an all day/niter or a pain in the butt in paperwork "milk" run. By the way there is no such thing as a "milk" run, some one or something will always manage to screw it up.

congrats chief... im sure youll do fine, u got a great group behind ya

Your more then welcome Joe, it's good to have you
brother. Stay safe out there.

You're not dead after all!!! It's aliiivvvee!!

You are totally right the fire ground is not the correct to address anything. I was looking for feed back on what others would think. I would go through proper channels. My concern is firefighter safety, if I see something wrong I wonder if they know the facts. I think you for your input and be safe out there.

Joe, thanks so much for the kind words. I'll try and keep u all updated through the process and hopefully will become more active on FFN as well! Feel free to send any of ur friends my way.

Joe, Its that time here also everyone burning off brush&leaves 4 brush fires this week. Keeping our brush trucks up is difficult, cannt be afraid to use them for what they are. I still hate scratches on our equiptment. Lay of land here is much like Ithaca/ Finger Lakes area, we work 4x4s and skid units hard. Often use Dept of Forestry CAT Dozer to cut fire breaks. Told the boys recently (when they were crying about cold,26 degrees) about hitting a hydrant one January evening in 1991 at -20 degrees and having to tow 2 300ft sections of 5" back to the station frozen. I dont miss that part of upstate NY. PlaySafe=)
