I'm curious about your service area: square miles, population, number of volunteers, stations, apparatus, budget. I respect your desire to serve in an area like that - lots of challenges, but lots of fun, too!

Hello I saw that you put Sunny Ca on the bottom of your comment, I'm in Montana :) but it would be nice to go to Ca hear it is a little warmer there. Hoping that we don't get any fires this year here in Montana than last year. Just setting around home here in Montana and enjoying the good weather that we do have right now. Been to Weston lately? I wrote to Bill Boyd but haven't heard andything back from him, He does get busy through with working on radios and the fd too. Have a fun week.

Who is your friend there, I know some of those guys.

Yeah tell me about it, things have really changed there with a lot of stuff. When was the last time you were back. I went back the last couple of years and could not believe the growth up there. I know a few people that have left AVFD andwent to county because they were not happy with some of the stuff going on there.

I guess this (the medic thing) is something that a some of the guys have been trying to get implemented for a while now and it kept getting shot down.

yeah it is AMR now. They say that having a medic on the engine will supplement the amr medic, so lets say they roll on an MVA they will have atleast 2 medics on location right away instead of having to wait for another ambulance. Yeah i guess a bunch of them and stormed out of the meeting. The way I look at it, they should justbe glad to still have a job. |I would love to have a FT FF job.

Yes they did go county, alot of turmoil going on there from what I have read. Becker cleared out his desk that night and retired so they have in interm chief until the change over. I moved to the suburbs of Buffalo about 10 years ago. It is ok here but I miss the west coast and the good fires we used to get there. I just laugh everytime I hear them tone out a brush fire out here. They have no idea what a real brush fire is around here. I started out there as an explorer back in '86, when st.1 was the only fulltime station and everything else was PCF. Talk to you later

thank you for the add "Chan"
