Glad to hear you had a great weekend and you like your up-coming sister-n-law. Can be ugly when you start off on a bad foot. And it's sometimes nice to get a different culture in the family. I'm native and married into a Portuguese family. Enjoy there food and culture, have great brother-n-law as well as a big family now. But they are very close!
For Caledon, we are just north of Toronto, Ontario Canada. 9 Stations and growing, mostly rural area. At this time we have 1 hall which has a day and afternoon crew full time. Rest of the stations are Vol. but see two more going at least full time day shift. This will cover all 9 stations during the day unless they require more help. About 280 firefighters at this time. We have 12 more starting new recuit training in a couple of weeks. So that means I will as well as a crew of other Training Officers will be busy with training.
Both the past and present Chief have kept Caledon Fire up todate with the equipt. as well as trucks. Great training programs, and they hire with in before going outside.
I'm at the level which is pretty good, as I do not have the polictics to much. I guess that is your area that is a tough thing to deal with....
Well hope you have a great weekend with the company, I'm working this weekend shift. Had a nice lightening storm go through last night. Couple of call outs, nothing really. But a big relief for the fact that we got some major rain. Was getting busy again with grass fires....
Check out Roll Call Groups and put some info about your Fire House in... Like to hear what your station is like, what you have as well as for number for firefighters as well as number of calls. Pass it around to your Firefighter Friends too....Easy way to located this group is go to my site and look at the bottom left. Short cut if you have a hard time locating this.
Also as a Training Officer, theres the Trainers Corner too. Like to hear some of what your doing for training or what areas need to be addressed...
