Hey Erin - Welcome to FFN. There are 2 Single Fire Fighter groups on here - one which stays more active. Lots of men and women to socialize with. So come join us there as well. Another great group to join is the Chief's Back Room Crew - where we stir up a lot of mischief. See you around the pages. Heather B

Whats news? Hope all is well and be safe..

Just checked your videos Erin. Nice. Always music in the background? Our trucks have shit sound systems, the only time I've ever listened was to the ABC when the ACT went up in '03 - we were taking a strike team to northern Vic and were wondering if we'd be told to keep driving north...

hey erin, sorry been real busy have not had much time to check things out here, and it was nice talking to you, stay safe out there

HI Erin

Hope you are staying safe. Not sure how things have been for you guys there in WA but they have been very quite here in New Zealand.

hello erin...step here to say nice to be friend with you

G'day Erin - thanks for saying hello to the new boy. My single visit to the West doesn't really count - one day only and I wasn't even eight...

Just stopped by to say Hello, I hope you are well.

Hey Erin,
Good to hear from you, Australia is one place i dream about visiting! Might one day,the company my husband works for has a division down there. Your job sounds very rewarding. Hope to here from you soon. Stay safe and alert! Susan

Geloruprookie is looking or a promotion, when you get the truck stuck that means you can't drive. So now he wants to sit in the Capt. Seat. Don't put him in the back as that would cause him to be a back seat driver.

Yes last year in North America we had some bad fires. We had one bad one up north from me. I was there a couple days after it started. It was started by our Gov't Firefighters for a test. As they had people from all over the world. They felt that it was not safe as the bush was to dry. But some manager who is in an office said light it. Well it took off and it took a couple of weeks to put it out.

Not sure what is worse the waiting around or the part after you have been there for the first 24 hours and running on empty. Even when it's out, there is still a lot of work to be done.

We have just lost most of our snow, right now as we have had a warm front come in. 2 feet of snow has melted and now we are concerned with the rivers and water run off. Lots of flooding, as well we just get those people that think the ice on the lakes are still safe to go out on. Have had 3 people killed on ice in the past week.

Had a nasty house fire on Tuesday, everything going against that home with cedar shake room and wood siding and high winds. It was already through the roof when we where paged. No one was hurt that was the main thing.

The end of last year and this part of this year, out biggest program we are pushing is "Everyone Goes Home".

Stay safe.....Keep that stick on the ice....

Well we are in the mist of our winter as I know you are in the summer time right now. My sister lives there and will not come back to Canada to live till we get rid of the snow. Does not like the cold! For me I can't handle your heat, so enjoy our side of the map. Bush fires I'm not a fan of, as our gear is limited from what you will have. Although last year we had our fair share of some nasty bush fires.
Not a good summer for us that's for sure. Been busy for house fires here for the last little bit. Take care and stay safe....

Good Day Eh!

Just drop by to say hi! Sister is down in Australia, happy as ever. I have set up a couple areas on the website. To brag a little as well as help a little and of course learn a little. Hope you join in!

Roll Call
Introduction to your Fire House and what you have and how many calls you see in a year. Good way for others to understand how busy or how not busy you are.

Close Calls
Close Calls is an area where we can share the things that went wrong and how we learned by them. Things to share that someone else will not do the same mistake twice.

Trainers Corner
Topics, power point, videos, areas that need to be covered. Area where trainers can help trainers from different Fire Depts.

Mace
