Hey Brian, I saw you on Rich's homepage. I was also NFD 1985-2000. Ex capt H&L. Looks like you are doing well up there. Keep up the good work. Kenny Dean
I think it has been $95.00 per student for in state the last few years. Don't know what they charge out of state. We have gotten folks from NY for years coming to the program. I would incourage you to come down, bring a group if you can, but if they aren't interested, it is there lose. Sometimes you have to just get it own your own, know what I mean? Ha Ha ! Let me know, might be able to get you put up in a firehouse. I also teach the Farmedic Program.If you haven't taken it, I would incourage you to add it to your extrication training. Both of these programs are done in about 20 hours over a weekend (Fri night classes, and hands on all day sat and sun)
I live in Winston-Salem , North Carolina. I teach here and in Penn, Delaware, Maryland, and SC. Do a search on google or other for the Mason-Dixon Trench Weekend. It was in the spring the last few years after moving from the fall. Got caught up in flooding and 911 in the fall, so they moved to spring. Now they are thinking about changing the time of year again. It is run through HACC (harrisburg area community college in Penn) . Also googe Hanover FD in the Borough of Hanover, Penn for info. This program moved to Penn from Baltimore County , Maryland in 2000.
Your very welcome Moose. Don't let it get you down. I deal with some of the same stuff at departments I teach for and at my own department. There are those just along for the ride. Make it available for them, they will bite or pass, just like a catfish. My problem at my department is not my command staff, but the firefighters (mostly new with some old foggies too) that say "oh, this is just..... we don't need all that stuff". Alot of the attitude is not really there fault, it is generational in some regards and the old administrations attitude too. It will take time for the progressive staff to change attitudes. I know your problem is with management and members. Don't give up, hold in there. Give it more time to develope. Show them by example. Take care brother and look forward to talking further with you too. How about looking into coming down to Penn when we do the next
Mason-Dixon Trench Weekend. Really like to meet you. Jim

Sorry for the late reply - a long day, culminating in a 3-hour Planning Commission meeting while they debated on a street name for a street that was built and operated with no name...for 3 months.
You have to love a street that can't be entered into the 911 system because there's no way to address it. I guess our addressing technician will be busy tomorrow.
thanks for your comments, i really appreciate it, i seen you all had lots of calls today, i will be on most of the night if you wanna to write back, i do have my space and yahoo. my name is tammy. most of the time i am on my space. hope to hear from ya. take care. rescue3091@yahoo.com have a good one.

I'd enjoy that as well.
