ahh it's a quint. we run as an engine in our first due, and a second ladder elsewhere. it's kind of a hybrid responsibility I guess, doing both truck and hose work!
Hey Brother...glad you liked the page! Not bad for a yankee huh? Anything you see is yours for the stealing. Oh, and if I could get Guinness to flow from the monitor I'd probablt never leave my desk!
Nice to meet you too Mick. Things are just lovely in wonderful Gary Indiana. haha - We are on track for another title at the murder capitol again this year. We've been kind of slow for fire the last couple weeks though. It’s a good thing with all this heat we've been having.
Next time you’re passing through Gary on your way to South Bend stop by the fire house. My station is just off the Indiana Toll Road.
Yeah I know Eddie B and Steve. Even though I have only been active running for 5 years now I have been walking around in that fire house since I learned to walk. 3rd Generation Fire Fighter. I remember when Steve went to college at MU. I haven't heard much from him. I hear from Eddie now and again. Ed has known me since I was young.
Both of them were great guys when I knew them.
I would LOVE the article. We'll add it to the group! All is pretty good here. Our heat broke for two days at least, but tomorrow's supposed to be right back up in the 90s with bunches of humidity....yuck. I'm hoping training on Monday is pretty lax.
No not yet we have 3 of our guys who went and took the training then the former Chief wouldn't sign off on the paper work but we think the new Chief just might. Are there still openings on the team? And by the way Nice to meet you and look forward to some more discussions Doug
Thanks! Yeah it's a lot to deal with, and for it being two days before his birthday, it all sucks. We were on vacation that week. We didn't even know that Mark was one of the nine until the morning of his funeral..... by then, it was too late for us to even make it back home. But we're dealing with it, I don't think I'll ever really except it.... too many questions that don't have answers, and really I don't know if I want answers.
Hey Mick
Its been crazy around here, we have had a lot of rain, but little flooding in my area nothing like Dallas and up north. It has not rained here in about a week and I can just now walk in the back yard
Dealing with the heat now heat index today was 108.
Put in my Resume for Asst Chief with my Vol. Dept. will see if I get it this next week.
Family is doing good Brooklyn will be a year old next month.
Give the family a hug and kiss for me.
I'm really bad with not getting on here. My cousin was one of the Charleston Nine killed, Mark Kelsey. And I think the last five times I've been on, the first thing I've seen has been about them. It's just hard hearing about it, and seeing it all the time. Anyway, thanks for stopping by, I try to comment everyone back! Have a good weekend.
Any of you trying to add me as a friend right now: it appears as if I am having browser problems keeping me from accepting your invite. When I get home tomorrow (and on another computer) I'll catch up. Promise. I see you up there, taunting me...
