I don't know much about fire - the SES is the jack-of-all-trades of rescue work. My unit does Road Crash Rescue, General, Vertical, Storm and Floodboat rescue, Land Search and so forth. Enough there to keep us fairly busy, especially in the storm season.
I am an old fart, so I stick to communications, operations centre work, and I do the media for the unit, plus a bit of dogs-bodying for the serious rescue people.
Glad you're headed back to the Commonwealth of PA! I'll be in Pittsburgh studying but wish you well in the other corner of the state. I'll look forward to a future opportunity to catch your program.
Keep up the good work!
Pete

Now I feel lousy, Mick.
The comment I left was my attempt at humor among my partners. I shouldn't have left it and publicly apologize to you for it. One thing I'm learning is that my dry sense of humor doesn't translate well when using ones and zeroes. Not accompanied by the correct tone, such a comment invites misinterpretation- with this being a shining example.
Fire Daily has been around for all of 75 days, and I feel honored and extremely lucky to be able to post my ramblings among the greats that have been around for years. You guys have built a foundation so that newbies like me can come along and stumble their way into some form of the success you've long since earned.
I have learned much from FirehouseZen for a long time now, and I just got schooled again. You owe an apology to no one, rather I ask you for to forgive me.
I'll be adding this to my growing list confession on Wednesday.

Hey chief Got a question for ya. Im the Captain in my little vol fire dept. we don't have a truck, we got an engine, air, and brush truck. But I'm a firm believer in that you don't need a truck to do truck work. Just the tools and training. I was wondering if you could tell me how to get the bible you were talking about your group cancel the engine? I didn' join because I don't have a truck and I believe that you need them both. You compliment each other on the job if done right. Thank you!! Bull
no, no, no, I did not read that in your comment . My statement was just a general statement about placing blame when such a horrific event happens. Seems like now days so many people , including our government and oversight agencies immediately look for blame. Sorry for making it sound like you were placing blame
Eleanor Roosevelt: "Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people."
It took a few days, but she gets credit for the quote. Thanks for being a great mind.
Hi Mick hey I like the cancel the engine. from northern michigan,Petoskey where tonite it's aprox minus10 degrees with 6 more inches of blowing snow forecasted for tonite, brrrrr. hope all is good with you. so take care and be safe.
Everything in Bridgeport and Upper Merion are good. I love running for King of Prussia. If you want a place to stay for a day or two, I have a guest room and I hope my parents won't mind. How is everything in SC?
