Thanks for the comments. I try to do the FFN stuff the same way I ran my fire station. There's a time to play and a time to work. Doing both well is the goal. And trust me, I'm really good at having fun and you obviously have seen my work ethic. Just wait until I finish my book... :D

Also, there's good news Justin! I also managed to get a shot of the inside of FETC's ride.

Personal Opinion: What's wrong with anyone having a scanner? Your departments proactive approach to keeping people informed and vigilant can only make the system work better, right?

If it is transmitted on an open frequency and my grandmother can hear it in her living room, I see no reason why anybody should be restricted from listening. If anybody is having a privet conversation on a vhf or uhf frequency they better reevaluate what privet means. Scanners are a tool, just like any other tool the user needs to be instructed on how to use this properly. Just remember, responding to a call that is not paged out to you is freelancing. Few things will get you kicked out of the fire service quicker then freelancing.
