Hi Budd - nice site and blog - thanks for sharing, and keep up your noble efforts.

hello from new brunswick canada

Well, Budd. I don't know if you remember me or not. But, I was in your 1st responder class in Ben Lomond this past year. You take care and God bless.

Sorry it took so long.I wanted to verify who you would need to talk to.Bill Barnes would be your contact at (501)622-8246.The person that is at the top is Bob Summerville.Bill will get you in touch with him.Basically again , the program is as follows.You identify your needs and apply for a boat.The boats come without fire supplies.You will have to outfit it.The boats are available to depts. as they arrive.They have to be docked in a covered dock.You agree to train yearly with all of us.We get together once a year.The newer boats go to the existing programs first.Hey , we got two great boats for our first as the pictures show.Alot depends on how you put it together.Bill can help more or if you have questions, let me know.Be safe and God Bless.

Hey Bud, if you have the need for more boats, we can get you the info on who at the forestry to call.,They have been wonderfull to us.Be safe.

fine how about were u are?

Just trying to keep it in a tight circle. Sort of getting headaches with this pre-registered certified firefighting training.

thanks for the add.

If you are looking for boats,The forestry donates them free of charge.You supply the pump and stuff.All you really have to do is apply.If you need help,let us know.Be safe.
