Thank you for the add. Believe it or not, I live in a desert in Washington so it isn't too wet here! Have a good week and stay safe.

Right no I am just going where ever I can find work, buty goal is to be a full time firefighter/paramedic hopefully by the end of 2011.

Well I got away from training this summer and I didn't work out as much as I shoul, but I just started really getting back into it. I know what you mean as far as fitting it it. This summer I was working 70 hours or more a week, but now work I slowing down a bit so I am working out 6 days a week. The combat challenge is a a series of events that simulate stuff we do on most fire scenes. They hold competitions all over the country.

Yes it was a challenge. The trailer was basically jammed into the back of the tractor. The whole thing was suspended over a "ditch" (sorry wasn't sure how to describe it) that was apprx 10-12 ft deep. We used every bit of the stabilization equip. that we had to stabilize it for extrication.

A lot of our runs ar mutual aid. At least the field fire calls. We are a bit more known for our mva's since we have a section of interstate. We had a bad one not too long ago involving a semi. Chopper was called. It too a ton of stabilization to extricate the driver.

Thanks for the add. :)

Thanks! Nice 'meeting' you!

I appreciate what you said regarding CERT. There are not many people out there that consider us emergency response or even worth having. We are coming on slowly but sure it is more for education but for people like me it is a new doorway to open to possibilites. To those who are willing to answer the call to help others are everywhere and we just must recognize those people no matter how small a group is. Thank you and God Bless.
