I hope to see you there. I URGE you to attend if at all possible. Regardless of Rank or tenure ( if you're a "Rookie" firefighter...you definitely should attend). I believe we owe it to each other to do so. It's paying "RESPECT" to a Brother or Sister.

We came off the rig, I get my hook and tell boots to take the fire floor from side Alpha and that I'll take the floor above from side Charlie ... "I'll meet ya on the 2nd floor". Not the best but that's how we operate.

We made the 4 hour drive up yesterday and checked in around 2pm. It is truly an honor to be here. I've said it many times but, honestly; words can not describe what you see and feel at this place. I hope you have the opportunity to attend some day. As you can see, the Buckaroo was excited and ready to make the trip with us but I think he needs a few more years under his belt before I bring him along. Plus, I don't think he's even seen his "Paw Paw" cry.

Get your minds out of the gutter! Atlanta was last week ! I'm NOT talking about the sofa bed episode.

It’s our middle day here at Lucky #13 and we’re trying to ride it out quietly. It’s “that time of the month”  (check time) so things have been a little crazy. Last day, I didn’t post on “Randy” because he wasn’t here. It was his first day “traveling”. They needed a body down at The Deuce and our rookie’s number ...

I have good news and bad ….  The good news is that it looks like I’m gonna live! The bad news is that it looks like I’m gonna live … LOL. It feels like I haven’t been here in weeks but I did manage to find my way to Lucky #13 today. I walked into the station to find a ...

I had to cancel my trip to the   Pa. Fire Expo   this weekend but that doesn’t mean that YOU can’t go. I’ve been getting some pics and updates from the floor in Harrisburg and it looks like I’m missing a great show. I had intended to spend some time in the  FoxFire  booth with Zach Green and his crew. They are setup with  ...

I don’t know why but I always seem to get em …. GOLFERS! Last year it was Opie … now it’s “Boots” Taking off work to travel all the way down to the beach just to play a silly game. I have to admit that I don’t fully understand the fascination. I’ve voiced my concerns in previous posts but they ...

I know, I know .. I haven’t posted all week and, once again; I apologize. I know I say it all the time but I just been covered up. It’s the start of the “busy time” for the farm and the weather has actually cooperated this week. I’ve been putting in as much time as possible to get prepared for ...
