Today's Fire Service can't afford these "Good 'ol Boy" Departments / systems anymore and they shouldn't be tolerated (by us or the citizens we protect).

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 ...

We’re winding down a fairly busy cycle. It’s been a good week but I’m ready for our 4-day break! I think Randy is looking forward to it as well. This week’s training centered around “calling the MAYDAY”, “Search and Rescue” and “Vent Enter Search”. Of course, we caught our normal run load and had some cleaning to do in between… ...

Today is Sunday and the last day of our cycle …. we start 4 day break tomorrow! For us, it’s been a  relatively quiet cycle. Our Brothers out in the County haven’t been so lucky. A local man was killed this weekend after going back into his burning home to retrieve some clothing. The fire happened in the Cave Spring ...

I know.. I know but its been kinda busy lately. No kidding, things have been fairly steady both on the job and at home. I know I have a lot of catching up to do so grab a seat. For starters, I should be off on vacation today but Coon and I switched a day so I can make Fire ...

Don’t you love it when plans fall to pieces?? The fact that I’m here and posting means I am NOT going to get to see The Worx tonight. The good news is that the tickets didn’t go to waste and the farm “manager” (she got a field promotion from farm “hand”) is in for a good time tonight. Me…. I’m ...

Geesh. I’m still here and been up sine 04:00 (Damn you Schmoe!) We actually caught a little work this morning. Well OK, 2 sheds aint really work but its the most fire Opie’s seen since they kicked us out of #9. I’m working today for Capt. “Bucket head” Craft on A-shift and we haven’t had a break yet. I was ...

We’re back and it’s Mon. Wed. Friday week…ugggggg! I HATE it! It seems as if you can never get anything done when working this cycle..at home that is. It’s rainy and cool anyway so I guess being here is as good as being anywhere else. It’s been a busy one too. We obviously haven’t had any fires but our brothers ...
