Ok, to begin with; tomorrow is going to be a busy day. The morning will be anyway. Tomorrow is our annual “vacation sign up day”. In the firehouse, we sign up for our “vacation” and “holidays” a year in advance. Time to clean the ol desk off and figure out the days we need… Here in the City, sign ups ...

I mentioned in the last post that it’s snowing here in Va. and that has me in the Christmas mood! I can’t wait to go to the Mall and let Santa’s little helper sit on my lap. Ummmm… errrrrrrrr… wait…I mean I can’t wait to I sit on her lap. Ahhhhhhhh…no,  I mean I can’t wait to sit on …… ...

Sorry folks … it’s been kinda busy here on the Ponderosa the last few days. Anyhow, I wanted to give ya a little something to “chew on” since I haven’t had time to get a “regular” or “decent” post up.  I thought it would be cool to re-visit some older posts since I have a ton of new followers / ...

As usual, some of the posted stories on the house fire in Roanoke on Monday morning are not entirely acurate. I’ll try to set the story straight and throw in a few more pics. Rhett posted a nice piece over on the Fire Critic , unfortunately; some of his facts were off (imagine that Statter). Here’s the video again…   We (Engine ...

WOW!  I carry the memories and feelings of that ...

Yes…. another animated video….. the Statter / Fire Critic saga continues despite Chief Reason’s involvement. ENJOY….

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I know I did. The Buckaroo, the girls and I spent the day at my Dad’s house for a very relaxing and belly busting Thanksgiving meal. Pop cooked a 25lb turkey and it turned out PERFECT. The only thing better than the food was spending the day with family. Now, my family is ...

What did you expect?? You did click on IronFiremen.com you know… now get your minds out of the gutter… it’s Thanksgiving for Pete’s sake! LOL Just a quick post to wish everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving. Special thoughts and wishes go out to our  Brothers and Sisters across the country pulling a tour today so that the rest of us can ...

It’s not even Thanksgiving yet but it all ready feels like Christmas here at the Ironfiremen Headquarters. When I got home this morning, something caught my eye on the front porch. Something didn’t fit or was out of place. Hummmm.. A package??? For me???  I quickly turned and scanned the woods for a sniper. I checked my chest for red ...
