Back safe, sound and somewhat relaxed. I know I had a few of ya wondering with my last post ... ok it was more of a "rant" than a post.

And  NO, I’m not talking about a Medic  LMAO!!! ( just kidding guys). I am talking about our wives or girlfriends. As big, bad and tough as we think we are…. take a minute and think about the women who keep us going. Taking a little heat, some smoke, a little hard labor… that’s nothing compared  what most firefighters put ...

Well, we are  less than 24 hours away from the final results of the  2010/2011 Black Diamond Boot Fire/EMS Blog of the Year!  We are holding a sizable lead in the Fire category and I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Well, I assume everyone else waits until the last minute because I ran into em everywhere I went. For me, shopping is ...

I know it’s nothing compared to Buffalo or anywhere North of here but, this mornings commute to the station was through 5 inches of ice covered snow. I have to leave early enough to check the cows before heading into the city and that was a real chore this morning. The good news is that after I got out to ...
