If you haven't heard or didn't know about Training Days, don't panic.... you still have time to sign up and there is still plenty of room (if not, we'll make room...LOL).Here's a brief overview of what will be offered...

"The F.O.O.L.S. exemplify the true meaning of the Brotherhood by providing training opportunities to Brother and Sister Firefighters worldwide. We organize benefits to assist not only a firefighter and their families in need, but our communities as well. The F.O.O.L.S. exist to strengthen the Brotherhood of our chosen profession and fuel the flame of passion we have for our calling".

There are other factors to consider here as well. What kind of attack will we be making? Offensive, Defensive maybe transitional? With all this additional time we've accumulated, the fire has certainly gotten a good jump on us. Is life safety involved (is someone trapped inside)?

You can't talk to a Truckie without a lot of grunting and hand signals plus, there was a funny odor around one of them so I didn't want to get too close.... LMAO.

Rumors are ABUNDANT! We are hearing of a member having either resigned or haven been fired, a Captain on or off of administrative leave, inappropriate text messages, pornography, a DUI, revoked licenses, a picture of a moose with 2 assholes and even that there is no such thing as the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus! WTF? I wish I could elaborate more but apparently, a "gag order" has been issued and nobody can tell me exactly what it is that I'm not supposed to talk about.
