We had several good discussions with valid points made by most everyone in the room. It didn't take long before the word "Millennials" was thrown out. Now all of us "old guys" know that the "Millennials" are, have been and will continue to be the damnation and ruin of the Fire Service.... right?

I don't have to hear a bunch of bitching and crying when I say we have to do this or that. They know I wouldn't ask something of them unless it was necessary for one reason or another.

We will actually be heading up a few days early. Rhett will be leading the Social Media crew this year while I'll be working with Dave Statter and the Production team. We shouldn't be too hard to find so, if you're attending; be sure to look us up and say hello.

That Chief gave the main reason for closing stations as that they could not accommodate "modern day fire equipment" ... they wouldn't fit. I guess he was thinking it was easier to build new stations rather than put a little extra thought into out truck specs.

There was a "life lesson" or some sort of Fire Department training in every task. They worked hard and expected the same of you. There was never an option other than "the right thing" and they ALWAYS looked after their members.
