On a lighter note, do you guys in your departments have any traditions regarding personal firsts? It is tradition at work to buy to crew malts or blizzards, etc. for a first. E.g. this am, I helped deliver a baby in the back of an ambulance. I am buying DQ blizzards tomorrow.
Question for the firefighter group. Do vinyl windows fail at a lower temp than regular wood sash windows? Just a kitchen table discussion and Google not helping.
So...a good friend of mine had a heart attack. He has a good prognosis, all things considered. 45 and three kids and now up to 7 stents. My point is, take care of yourselves and reach out to your friends, we don't know how long we've got here. Take care friends.
If you like rock,watch Roy Orbison and Friends, a night in black and white
The older I get, the more I feel the frustration in the sentence, "What we are dealing with here is failure to communicate." Nothing like beating one's head against the wall of tracking down who is doing what and why. Sorry, had to vent
Many in todays fire service have had to seemingly climb a mountain to secure the best job in the world. Do you remember that journey…? If so, never forget the hard work, sweat, & effort it took to get you there - work harder now. @FHVigilance
Not a huge fan of Usher, but that was pretty good. Prince had the best Super bowl halftime performance ever, and I will die on that hill!
Ever heard of Hit & Move Fire Attack? Make sure when we hit the fire, that it doesn’t move past us. We were all taught not to crawl past fire. We advocate that we don’t move past superheated fuels or surfaces. Stay Intelligently Aggressive! Andy Starnes Insight Fire Training
Hitting a 3 wood with a wall directly in front of you is a bold strategy.
So, three things have been brought to my attention. 1. Playing 5 games of full court 5 on 5 is a hell imof a workout. 2. What 🏀 skills I had 20 years plus ago have atrophied severely. 3. I still love playing hoops. That's all. Have a great night friends.
“There are no perfect firefighters. Every one of us has survived moments we regret. During a long career, there will be times that you question your commitment. Excitement fades, routine sets in, and friends come and go. Politics wear you down, and time away from home becomes…
From the book "The 9L's" by Corley Moore. I believe this is absolutely true.
I've reached the point of going to get paper and pen to make a list and forgot half the stuff I wanted to write down.

More than one actually! Dear merciful God more than one.
@mtruck21 First anything = ice cream of any kind for the crew. When you pass probation, pump school, truck school, promote etc. you buy the guys steaks
@mtruck21 Great idea! Well done! We were a Pie and Icecream celebration station.
@mtruck21 Your first job on the nozzle gets you a whipped cream pie to the face.
Get on TV buy the shift ice cream, guys would slow motion the news to get a glimpse of a guys arm as he exited the rig to prove it .
On a lighter note, do you guys in your departments have any traditions regarding personal firsts? It is tradition at work to buy to crew malts or blizzards, etc. for a first. E.g. this am, I helped deliver a baby in the back of an ambulance. I am buying DQ blizzards tomorrow.

Some guys take them off due to the added weight. We are supposed to make multiple bailouts every year. Some years it happens some years it doesnt. I know we just went over it with a guy we have in academy so my crew has the concept down. We need to actually bail too
