Title: Back in the fire service
Post by: herm on February 09, 2011, 05:59:08 PM
so, after a three years vacation (ha,ha) i am officially back in the firefighting game. its a little different this time, since i am now part of a local structural department instead of a national resource crew.

another big difference.......i get to start at the bottom all over again. thats a good thing, considering how little of my wild land experience carries over....but it will take some getting used to.

regardless, glad to be back at it.

You mean they don't want you lighting fires around the back of the house while they're in the kitchen putting out the fire there?   ;D

Congrats   [thumbsup]
