Tom Brown replied to Dan Rice's discussion Awards..."Not really. The membership votes on who ever they think did a great job over the past year.

Dan Rice added a discussion to the group Aggressive FirefightingWhat have you done for you lately?
I know, I know, it’s been about forever sense anything has been posted on here about much of anything. I’ve got a question for you though, what have you done lately to assure that you and your department are remaining safely aggressive? As I continue to read all the remarks about aggressive firefighting being dangerous, and reckless, and bla bla bla I am wondering what we are doing as a group to change this mentality. I know this doesn’t seem like much of anything, but give it a whirl and lets…See More
Dan Rice posted a discussionAwards...
Hello, I’ve got a question regarding awards and ceremonies. We are a small volunteer department that has 23 currently active members. We are working on establishing an awards list that defines what awards we have available and what is to be accomplished in order to be eligible for nomination. I am asking if anyone would be able to send me a list/breakdown, of what your department has as far as awards goes. We are wanting to create something that motivates members to WANT to make the change…See More

Dan Rice added a discussion to the group Aggressive FirefightingDoing Work
It has been some time sense I have posted anything on any of the sites that I write on. I have been in what some would call a slump, never knowing what to write about, never having the motivation to sit down and think myself through what I am feeling at the moment or the big concerns I have in the fire service. After taking a few “good” calls and realizing that the men and women I work with generally have a great outlook on the job at hand, I have realized that maybe something motivational…See More

My personal definition of a firefighter: Someone who will risk it all to save a life, whether it is the life of a total stranger or the life of a fellow brother who has been put in harms way. A firefighter is a person with the ability to perform and succeed as an ordinary person placed in extra ordinary positions. A firefighter is a person that can walk into his station and put aside any wrong doings from any of the firefighters in those four walls because those people are his BROTHERS, and no matter what has been done in the past to hurt or tear it apart, it can be pushed aside because family will always be family despite the occasional efforts to avoid the unavoidable. A firefighter is one of a depleting few that will do the job he’s called to do, with an angel watching over his right shoulder and a captain over his left he will face the unstoppable, and stop it.
