Jay - when you get a chance in the next couple weeks give me a call and come on over and see the Command Training Center. I know you have used DC in the past, so I am sure you will like what we have going on!

Good seeing you at FDIC brother! Wish I could have spoke with you more! You really need to keep Nick on a lot shorter leash!

Thanks Chief... Hopefully the department will come around. I'm hoping this FDIC trip will open some eyes to our attendees. I'll see you at the conference! Just look for the Hawaii guys that are lost in Indy!

Fires do not think,
They react to set laws in relation to chemistry and physics.
We, the firefighters, are supposed to think and outsmart the fire.
Yet we often lose to this non-thinking entity.
This alone speaks volumes in relation to our education.
This should sound alarm bells at every level in regards to our training.
