Brother Hoff,
You mention “Grudges” as a major issue affecting the “Brotherhood”, and you are correct. The inability to see beyond simple differences often clouds or soils our experience with the “hood”. I mention this for a few reason. First, it...
In a nut shell something I learned in church this weekend is AMC "Abiltiy to Manage Conflict"! Whether it is in our personal lives or in the the Brotherhood. When we become overcomers nothing and no one can defeat us because our will to survive is...
You're right Jeff, those are the tough ones, they aren't impressed much by rank, and enjoy the attention of being rebels. I think dealing with firefighters are like dealing with kids, each is different, and you have to learn them well enough to kn...
I try to be a Brother through and through to the best I can in my words and actions. None of us are perfect so why is it we want others to be? As much as I would love to be a F.O.O.L. I have not joined or been asked to join because the one here is...
I think everything is contagious, fear, calmness, attitude (good or bad). It's easy when you become part of an organization that has strong brotherhood, you just have to follow their example and fit in. But when things are fragmented, cliquish, an...
Wow what a topic. This one has been a live one in the firehouse lately. My answer is this. I believe that Brotherhood/Sisterhood definitely still exists but is paid a lot of lip service. It is all about actions, such as the firefighters in the exa...
I agree with Bryan Lafleur. He hit it dead on the head! For example, My shift was ordered to appear at a City Council meeting to accept an award for rescuing a little boy from a structure fire. None of us wanted to go a be a part of a politicians'...
For the most part, in my FD, its the young guys that stick together.. The old guys try to discourage us.. My company was founded with many by-laws based on brotherhood and being a family. Unfortunately, I have yet to see that.. Unless of course so...
Come and discuss or brag about your Fraternal Order of Leatherheads Society (FOOLS) organization. Looking to start a chapter in your area, I am sure we have enough qualified brothers out there to help!

Todd McKee said… - Dear Friend,
Please allow me to invite you to the group called HazMat Placards to Success. This group will allow firefighters to discuss a step by step process for a Hazardous Materials response. From the firefighter to the hazmat technician. The first step has been posted in the group, with many more steps to come.
Thank you!

- Be that as it may. Several professional organizations here have abided by the name requirement. And they do not have "throwing poo" as a line on their profile.

- Your comment made it seem as if you were endorsing his unprofessional profile. You know the policy. If you need refreshing on it, the link is on the side of the page. No screen names or nicknames are allowed. Also, having profile entries such as "throwing poo" and other related comments have no place here.
