How are you chief? Thanks again for all of your help and career support when I was in FB. I'm on B-shift myself, so I obviously don't get to stop by and visit much. Hope all is well with you. Stay safe!

Greetings,

Please allow me to invite you to a site designed by responders for responders... the crew that is doing it is CISM multilevel trained and are there for the guys after the bad calls.

As a chaplain with over 25 years of service to fire departments I am excited with it's potential to provide support.
