I am thrilled to hear the keynote was enjoyed and gave some spark to your people... That was my prayers as I prepared it... Can't ever remeber being as afraid as I was that morning... White hot terror, amigo...
If you shoot me your email at michael.gagliano@seattle.gov, i'll email you some of the stuff we've done... I can also try to remember to include that email when I send those out...
Hope to catch up with you someday soon...
Keep up the great work and ride to the sound of the guns!

Thanks for the info. I saw the video at the "Out of Air" class at FDIC last year and it got me fired up to get an Air Management program started for my department. Unfortunately a lot of the guys on our department have become very complacent when it comes to SCBA use - I hope to change that. I hope the video will get there attention as it did mine. Thanks again.

I think you are trying to contact Jimmy Grostick and somehow your comment got routed to me. The only group I have joined is Air Management. Your CSF group sounds pretty interesting. I know my department could use more common sense.

Thanks for joining CSF (Common Sense Firfighting ) We're trying to make it a fire ground decision making page . I see you already joined one of the discussions- that's great. I see you have a combination dept. I've only been on full time dpets, I'm sure combo dpet are a challange
