Oh, by the way. I took the FDNY boys on a quick trip through Gary on our way back East on Sunday.

They could not believe what they were seeing. The best comment I heard was, "this reminds me of New Orleans after Katrina hit". My reply to that was, yes but there was no hurricane here and this is normal!

Hey Mark, How are you? I talked to Dave Traiforos today about getting papers back to you guys. In fact, I'm using one of his pictures in the "Common Sense Firefighting" page on this site. Check it out. We 've got a question about roof venting on commercail buildings you might like. How the job going? I hope good. We just had a 3 alarm fire last workday where the truck I was on had to vent the 1st floor for the basement hose stretch.

Brazil is doing good, but he as had some bad luck for the past couple shifts. He seems to break down every ambulance he's in. He and his with are expecting another child, so I told him he needs to eat for two now, but knowing him you know its more like three now! Be safe, pete
