Howdy Mike from your Favorite Water Weasel from Texas.. Didn't see you this year at the Fire Rescue International.. Did I miss you or where you not able to come for another visit to Texas? Oh FYI: I have been moved to another Station where I now am on a Quint or Truck every shift. Learning Truck work is pretty COOL! Don't rub it in.. Guess I won't be a Water Weasel forever.. HAHA..

Thanks Mike. Be safe and leave the front of the building open so the guys on the Engine don't have to stretch an extra 50 feet of hose. Just kidding.

Mike, I am starting to put together a basic EVO class for a local EMS Provider in part of my District. Was told class can't be more than 4 hours long. Got any ideas of what to cover in that limited amount of time?

Howdy from Texas. Haven't got a chance to tell you thx for coming to the Fire Engineering Fort Worth. I really enjoyed your class on truck ops. Oh, almost forgot Homer Robertson told me to tell you hello. Be safe and remember a Truckman is only as good as the Engine Company they are chasing.. Take care from a Water Weasel..
