Thanks for joining CSF (Common Sense Firefighting). It's a fire ground decision making and leadership page on the site. Jump into any discussion at any time. There are some good ones going right now. I think you'll like the threads on the page by looking at your page here and the web site. We could use your perspective. How many members do you get on the first due alarm Hilton Head FD?

Thanks for the reply on the Building a Team discussion! Celebrating successes is often overlooked because we are all so damn driven! Step back, take a breath and then charge on!
Thanks again!

I might be a crazy, but schappy in a speedo, will make me want to sleep with those snakes.
I have a DHL office next to mine, they might get the snake to you faster than the men in brown
Read your blog. Definitely a different world here. None of the nonsense of the other place so far - but they both have value.
It's pretty neat to be able to connect with some of the biggest names in the fire service - like yours.
Nice Pic man. Hope florida was a good trip.
