Lead by example what is this guy trying to prove?
Give me some back ground on this photo please I am not sure that there is any good reason for the guy on the right maybe(Instructor) is trying to prove Wrong on so many levels!
Niel the ladder thing you spoke of works but, no matter what you do it is very labor intensive We have tried many different ways and I not sure that one way will work every time. This is a trial and error thing I would say try many different ways ...
What is going on with this women at NVFC, she must not have talked to any of rural America because cutting the grant that far is going to kill off a large number of small rural depts. They are going to give all that money to add more firefighters ...
I just came across this the NIOSH report is great and has a lot of good info in it.

- Hi Tim
Sorry to take so long to reply. I somehow have two members profiles on this and can't seen to get rid of one. I don't hunt myself, but know heaps of people that do. If you ever think about coming over here to NZ be sure to get in touch and I'll jack you up with the right contacts.
Cheers

Tim,
Yep, I'll be there. I'm staying at the Days Inn Airport. Monday, I'm in Billy G's class and on Tues. I'm taking Dennis Compton's Class. I will be working the CTBS booth in the PM on Wed. and Thurs. afternoon. I don't own a cell phone so if you want to get ahold of me call the Day's Inn and leave of message or let me know where we could meet and have a cold one.

Tim -- the pic shows R28 at a mutual aid job with the city of Wilmington, I spoke to a few of the officers at Station 28 and it's being replaced with a Rescue Pumper. Saw plenty of work in this county, that's for sure.

WHATS GOING ON WITH FEMA !
I can't be leave what FEMA is doing, dropping the FEMA Grant to basically nothing and then putting all that money in the SAFER Grant! There are departments that still don't have enough gear for all the members and equipment to fight fires, did they not look at the number of grant applications that they get every year? I have no idea who that women talk to but she must not have talked to rural America, this is a sad day in the fire service, they are giving money to depts to add members but the de… Continue
