Just got back home from the Iowa Instructors conference, I took the train the trainer for Courage to be Safe, Pretty powerful presentation. It really made me think again about our safety. Are you hunting the whole weekend?

I went to that one in Indianapolis about 3 or 4 years ago, and one in Baltimore last year. It's a very expensive trip from Alaska, especially since they frown on sharing a room with a brother, so it probably won't be something I attend every year. Besides, only work at my paid department now, so the volunteer department that sent me won't support me any more.

Aww thanks! Looking at being one of those -25 F nights. Got the parka, mittens and hat all lined up in case I get stuck at a pump panel. Hope you're staying warm in your neck of the woods. Stay safe! Joy Beth

Hi Tim,
Yes, I travel throughout the US training on FF Survival, RIT, Spec Op's and a few more subjects. If you would like me to come out there for training, give me a call at 631-514-1291. Thanks
Tony
