Thanks for the note John! As the excitement of the promotion ceremony fades, I now must face the fact that I don't work on a fire truck anymore. The reason why I was here in the first place.

I Love the quote you left the other day. My very first Fire Chief would always say that to us and I have tried to live by it.
It was great to see someone elese using it in the fire service.
You need to get Walt on this he always has a lot of good things to say. TR Hagerty
