Thanks again for helping with the Stillwater assessment. Having guys like you there makes the day go a little quicker. You should tell Scott K. about the Trench rescue in Lawton, he'd appreciate it. I just bashed him on his pic.
Have a good Turkey day!
Thanks for joining CSF (Common Sense Firefighting ) It's a fire ground decision making page. Jump into any discussion at any time. What kind of hi rise training do you do? We may be doing a hi rise class in the northern suburbs of Chgo in the spring.
