Engine Company work is often viewed as easy or not as fulfilling as "Truck Company work".

Great group topic Tony. Thank You for all that you do.

Thanks for the invite Brother!
I would like to meet those who feel engine work is easy and unfulfilling....I'll bet they are truck guys or want to be truck guys. Everyone knows the engine company is the only company that actually puts out the fire. As we say, truck guys are only firemen helpers...they open it up so we can go to work.
