    You know how emotional "r1"gets when you compare them to R2! Do rescues even go on runs the only thing they do now is go on walks.. I made fun of sandys F 1 racing hat. he bought it at the go cart place in braintree! NOw he is trying to recruit Doolin for that winebago called rescue 1

    Hi Bill,

    Please allow me to invite you to a site designed by responders for responders... the crew that is doing it is CISM multilevel trained and are there for the guys after the bad calls. It helps the responders that do not yet have a team or would be worried that they asking for help would be seen as weakness. Please join and share it when you can. As a chaplain with over 25 years of service to fire departments I am excited with it's potential to provide support.

    Hello Bill,

    I was wondering if you knew where I could get a copy of Feel the Heat ?. I recently picked up the Fire Buffs Guide to Boston and the MetroFire Communities, and there is a page w/ a ad from DMC Associates mentioning it. Would they be able to help?.

    Thanks in advance,

    Bill,

    Sorry to bother you again. Did you write Feel the Heat or did someone else, if not you do you know who did?.

    Thanks,
    Jay
