    Mick,
    Thanks for joining CSF (Common Sense Firefighting). It's a fire ground decision making and leadership page on the site. Jump into any discussion at any time. There are some good ones going right now. I think you'll like the threads on the page by looking at your page here and the web site. We could use your perspective. How many members do you get on the first due alarm Hilton Head FD?
