"Pickle Irons"

I am a proud owner of a 1955 F100 Ford Truck.  One summer afternoon, while driving my steering became very loose.  After giving the suspension a through once over the culprit was very evident.  I needed to replace the old, worn ball joint.  This being the first time undertaking such a project, I elicited the help of my father who is a…

Hello, Eddie, I'm I'm from the South of Italy, the city of Salerno.

I have discovered yesterday the fire engineering community.
On my web site (www.115extreme.it) there are many information on Italian Firefighters, sorry but at this moment it is only in Italian :)

I research, Firefighters friends around the world that they want  exchange info, photo, video, gadgets and more on the fantastic Firefighters World :)

Hello, I just read a response by you in one of the discussions. You talked about your mentoring program. We have one as well. I would be very interested in seeing more of your program so I could compare and maybe improve ours. Would you be willing to share anything? Thanks!!

Althouhg carrying your own tools might be the answer--a better system is where everyone is properly trained on the departments tools--including proper maintenance,putting them back where they belong and understanding their proper use. Imagine the inventory nightmare if each firefighter carried his or her own tools--We all need to understand that our business is about supporting one another, working as a team and getting the job done that provides the best level of service our communities have decided they want. I agree that some of the smaller pocket tools could be firefighter owned--but the FE Tools we need should be department issue and everyone must be responsible for their use.
