Thanks for joining CSF (Common Sense Firefighting ). I know that you've already added to some of the discussion, that's great. You can see that it is a fire ground decision making page on the site. How many members do you get on the first due alarm?

Hey Eric, So when are we gonna trade shirts from the "Shark Pit" and your "Shark Tank " ?
As of January 1 , I am back at the Pit from the Maruaders....Sven
I haven't been lazy about adding good calls to the blog, the problem is, is that we haven't had any in a while, of coure I also take off alot of time during the fall.
Have fun at the movies big brother!
That sounds like some sound byte from the movie "Dodge Ball"?
Things are going good, we have a new proby in the house today, today is his first shift, and it's pretty fun to see him all starry eyed, and just happy to be here! He's cooking in the kitchen as we speak.
How's it hanging in Yuba City?
Just read your comments on Tradition & FOOOLS and on EE's photo on Chief Laskey's page. I commented on the FOOLS blog yesterday and two of the men at our last Southside FOOLS meeting (as always) were EE and MAC. As usual, these "traditional" firefighters had a great deal to add to our discussions. You are right about them... It has been my pleasure to learn from and teach with them. We are indeed lucky to have these FOOLS.
Ya I agree that probably the best way in is to cut a "door" in the bars. Ideally I think that removal would be best, but in this case (due to the weight) it is not a viable option.
