Eric,

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.

Great to "meet" you

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.

WOW!! That door is nice. I would definitely say that that cage would weigh enough to kill someone if it fell on them, vise grips would not be the ticket here. What are you thinking as a plan of attack for this? Attack one side with the saw and pull it out? Could the winch be operated by fire crews? Is there any additional ways in? Love to hear your thoughts brother.

Hey Eric,

Great photos on your page, I love the cage over the doors. How does the cage move up and down? Is it locked in or can it move? That is great any more info would be much appreciated.

Thanks Bro and Stay Safe,
Andrew

Hey Cap

What's going on. Finally got a fire two shifts ago. 6 months with out one was getting kind of ridiculous. Had 2 rooms in the lower floor of a split level fully developed. I was assigned ventilation and secondary egress. How's every thing in NORCAL.

E,

I hate to tell you, but we had another job on the morning of 9/11, and we just wrapped up with a heavy auto extrication a few hours ago. A few good pics on my blog page.

I sound like an idiot!

Hey Bro,

I will be teaching VES down there with Olde Mike Clarke, Old Gallagher and Paddy Nichols. Should be a blast. I guess Stack and a few others are coming out and Bart is showing up too.
See you there, let me know you travel plans too.

Normally I don't like to share, but lately we could afford to send some "work" out, and still have our share. It has been a great year. EMS calls are down, and Fires are way up.
The only good side to a Recession and depressed economy I guess.

You never know, man. I write from the gut, so sometimes those comments come out without much forethought, kinda like the "baby" comment at the Convention. Geez, that split me up!

Hey Brother:

I'd love to write more for the site. I'm particularly fascinated by the leadership issues we face on the floor, dealing with a different generation of young people. Should I keep sending?

Hey, what's up Brother? I see you are logged on.

Tomorrow, we will be headed over the Olympic Penninsula for Andy Palmers Memorial Service. Is that fire out yet?

How is everything in Yuba City.

Check out some updating I did to my page and added a blog.
