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.

I used to ride with squad 4 in Brooklyn as a kid with my dad and the little instamatic camera I would sometimes carry sucked compared to today's camera's. Even got to see the super pumper at work a few times. I did learn alot riding both in FDNY and Boston that came in handy when I was on the job. There are many good lessons learned when sitting at the firehouse kitchen table.

On my next trip home we should get together for a pint or two. Or if you head out to Colo Springs for the IAFF Fallen Firefighter Memorial (quite a photo and drinking op) let me know.
