Hello Art!
Everything is going well! I hope you and your family doing great. I hear you and old man Barrett are teaching together every once and awhile. Hopefully, we will see you guys soon.
Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Hey "Chief", I know you are a Lt these days, but in my books you are still a Chief.
Have a safe & happy holiday, men like you are what makes the Fire Service great.
Take care..
Chief, men like you are what makes the brotherhood great.
Your story brought me to anger at the idiots in goverment & at the same time helped restore my faith that there still are men of character & courage.
Stay the course
We commend you on taking a stand for what is right. I am sure you have the infinite respect of the members of your department (more than you already did). Welcome back to the line (like you ever left), and we are proud to say that we know the most qualified and well-respected Lieutenant in the DPFD!
There are not many chiefs out there with the balls to stand-up to city admin, and now there is one less. Good luck!
Way to go! It seems that too many people fail to realize the consquences of cutting personnel. I commend you for standing up for what you believe in and good luck and stay safe!!!
Way to make a stand for what is right!! There are so many folks out there that think that the sky is falling when so many of us know the truth. I admire your courage to stand up to those who are making the rash decisions that affect us all. It is people like you, Jeff, Mike and Chris that truly understand what the brotherhood is all about! Keep your head up and keep charging forward. Like the other have said if you need anything just holler, I will be out in Chicago next week.
Art I am in awe of your courage!! Your actions demonstrate your honesty to the issue and your commitment to your department and your community.
There may be moments of doubt in your heart; this will pass my Brother. Your courage rings true. I am happy that someone finally had the backbone to stand up and say what we have all known for so long.
And there is a bonus for you; In the end you may be the happier man for it, ridding the rigs again.
KTF my friend.
Art, Thanks for not hanging the Fire Service out to dry! I echo what Chris said, Big Set Brother! Those of us that get it are here, if you need anything Bro! I'm in the state next door!

Hi Art, I came across this looking up something. Just wanted to say hello to an old friend. I hope everything is going well for you and your family.
Hope to see you around soon.

All is good up in DC, been a usual winter, but enjoying it. Hope all is good with you!
No ice on Lake Erie. Might not happen this year if. I have a 16' aluminum v bottom that I can drop in quick and be fishing in minutes.
Unseasonably warm here in Ohio. Have an off day tomorrow and may actually try getting out on the lake to fish.

Good point, adding extra safety controls is always a good practice.
