I can't wait to hear your keynote at FDIC! I agree that training is the best way to keep away from complacency. I purchased your book last year after taking your standpipe class and we find ourselves going through the book almost every shift. It has helped our attitudes and our readiness to fight high rise fires. I look forward to seeing you at FDIC this year. Take Care.

Our city is getting our first true high rise buildings and have been using your book as a guide for equipment and tactics. We are putting standpipe packs together and are having a difficult time finding the straps that were used in Denver. What do you use? Where can we get them? Any other suggestions for a Department just starting down this road would be appreciated.

Nice job with the FDIC Online lecture. I've attended your classes at FDIC and have your book, but I still seem to pick up information each time I hear your lectures.

Be safe,

I see that you will be visiting us in Seattle this winter. I know that you have a busy schedule to keep but the boys and I at Ladder 4 would like to invite you over for dinner at the fire house on the evening of the 10th. I’m sure Captain Gagliano will take care of you but I would like to extend an invitation personally.

Thank you for taking the time to come out to talk and share with us despite the rain.

The after noon of hands on training was some of the best training I've had in a long time and hopefully if you come out again it can be longer. Thanks for all you do. Doug Rice.

Would you mind taking a look at www.honortheirsacrifices.com and then contacting me?

Thanks,

We just wanted to drop you a line and let you know how much we value your training and your efforts. We thoroughly enjoyed the training for the Eastern Idaho Fools last spring, and look forward to seeing you again in the future....thanks again....jeff

Glad to see you joined the sight. What a great high rise class at FDIC this year. With the help of the information you gave me, we are about to transition to 2.5" hose for high rise packs. I purchased your book at FDIC this year and it has been a big hit around the firehouse. Thanks.

How's things?

I am so pleased you have joined this site. I started a High-Rise group a while back and I would love it if you would add to the discussions and start discussions. I love your book and have used it to help develop the High-Rise SOP in Oklahoma City. I hope to be in one of your classes at some time in the future because High-Rise tactics are fascinating to me. Thanks for your book.
