Fair enough!

No, the carts are two wheel drive, you will have to adjust without having a "MOOSE RACK" mounted on the front hood!
The weather has been 80-90 for the last 4-5 days. We placed the weather order back in November!

Hey, Ben. I just read about your department using college students. I went to Auburn University and went through a similar program. About 85% of the dept. is in school at AU. It does present problems, turnover especially. I know what your talking about. Take care. TN Ben

Hey Ben. Good to meet you. Thanks for your reply. Sorry to say I can't make it to the convention this year. Sounds like a good one (watch out for team pissbrick). Yall have fun and drink one for me. I just noticed you're from Alaska. Man, I bet that creates some unique problems for fighting fire. Take care and stay low. Ben. FTM-PTB

Hi Ben,

Unfortunately, D*** and I won't be able to make it to Seattle for the Convention. We were going to drive out (I hate airplanes), and with fuel prices the way they are it's just going to make it way too expensive. I truly wanted to finally meet you too; we're real disappointed that we won't be there.

Hey brother...are you excited for the convention? It's only a few weeks away.

See ya soon!

Ladder co. 72 made a "grab" the other day just after midnight on Saturday night. We had a reported person trapped. We arrived first, forced the front door to have fire in the stairwell going up and the stairwell going down. It was consumed in fire, as we ran up the stairs. Visibility was about 12" and we started an "oriented search". I found him within 2 minutes..combative for a few seconds then uncounscious. I met up with my irons truckman and he grabbed the legs with me on the torso. I radiod command (who just arrived) that L72 had a victim and we were coming out the front door. We had to go back through the stairwell with fire and then got him out to the lawn. He regained consc. within a bit, and was swearing, smoking cigarrettes and scratching his #^*$ within a 1/2 hour.
Everyone on the scene felt pretty damn good about how it all went down. I was acting Lt. that night (Fisher was in Hawaii), Ekse was the D/O, and my Truckman has only been off probation for 5 months.

TRAINING! TRAINING! TRAINING! TRAINING! TRAINING! TRAINING! TRAINING! TRAINING!

Excellent! Thanks Brother, and of course you are welcome. Thank You!

Sounds good brother. Tell Tideman, way to be the cool cucumber!
I wish I was there.
