Phil Jose's Comments

Chief,
Thanks for the taking the time after class the other day. Would love to pick it up where we left off sometime. Thanks again.

PS-hope you don't mind I added the picture of "Seatle's Best" on here....just missing Steve though....

Thanks for the greeting Phil...yes, a proud moment for sure. This was the morning after returning from FDIC, don't look too close you'll find the "bags under my eyes". LOL I am waiting for my morning update on those fires...as of late last night things were getting worse. Never thought half my family would be evacuating home due to wildfires...that's just crazy. My brother sent some pics from his phone...I'll try to put them up if I can figure it out...I'm not good at this"techno" stuff. But most importantly...they are keeping a good attitude and following evac orders. I'll keep you posted. I am hoping some Florida FF will need to brush up on their Air Management skills soon...so I can have you guys over for dinner! Great to see you in your gear...and at FDIC. Congrats again on that promotion!
Stay safe..and in touch!.

Hey Phil,
It was good meeting you, Mike, and Casey at FDIC. The book on Air Management is great, I look forward to trying to get some of it implemented in my own FD.

Stay safe!

Phil, great class today. Appreciate the hard work you've done for the fire service. Dan

Phil, Thanks. I have to admit that I have not had the opportunity to use the sight to its fullest but I look forward to being a contributing member of the community.

Hey Boss! Congrats on the promotion, I didn't realize you left the Truck... One more month till FDIC, I can't wait. I'll be sure to find you and say hello. Stay Safe Bro! Aloha -Shane

Thanks, Chief, I'm glad to be here. This looks like a great site.

nice photo... just what you needed to make you look taller....

OSET was awesome! I love the fact that we went away from station and started doing actual bread and butter operations evolutions!

Phil,
I am readjusting my attention BACK to firefighting. After to many years doing Union stuff, I am begining to realize how much I missed and love Fire Training. I haven't gone to OSET yet. As far as my interests, Engine Company ops (Until I find a good truck to start playing on) and some basic Tactics and Strategies. I am enrolled in college, going for my Fire Command and Admin degree, so I am also hoping to use this site as an idea bouncing board as well as yet another learning experience.

Stay Safe!

Hi Phil,

Please allow me to introduce you to our special site for responders. It was designed for firefighters and other responders by responders. It is a great place to meet and have fun, join discussions and forums, play games and just have fun on good days. When you have a "bad call" it is a safe place to vent, debrief or let it all out to others that are there for you. Many of those here are trained in CISM and are peer counselors. Others are skilled at even more knowledgeable levels ... all here for you or your friends when needed. With over 25 years of firefighting and chaplaincy I can appreciate the need for as sight that is safe and helpful

Hey Phil,
We do have a 4 hour version that we teach to our Officer Development Class. It is identical to the Indy class minus the workshop, maybe 4 1/2 hours.

Stay safe.

Hey Phil, I'm glad I finally got a chance to thank you in person... Keep up the great work! Hope to see you guys in Hawaii someday. Don't be surprised if I call on you with more truck co. questions. Thanks Brother!
