Bio:: Im 25 years old, grew up around the fire service, my dad retired from Sedgwick County Fire Department as a Battalion Chief, wanted to become a firefighter, but God had other plans. Luckily he opened some doors for me with the Wichita Fire Department to be a photographer so I can still get my fill of FD stuff.After I graduated from Hutch with my Fire Science degree, I was a Lt. for Riley County Fire Department for 2 years while I was in college at Kansas State University. Now I am married,and I'm the Production Manager for a manufacturing plant in Wichita. I run a few webpages for some departments, most notable would be wichitafire.org

Web site:: http://www.wichitafire.org

I am looking for Kansas firefighters to help a group of us document the major fire departments in Kansas, please e-mail me if you can help or would like your Dept to be included in our documentation. Thanks! athomas5784@hotmail.com
