Good on'ya, Trump!
(Do I have to call you "sir" now?)

Hey DougW,
Call me Sir and I will e-beat you around the lugs!.
I never got into this game to be a Hob-Knob!.
Just one of the Boys.

But,
let's just get real here for a moment, Fire-Fighting is a dangerous career path, either way.
I'd just like to take a moment to recognise those that have fallen in the line of duty, the world over, paid or un-paid, the call-outs are just the same.
I've been involved in both sides of the FFing game and the fires are no cooler, seems you aren't getting paid to fight them.
There is an International Brotherhood of us guys and girls, that's just how dedicated we are to our own and Fire Safety, world-wide.

Amen. An appropriate post for the American Memorial Day weekend.

Stay safe, Brothers.

Hey DougW and you all FF's in the States and the world over, have a safe and happy year forward, with not too many "bad" incidents, please?.

LOL,
Check out this little piece of wisdom!.
It's in here somewhere .
Good for a laugh.

We have a few towns and fire districts north of us that share our frequency - they also have a very high proportion of trailer parks and shacks. When the (mostly volunteer) departments get a call for a fire, they tone out the four departments as the initial page. The official name for this system is called 'pulling' a "quad one - north".

We refer to it as a "hillbilly north", and suggested once that they change the tone out from "To all quad one north departments..." to "HEY - Y'ALL COME!!!"

Good post, Mike!
