The Week in Review

This past week proved to be a busy one for the 2 House Crew and the Tech Rescue Team members.  Monday was a B Shift day, and also the first day for Swiftwater Rescue Tech I class.  Class was stopped for a bit for a house fire, then it was back to getting our learn on.  Tuesday and Wednesday, the class to a field trip to McCoy Falls for the practical portion of the class, the water was a bit low but everybody had a good time.

Some instructions and word of wisdom  from Lt Tracy Coe.

Clownin' for the camera

Thursday, several people attended the 4th Annual Officer Seminar.  The guest speaker this year was Retired Deputy Chief  James P.  Smith of the Philadelphia Fire Department, and the topic presented was "Strategic and Tactical Considerations on the Fire Ground".  

Friday was just one of those uneventful kinda days.  "And you know this, maaaan!"

Until next time, stay safe and train hard!

Just a note

I received a couple of messages from some people that read the blog, and they asked why nothing was posted about the 10 year anniversary of Sept 11th.
 I would feel safe in saying that most people that this read blog, do not have to be told "Never Forget", "Remember 343", and all of that stuff, it is a part of us.  After all of the fanfare, pomp and circumstance we are all still chauffeurs, engineers, DPO's, firefighters, firemen, probies, rookies, officers, and bosses.  The best way that we can honor those that lost their lives on that tragic day:

                                 Do Your Job!

  Honor them and those that have gone on before us.  Honor your department, and yourself by learning your job, knowing your job, and taking pride in the work that we do.
