Fuel oil too is on an upward climb...I need to top off my tankS before it gets bad again!

H e's closer than you think Mark.

ALS....Yet another post that shows just what an assett to emergency services you are... I am sitting here reading doing the breathing technique...

RIP. Brother, when you weep for me, Remember that it was meant to be. Lay me down and when you leave, Remember I’ll be at your sleeve. In every dark and choking hall, I’ll be there as you slowly crawl. On every roof in driving snow, I’ll hold your coat, and you will know. The house from which I now respond, Is overstaffed with heroes gone. Men who answered one last bell, Did the job and did it well. As firefighters we understand, That death’s card dealt in our hand. A card we hope we never play, But one we hold there anyway. That card is something we ignore, As we crawl across a weakened floor. For we know that we’re the only prayer, For anyone that might be there. So remember as you wipe your tears, The joy I knew throughout the years. As I did the job I loved to do, I pray that thought will see you through.

It is right off of the TSP - 20 minutes TOPS

Justin - the picture of Lt. Levin descending Ladder 1 is one of my favorites of all time. If you know Eric - that picture captures his personality 100 percent. It exudes "ghetto fire officer"....

Fear not...Copperfeilds WILL be well attended....we gonna get freaky deaky fo sho!

I like the chevron striping on the slide out trays and am surprised to not see them on the back.

You open yourself for another disturbing wake up call that way!

A DIFFERENT kind of "junk fire"

Looking good! I should have used "disect" in place of "tear apart".

At the risk of highjacking this thread, I don't care if the pics of ANY fires are action packed or not - I enjoy seeing them for the quality, and more importantly - to learn from them. These EFFD pics are not of a major worker, but still they capture me -I LOVE to look at each member in a picture and tear it apart - what gear are they wearing and how? What tools do they have? Apparatus placement? How did the fire effect the building? How did the building react to fire? The Command Post...ANY tips I can pick up. I enjoy seeing the PFD pics to see people and how they work - to put faces to names... No matter how simple - I enjoy all of your pics.

I looked through this gallery on your site Bill - very nice series. Obvious manpower shortage in the begining - good stop despite that. Good work EFFD. Will you be posting any from the PFD job?

Thanks Chief - wanted to talk some, but you looked preoccupied with people with WAY more bugles than I have!

I coulda gone Probie Bowling!

Thnak you my friend! THAT driveway SUCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank goodness it was nOT a fire..I was so out of breath from the one step up, 3 slides down, that I would have had NO problem being a feed man at the door! I almost just rode the can down like a sled....

Wow.....thanks! And thanks to Seth and EMTBravo for getting me BACK into the active ranks. JHK! JHK! JHK!

Thats the biggest shocker - the size difference! I wish I was around to experience the open cabs!

Thanks for you time here Chief. You ARE appreciated!

I would venture to specify COMMERCIAL EMS is far worse than municipal EMS.....
