    Thanks man. Thats the idea. I did three years of fire college and got tons of certs. However my school at the time didn't offer the NFPA Fire Fighter II and that is going to hold me back. So I am hoping to either obtain it with the FD or go take a course this winter.

    Way to go man. Volunteering has been one of the greatest things I've done in my life. The comraderie (sp?) and the overall good feeling of helping out in the community is very satisfying. That and it's a great step in making it a career! Good job and always be safe!
