Socal 16: Yes I do,I thought about volunteering again but I am getting a little old to be humping hose of tyhe back of a truck!

Yes I am. GIGGITYYY!!!

 

Saint John NB,L771,IAFF......In January I have 21 years complete.I worked for seven years on our Heavy Rescue,or the "squad".I'm now assigned to a fairly busy Engine Co.in the Eastern end of our City.We've got around 200 guys(and 3 girls) and I've loved every minute of it.I'm currently a First Class FF,and am 6 away for writing my Lt. exams.

Poser....




Back window of my truck.......




And one for today....Right side of my helmet.





I feel very fortunate to have been able to do this for a living.Thank you to the Volunteers who selflessly serve their communities....Stay safe Boys and Girls.

 

Couple of pics from a job we had earlier this year.....

That's foam I'm wading in,not snow



Ascending one of our aerials working a water tower...



The result of a bajillion gallons of water being poured into an open roof....




The view from the building next door....

 

nice pics... you guys sure do love your foam.

anyways i hope today everyone takes a moment to remember the 343 fallen brothers that gave the ultimate sacrifice 8 years ago...

 

Thanks.....as far as the foam is concerned,we don't usually use it for structural FFing.There was some experimentation taking place that day when the building was declared lost.

 

damn thats alot of foam haha, that pic of the front door reminds me of the fire academy days. with thousands of gallons of water pouring out of the tower

 

I love AFFF!!!! Works great on structure fires!!

 

I said the rabbit

 

We just watched a couple videos on 9/11 at work, we do every year. One of the videos was the one that the two brothers were filming the documentary on the "probie" and everytime I watch it I gain a new found respect for what those guys went through. I couldnt imagine what your brother went through, but I can only imagine what you guys had to go through waiting to find out about him. That is awesome that he made it through. I can almost garauntee that all 343 of them would do the exact same thing over again if they had to. Your brother IS a true hero.

Do us old Firefighters count? Retired with 31 years- 6 as Captain before I retired in 2005 from Local 1782 up here in BC. Great profession but it IS for you young guys and not for us old farts with bad backs!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Foam for house. Thats alot of money for a house fire AFFF isnt cheap. Not tring to knock just dont see the benefit for using it on ordinary combustibles.

 

yes sir and I wouldn't change it for anything
