Congrats to All. I happen to like most of the people that go into Fire and Rescue. I can call them Heros, I often have a problem saying the same for Police; which I have to evaluate on a real one to one basis. I think Fire and Rescue is a great profession and if things had been different I would have enjoyed it. Just some advice guys; be careful getting too involved in police Shenanigans. They often try to rope you in when they want to pull something illegal. If you are bored, go to www.badcopnews.com---I did work for the Fire Communications Bureau for a year---long time ago---I just forgot.
