Red lives matter. Any firefighters here ? Past or present.

Please post , want to see who else has heard the calling to serve his/her fellow human. EMS counts too.

Let's see.

You make me feel like the FNG! This is my 30th season of wild land fire fighting. I believe I have fought fire in 17 states and Canada.


I have nothing clever to put here.

My son has been a fireman/EMT for 14 years with a few being wildland and his wife is a paramedic, I'm proud of both of them.


I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
