I have never posted here but read it ALL the time.....I am in a fairly good sized city in central Illinois...I am a chauffer on the West Side Ladder Company. Its a quint. Its firetruck red like they ALL should be....ha ha

Today started with an EMS call we run about 6,000 calls a year....We then had vehicle stabilization training with our sister city dept. and 2 part time IFSI Instructors. Those guys know their S#**!!!!!!

I am on duty right now.....just fininshed up a good article in Fire Chief Magazine on Leadership in the Fire Service. Anyway......we have been quiet so far today...I plan to post on a frequent basis.....I love reading about all the other fires going on in the state.

We are all very lucky to be firefighters.....everyone be safe out there tonight.
