And yes, this is my first posting.

Durn Newbie!

And I am sitting here screaming at the damn weather Gods looking at this white precipitation , once again, chasing me across the US wherever I go. Can't a guy catch a break at all! 2 inches and still snowing, hello Toledo looks like you may be home for a day or so for me.

Hey Kurt are still in Toledo? If so, let me know where, I'm just about 5-10 minutes north of Toledo. Maybee we get a drink if my wife will let me out of the house.

Could be worse, could have a "newbie" marker next to my username or something. Kind of like the nice Scotchlite "R" that's on my helmet that I have to scrape off since that's all they had when I got my gear last week. Might just scrape one off just to confuse people.

Ahhh, new blood...I mean an eager grant writer willing to dive into the wonderful world of writing grants for the AFG.

I wonder what stupid.....I mean intelligent question will they ask of the old wise writers.

1) Why haven't I recieved an 1199A?
2) Where do I find the 10 q's?
3) What are grant gurus and what does it mean to me?
4) What types of drugs should I take during the long agonizing waiting period?
5) Where do I get my membership card to the "Waiting Room"?

Under priority 1 vehicle acquisitions for rural communities there is a listing for Brush/Attack. What are the specific requirements for Brush/Attack. Mainly pump size? tank capacity? Also have volunteer departments been successful in getting grants for Brush/Attack?

AFDRAS - We were fortunate enough to be selected for a quick attack. Went with NFPA1906. Cap, as others have mentioned, was $125k. Was able to add other stuff thanks to other grants. It is first out on everything except structures. Is wildland capable, has rescue equipment, PTO generator from Ford, nice light tower, and 300 GPM 27hp diesel driven aux pump. Combi tool, 120vac cord, and booster line precon on reels. Can start generator, pump and foam injeciton from cab and can start fighting fire as we roll up with remote nozzle. We thank the good Lord and those on these forums for the help in getting this unit. http://fairplayfire.org/Events.htm

I heard a rumor that's the wrong place to drive by with a cascade and compressor in your truck...

That's a sharp looking rig! Looks like you've got a lot of the same features we put on ours.

Gee, who knew so many around here got jokes to tell...I can feel the love... But that's the firehouse, it's when they stop busting stones that it's time to worry...

You got the new employee's highchair up to a keyboard yet ? Looks like our narrative will need to be updated soon for 2010.

Dude!

Styling truck. Too bad its mine. Give it back.

Where's my Quick Attack/Brush truck 1199 AFG?

[BC79er]

Gotta have some faith Rob. Ain't over yet, 2000 apps up for award haven't been touched yet. Sacrifice some more lawyers to the Gods of Funding to help out. It's OK to use lawyers, they're a Green Fuel since they reproduce more quickly than bamboo and they're not people.

I can imagine that would make the S. Service a little nervous. You have to hand it to those guys for the job they have done so far. I am really surprised “so far”

I am headed through your area today - headed to Tulsa, Hays KS, then back to Whiteman AFB. Can I stop by and let you clean the DDP out of my keyboard?

With credit to those guys, as soon as they ran me and checked me out, they were fine, even to the point of joking around with one of my guys quite a bit up in front of the White House. During the stop they were nothing but absolute professionals.

I'll be happy to do what I can to get it out of there.

That a bit of a long circuit, I feel for you.
