Great image I found on the Net.

Whether paid or volunteer, firefighter or the public;  we have all been down this road…. Some like to linger and others use it as a mile marker???

 Where are you?

  • How to Train the New Fire Fighter
    Had the privilege speaking to the Connecticut Fire Service Instructor’s Association.  The topic was training the new firefighter.  The audio is basic.  It was live and not planned to be recorded.

  • The Fire Smoke Coalition Interview
    I joined the Fire Smoke Coalition years ago.  It was not until I got their information at FDIC (www.fdic.com) and reviewed it that I found a wealth of resources that can change firefighters lives.

  • Interview: Dr. Denis Onieal
    While attending the 2013 New Jersey Weekend, at the National Fire Academy, I was able to sit down for an informative chat with the Superintendent.  Dr. Denis Onieal and I go way back.  Twenty-eight years to be exact.  He has been a friend and mentor, for equally as long. Back in the mid to late 80’s, […]
