Hi,! i am BHolloway,and i have been involved in the industry for some 25 yrs. I am  in fire engineering. That  is what i do ,is deal with wild land fires.We basicly lay out the fire roads for the dept of the interior,and The U.S.Forestry Services.We try to make sure that all the roads give the services access to all areas of the land, and keep the roads as close to a source of water as possible. Which isn't always easy,but we do the best we can.When not working i try to relax as much as possible. Well i hoipe this is enough info for everyone to go on,so they understand a little moe about myself.!!

Hi, I am Bea911diva   also known as Donna. I am a shift supervisor for a 911 center in Wilmington North Carolina. Our agency dispatches

for all emergency resources for the entire county. We are the answering point for 911 for the county also the regional crime stoppers hot line. My list could go on with the responsiblities we have. But, I will not bore you. Just wanted to pop in and say hello and looking forward to meeting new people and learning more. I have been with my agency for 15 years, and I am one to admit you can never know enough or learn too much.

firstly let me apologize for being a little late posting my intro on here. ok my name is Rob and i'm not a firefighter my wife is (ladyfirefighter08) she does fire and i have personal reasons for not doing it. however i am vice president of the auxillary and give my support and backing that way. i am a brit who has live in america for 6 years and will have been married for 6 years to lady in october. i served 11 nearly 12 years in the royal airforce and saw service during the 1st gulf war starting in saudi arabia,then kuwait finishing up in iraq by the end of the war. also seen service in northern ireland and germany plus several other places around the world. i love america and its a close 2nd only to my own country. i wasn't sure about joining this site as i am a non firefighter who has no plans to become one or at least until i can lay some ghosts of my own to rest--------who knows what the future holds????? i cant help you with firefighter terms but if you want info or a guide to britain then i'm your man infact parts of europe like germany and france i can do to. any questions feel free to ask i dont bite honest-----anyway you all take care and stay safe

Welcome to Firelink

Hello, everone. My name is Jeff and I'm addicted to.....oh, sorry. Wrong forum.

In any case, I am currently in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) but I am originally from The States. I haven't been here very long however I seriously doubt I will ever get used to the winters here. Walking outside when it's -40 actual temp in F with a wind chill that causes every trace of body heat to tell me that I'm on my own and that it will see me when I get back home is insane. Even the animals have enough sense to get the heck out of dodge.

I found out about your website from Allison about a week ago. Looks like there are a pretty good group of people that hang out here so I figured I would register and get to know everyone. I am not in the fire service directly however I do have a high regard for the men and women that put their lives on the line to keep us out of harms way.

 

Stay safe, everyone,

Jeff

Hi I'm Jc_murphy_.firedog. I'm married with kids. I work in construction. Vol. with Murphy NC. FD.

Way too slow! A lot of really good workers out of work.

Hey everyone, how ya'll doin'? My name is Blake, I'm in the "future" category, I'm heading to school for fire protection in the fall. I spent 4 years interning with the sheriff's office here, and got first responder certified in a public safety class where I finally saw the light of fire fighting. Otherwise, I currently work at a Ford dealership in the service department. In my free time I'm working on my truck, my demo-derby car, or spending time with my girlfriend, friends, and family... Anyways, I can't really remember how I found this site, but boy am I sure glad I did! Thanks!

Hey all! im Cathie/Katie go by both. Im a oil rig/path medic in Alberta Canada. Kind of go where the job takes me. Love my job and my chosen field hoping to continue on to an EMT-P but happy right now so we will see. Think this is a great place and I am looking forward to meeting lots of new people.

Hello to all! Great to be on here, just as on PoliceLink! I work for the Natchitoches City Police Department but I am a great supporter for the local fire department and EMS. I've never had to fight a fire, or even see one in action on a house (and hope that I never do) but I have heard some stories from the locals that have said what hero's the fire department was to them or family members. I hope I don't get bashed for being in Law Enforcement and loving the Fire Department but I honestly do. I hope to make lots of friends here on FireLink! I know I've made a ton on PoliceLink and they have also been very helpful. Take care, everyone. And to our men (and women) dressed in the fire gear..stay safe, with much respect! *kisses*

Hey,

My name is kenneth. i'm new to this site and i'm hoping it will be a good tool to help me become a firefighter. I've always wanted to be a smokejumper.... from the age of 7 i new that i wanted to help people in need. Funny thing happened to me today. on my way home from work there was a three car pile up. my first instinct was to get out and help....the only other guy that got out of his car was another young guy training to be a firefighter. it hit me that i wasn't doing enough to get on a crew so i found this site.

Hi all,

I'm Joe and I'm addicted to EMS. I tripped on this site yesterday and am hooked. I just became a volunteer EMT with my town and I might be looking at doing this for a living. I think I might have figured out what I want to do when I grow up(I'm 40). So I hope to add to this comunity as well as learn a thing or two (Love the quiz). So thank you in advance, and stay safe.
