Congrats on your award and thank you for your continued service.
I've been chief of our local fire dept for going on 15 years, I truly appreciate the dedication and dependability of my older fire fighters.
Young fire fighters are hard to come by nowadays, I depend on my older guys to pump the engines, drive the tankers and direct traffic so the few young guns I have can fight the fire.
Couple of young guys where ragging the older guys one day, I asked them if they wanted to fight fire or stand at the pump panel, then asked who they wanted on the pump panel when they went inside to fight the fire.
No more ragging and some have become real good friends with the older guys.
New home construction and modern furniture burns so fast by the time I drive to the fire house, roll the engine and get on scene the house is fully involved.
They did a test on old construction and furnishings verses modern where they turned a candle over on the sofa and timed how long it took for the room to become fully involved.
Old took 16 minutes
Modern took 3 1/2 minutes
Take me 4 minutes to drive to the fire house and get my gear on.
