@Kiel_Samsing I’m loving the “smoothbore nozzles” comment 😂

[Thomas Perkins @Tperkins757]

Could anyone share details about their departments nozzle maintenance program? Starting from scratch over here 👎🏼

Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about taking care of those in your charge.

What a great week of training focused on the engine company. Thankful for the training officers who set it up, the hard charging students, my fellow instructors , and to work for a dept and admin that gets it.

@theHappyMedic I’ll stop drinking them after I burn through this case!

No one thinks you're a great fireman because you talk about someone else not being one.

@Dustinrice93 I’m about halfway through and all I can say is 🤯🤯🤯

@HolaFireMedic This concept didn’t really hit me until I started having kids. I am still passionate about the job but enjoy the time with my family just as much. It has to be a healthy mix.

BRINGING TRADITION BACK: Today was exciting, especially for members of Truck 3. They marked our new tiller truck in service & had their first call shortly after! Watch this to learn more about the apparatus. We are excited to bring back this concept to better serve our citizens.

@1Nadeau That place is insane. 1000000000 people waiting and 1 person working.

[Thomas Perkins @Tperkins757]

For the last two weeks my mind has completely checked out and my drive around the station has definitely gone down. I finally started reading @firesuccessbook tonight and it has given me a lot to think about. We are all a work in progress!
