First day on shift and.....
After 2 months of being on 40's for training, yesterday was my first 24 on. I showed up for roll call and the BC said that I was going to be on the ladder truck. Okay, 4th on the truck would be a good first day. He told me that I would be riding in the officers seat Well, except for a couple of non critical (radio) rookie mistakes, I made it through the night and had a blast. We ran several alarm calls, one water leak in a structure, a smoke in a structure with the last call at 23:30. I didnt sleep a whole lot worrried about missing a call, so its off to bed for a power nap.

Congratulations Bill! Enjoy the new job. I've been a volunteer fireman for 27 years now and the brotherhood in the place is incredible, and yes the culinary part is wonderful!

Congrats Bill! I've been a volunteer FF and a certified ECA in our town for 5 yrs. Keeps me busy. Don't know how you're gonna juggle everything now though. I loved your web site, those ribs really looked good.

Thank guys. Yea, it has been a crazy two months. I have been off line alot. Now that things are getting in place, I will be on more often.
I was thinking about doing Bel Air, Norfolk and Lynchburg Capt. Couldn't get the time off to do the Shelby one again.
I have been getting a lot of calls about catering. That is always a good thing.
