May Be The Coolest Job In The World

OK. Maybe not as cool as being a rock star or a professional athlete. But as far as jobs for regular people go, it's pretty darn cool. And it involves so many cool things. Like cool tools, cool clothes, a cool ride, cool schedule, cool t-shirts, cool fire stations, cool people. Actually there are some uncool people, but they're mostly chiefs.

Anyway, I'd like to share some of the cool stuff that I like about being a fireman with others who either are firefighters, like firefighters, live with a firefighter or want to be a firefighter (did I forget anybody?)

Lets have fun, talk about some cool stuff and please let me know what you think.

The Watch Book!

In my department we have what is called a watch book. It's a record of who was there and things that happened on a given day. So sign in! Aliases are OK if you need to fly in stealth mode.
