3 Alarm Fire

This morning we had a 3 alarm fire. Engine 4 and Engine 5 were first in. This was by far the biggest fire I've had so far.

First shooting

I had my first shooting the other night. I traded shifts with a guy and got sent over to Station 5 for the day and ended up on a shooting call.

Night of Dumpster Fires

So last night we had a busy night putting out dumpster fires. The first one we had was caught on video by the News on 6. The second one should have been, cause it was a huge one. Anyways, heres the link and a video.

Happy Anniversary!!

I'm a few days late on doing this, but I guess its better late than
never. December 31, 2007 Melissa and I were married, and as we pass the
first year I'm am so thankful for all she has given me. Without her and
her support I don't think I would be the man I am now. She's a terrific
mother and wife. I love you baby!
