AFA's suck. 9 times out of 10 there nothing. When I ride with the Ocoee Fire Dept I ride rescue. I prefer medical over fire. but I switch between the two. MVA's are always fun. later. stay Safe.
Wow! Small world! Actually I (unfortunately) relocated back to Ohio and I REALLY want to return back to the fire department there. I MISS the job more than you can imagine! Yep! Today I believe that B crew is working. I'm pretty sure you heard the federal que whining sometime today! I left just before the new Chipotle building was being finished on Virginia Beach Blvd. this summer. Hopefully if things work out, I'll be back before my "window" of return expires.
Thalia FD is really awesome!! Hope you get to come back. Im always listening to the scanner and hear them leaving the station all the time. Im really hoping you guys get a new station (in the same place) .... They've been talking about it.
Ahhhhh, you probably remembered the Allied Technologies fire that happened in March of this year! That was the BIGGEST fire I fought in my life! MAN I miss that day and would relive it if I could! I believe that Chesepeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, and Suffolk Fire departments were there as well. It all started off as a regular smoke alarm. When I saw that smoke from the distance of town center, I KNEW it was going to be a long day.
Nah, a little past that! It was across the street from the Popeye's restaurant and the plaza on Virginia Beach Blvd. I believe it was March 9th of this year. Without exaggeration I believe there were about 45-50 fire trucks there total! It's actually located behind the old Bills Flea Market building.
its a major thing down here to use electrics. plus some departments in this area use the powercall, not to mention the rotoray. plus these guys probably see alot more calls than your department either way
awesome, hope you don't mind me using is on myspace.. I wil be in the vst starting next week, working my way on my goal fulltime vbfd. my grand father was a 40 yr vol. at station 3 old and new... later.
I freaking love the Q, :D

The reason why their bunker gear is clean is because they are a good department and they know how to maintain their gear!!!

This comment has received too many negative votes show
I don't see what the rush is they are only going to sit out side watch surround and drown which explains the clean turn out gear..

@nwbb43 But jackson has 5 stations, with 5 combo companies, and usually has a squad call or two going on most of the time.
