Amen Brothers, I’m 27 years in local 461, 39 years in my town volunteer department. I’d love to meet you guys sometime and swap war stories. Stay safe out there! Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
Jimski2 I’m not going to debate you here since this is not the place. I would however love to sit down with you and discuss over a beer. You’re way off base in this in more ways than one. I have to believe you when you say you have over 30 years of experience but I have my doubts as to how much hands on experience and not classroom.

Only 3 trips for me too and the third hasn’t happened yet. Busy at work, got married again and weather wasn’t too cooperative when I did have time. Next year hoping more. Stay well my friend. Sent from my iPhone using Lake Ontario United mobile app
All is good here, hope all is good with you. Missed seeing you this year, kind of off season though. Going up next week for one last ride and bringing her home.
Sk8man, BC FD and Low Baller thank you! Low Baller for the original post and Sk8man and BC FD for yor replies. Nothing annoys me more than the arm chair experts that tell emergency services how the job should have been done after the fact. They knew this was nothing like they had ever experinced before, they knew it was a huge risk, they knew they might not make it out but they also knew there were thousands that needed help and they were going to do their best because that's what they do. Yes there was a large loss of life taken that day but there also was an etremely larger number of lives saved because of their efforts. God bless those brave men and women!
