I was hoping to achieve this mile stone with a big event but as most of you know its been slow in the area and I have missed the smaller events. At this time, I would like to thank all of you that continue to visit and support my site. All my corespondent's and the Fire Officers that allow me access to the incidents to bring you the Emergency events from the area. With out your support, many of the photos may never have come to life. In the past months, many local non-fire affiliated visitors have viewed this site and expressed their thanks in sharing the photos of what we do everyday. I know some of you are waiting for the recent training photos and video, I will have them up in the next few weeks. I'm in the process of changing my office location.
