My firefighter story.

I'm not a jogger but I walk. In April in Orlando they do a big 5K that is for both joggers and walkers. The first year I did this (2004) I was the only walker from my office.
Of course April in Orlando is not a cool month and that year was quite warm. I was walking and sweating and I hear all this noise from behind me.. it was applause.. I turned around and here were Orlando fire fighters in full gear (like BD is in all that yellow gear) JOGGING through the crowd!
My heart was in my throat, I was so impressed! And so happy that I was right there to experience that and have that memory.

You guys ROCK Jason, I so glad we got to wheel with and meet you and spotter.

That is awesome!!!   

Thanks guys!!  Its been a lot of fun so far  

If any of ya'll are in Reno in the next two months, give me a call (707) 365-9007.  My captain is cool with people coming by the station during working hours (8-5) so if you want to see the rig, let me know   Station 10.

we did have a guy in our academy that came over from RPD

He is one big biscuit eatin somebugger the sweetest heart of them!

BD I am so proud of you     and don't tell spotter I said but i have nothing on her! 

Aww, thanks diane!!
