Passed my medical, kit issued, training completed...3 extremely intensive training days 1:1 with training school staff to bring me back up to speed.
On Monday, I was cleaning the windows of a local school and on Friday, I was in breathing apparatus in a controlled fire to experience in operational conditions the rapid development of a fire into a Flashover situation...!!

I am now booked on shifts right through till the end of the year and start my first shift on 7/8/07.

I will not be posting as much, if at all, so I will wish you all well...good health, happiness to you all and the ones that count in your lives...

Steve,

All the best mate.

I was a retained Fire Fighter for 4 years here in Louth, Lincs.

Louth is a prety busy Retained station so I had to pack it in.........to much time of my job.  I would have gone F/T but , unlike you, I didn't think I was up to the extra training involved.

But Search and rescue BA training was great fun and I went on 2 Fire behavior courses, comartment entry prosedures..............nearly boiled my ears.............too much water in gas cooling!!!!!

E-Mail me at
david@salkeld95.freeserve.co.uk

to let me know how you go on

Best of good fortune to you Steve - working the pool is going to be fun , but you already know that  I used to work in the pool years ago and you start your first shift on my birthday - and its a big one!

All the best mate I will miss your posts, comments and observations

regards to you mate.

[Jeff Brimble]

Blimey - I didn't know Steve K looked like George Clooney's younger brother!

Bet Jan K, Lizzy, Sarah (and Tosh! ) will be blubbing at your departure!

All the best Steve! Post occasionally and let us know how you're doing.

[Lizzy]

Good Luck Steve K - I wish you well in your new chosen path.

Seriously, be happy, keep safe and most of all, enjoy the ride.
