Burnt

Well dont tell the safety/standards guy but the nozzle may have gotten burned at the fire the other day. I was pulling some of the shingles down with a pike pole and a big chunk of burning wood hit me in the chin and went straight into my jacket and into my shirt. What are the odds? All I have to show for it now is a scar on my chest and a burnt uniform shirt. Anyway the whole thing was captured on camera. Here you can see the piece of wood falling for my face, then you can see the moose behind me as all the debris hit the ground then me acting like a little girl. Noticed the student from fire school in yellow reconsidering his career choice.

OT Fire

When the phone rings around 5:50 am and the phone reads fire. dept. you know what is going on. Well when I showed up to report for duty Ol' Moose man was my Lt. I guess they needed to call in the big guns to finish the job group 4 started. Here are a some pictures I came across from some of the local wildlife that was there watching. The OT crew reporting for duty at the fire, the OT crew putting the fire out and yes that is what you see, Ol' Moose with a hose line it does not happen much anymore but once in a while...

Rest in peace Terry

Well this is kind of a sad blog. We had a line of duty death last week when Terry Graham died of a heart attack. The full departmental funeral was yesterday. Here are some pictures that mrs. nozzle captured. That is me in the colour party with the american flag (I know I drew the short straw) Firefighters came from all over the country to attend (Edmonton, Calgary, Sault Ste Marie, Winnipeg, Toronto, NFLD, Halifax and of course all the departments from our province attended)

Quick update

well here I am in halifax just got back from the casino I will update you on my gambling progress tomorrow

Pretty Random

Here are a couple pretty random pictures the first is of a stop on a 4-wheeler run the second is a mudhole we came across apparently we were not the only ones who had trouble with it. And finally congrats to Mike for popping the big question at Tim Hortons Simms.

D-day

Well this was this past Dad's Day on the nozzle perch. Lt. Moose and Capt. Marvel came over here for a BBQ care of the Nozzles.

Nice Run

Well we decided last minute on monday to go for a bike run and have a bbq. This is a popular bike bbq area on top of a mountain with the saint john river in the foreground. That is our tiny charcoal BBQ cooking hamburgers we could only fit 4 at a time on

it.

Amazing chase

Well I spent the day at our training grounds yesterday running an event for the amazing chase. It was a fundraiser for P.R.O. Kids. If you have ever seen amazing race it was the same thing and we were one of the challenges. These are some pictures of the course I set up for them. If anything, it gave the civies a little bit of an appreciation for what is involved with our job. Our challenge was worth 30 points for finishing but you could get 10 extra points for wearing an air pack and another 10 points for taking a short cut through a long pipe that you can see in the back ground. One of the 2 man team wore a blacked out face piece. If you did not take the short cut you had to carry a heavy ladder some distance to where a charged hose line was that had to be dragged 60 feet.

New Toy

Well here she is folks the newest addition to the fleet. Her name will be revealed soon. There is still a place in my heart for ol' bumblebee though.

On sale

There is a sale right now on 2 weed whackers. May have trouble starting but I will guarantee they start on the 678th pull!

Goodbye

She was a good ol' girl. Apparently I should have gotten into sales. It only took 2 weeks for someone to snacth her up. Now I am having a total liquidation sale! If you need something have I got a

deal for you!

congrats!

A late congratulations to son of a milf and cup-link for the purchase of a new pad. We moved them in last weekend. I hope that psychic and mega watts dont give them a hard time with all their whooping and hollering!
