Hi folks,
I am wondering how many active, professional firefighters we have out there in the engraving community? The shift schedule of most departments (24 on, 48 off) is such that most firefighters have a second vocation and as you know, engraving is my chosen field.
As for me, I have been a certified (or certifiable, take your pick) firefighter since 1982, worked for two departments and currently hold the rank of Lieutenant in the San Antonio Fire Department where I have been since 1985. On the way up through the ranks I spent time in our EMS division as a field paramedic and also in the communications division handling 911 calls and dispatching fire & EMS units. Currently I am the company officer of an ALS engine & crew (where we put the wet stuff on the red stuff & all that jazz!).
How many others are out there?
Thanks,
WL
