our friday morning was primarily spent touring the fire station near our house. there were plenty of things to see at the station, and we gleaned plenty of information from our wonderful tour guide.
what were some things we learned from captain collins?
- the aerial ladder stretches up to 150 feet.
- all incoming firefighters in the cities surrounding cleveland are required to be certified paramedics (though this is not a requirement in cleveland proper).
- firefighters do not require a CDL to drive the trucks.
- it takes firefighters approximately 60 seconds from the time they're notified of an emergency to the time they depart from the station.
- they purchase and prepare their own food during the times they reside at the station.
- children under 80 lbs. should not be placed in the front passenger seat, because if the airbag is deployed the force can severely harm or possibly kill the child.
- their kitchen is immaculate and certainly MUCH cleaner than mine. sadly, no one accepted my offer to come over and clean my kitchen.

I like your Planet Natural Link. Alex is accustomed to putting cracked corn and soybean meal in our lawn. Our grass is greener on this side.
thanks. it's my cousin's business out of bozeman. he's got some pretty helpful articles on the site too.
