| | Training | | Training is the backbone of the fire service. In any department, but especially in a slow one, it is imperitive that you train as often as possible to ensure that you can do the job when the time comes. Taking classes as often as possible and in-house training is what keeps you sharp, and it will show on the fireground. | | Other Companies | Prospect Park Fire Co., Delaware County Station 8

| | Favorite Quote | \"I have no ambition in this world but one, and that is to be a fireman. The position may, in the eyes of some, appear to be a lowly one; but we who know the work which the fireman has to do believe that his is a noble calling.\"
