brad, i have some pics of this fire that i should send to u for ur data base
That would be great Lt. I would like to ride a shift in the ditrict maybe in January with the camera. Maybe I could get some good photos for a day in the life. I know Elliot had been on me about coming down and riding and said it would be no problem with the brass.
Brad while the engine co from WEFR was on scene in hamilton township , the Rescue Squad was on the job on Pa turnpike "milepost unknown for a fatal crash " i will research that for you to add to the vast wealth of knowledge here.
Thanks, but who are you? Remember no anonymous comkments.
