I've worked the same unit as Lenny for the last year. We were partners for a while, and then mutual partners after I changed tours. I only recently joined this board because of him. I've worked in EMS in various places for the past 7 years and I can say without a doubt that Lenny was one of the finest people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. He was a consummate professional, an amazing person and one of my best friends. It hasn't yet sunk in that he is really gone forever. It pains me to think about the life that was cut short, and the amazing career that should have been.

Seth had been accepting checks toward donations in the past, unfortunately current circumstances preclude that as an option.
While we are working on a solution for a method to accept checks again, and only as a suggestion, perhaps you could persuade another member to submit a donation on your behalf, and we can give you the proper recognition once the transaction is completed.
Once the dust settles hopefully we can establish a permanent method for accepting paper checks, cash or money orders.
On behalf of the entire staff, Thanks again to all of those members who have been kind enough to contribute and help support our community. Your generosity is truly appreciated!

Just a reminder, folks, for those who haven't already done so, please consider making a donation to help support the EMTBravo family of websites.
Any amount is appreciated and will do a big part in keeping EMTBravo online. You can rest assured 100% of your generosity will go towards funding site operating expenses. Nobody is putting any money in their pockets, every penny received goes toward software licensing and web hosting and server costs, these recurring expenses never go away!
If you do decide to make a donation but don't wish to have the EMTBravo Investor badge showing on your profile, send me an Email or message me on the board, and I can make that go away.
I just want to personally say Thanks! to all of you who have already stepped up to help out, now, and in the past
Together we can do this.

Wether you like the site or dont care for the site. this has become a place to get information from others in the field. its a place where we can exchange ideas and information. look at how other departments handle things , even monday morning quarterbacking is allowed.. we can look at pictures and say I might have done this or that. I know i have used many pictures from this site in classes.
I guess what I am saying is it is time to step up reach in--- if every one just put in there coffee money for the week--you dont drink coffee--fribble money what ever you get the point.
This site has given us many oppurnities to advance the fire service. Its time for the fire service to give back. leets rise tot he occuasion.

Things would have been a little different if there had been a fire onboard or if the bus landed upside down in a reservoir...there are many possibilities.

Carrying flowers is done to honor departed members. Traditionally a sterling silver horn (trumpet) is used during presentation, such as in a formal ceremony or parade.
Work horns (trumpets) were brass, nickel, silver plated brass or painted tin.

When it rains it really pours doesn't it?
Seth I want to add my own humble best wishes to you and for you.
Crazy thing is, a year or two down the road somehow everything always seems to make sense. I don't know why or how that is but life always seems to work that way.
Hang in there buddy, you're a survivor I can tell.

Seth,
I don't know what to say. I want to hit the rep button but it says "like." There's nothing to like about what you have been going through. It's kind of stunning to read all of this. I'm very sorry to read that you've been through so much pain and freakin agony.
You're going to be on my mind and in my prayers.
Never give up Brother. You'll have a lot of support going forward.
God Bless.

I can't think of a more deserving preferred candidate hiring pool. Way to go!

That is fantastic! Best of luck to the new recruits. BFD has just gained some extremely well deserving "probies."
This should happen more across the country.

Yes, they did, 3 years ago, and afterward, many of the politicians (who could have ACTUALLY taken the study and DONE SOMETHING about it) stood around patting each other on the back, congratulating themselves about such a fine study they had commissioned.
