Best of luck!

 

Great fireman, fire officer and fire instructor. He is a wealth of knowledge and has taught me a ton up in Valhalla. 

 

He's is one of the good guys and they simply do not make em' like Dave Russell anymore.

I never met Dave Russell, but I was a Volunteer firefighter when his father was a Captain in the Fairfield FD. Later he became the Chief of Dept. A Great and respected guy.

 

I later learned that his son had become a firefighter in the FDNY assigned to Eng 62/Lad 32. It was an area that was really picking up in activity, so it was a good area to hang out and buff. One day I decided to stop at that firehouse to introduce myself. I wanted to tell him how I had been a young volunteer firefighter and how his father was very good to all of us. When I stopped to ask if he was working the guys told me: "Oh you mean Rambo" ? I guess he was named after that movie character.
