Snowy Day for B-Shifters

Almost 10" of snow made for a busy shift at work! Every call was a challenge due to the weather - packed snow and ice on the roads made travel more than a little dicey. We also found ourselves shoveling snow not just from our walkways and aprons, but from the station's roof as well.

Yesterday was also the first day for B-shift's two new probies...heck of a first shift! We'll be keeping a close eye on our two newest members and helping guide them through their probationary year. We're hopeful our probies will embrace our B-shift work ethic and sense of pride.

ALTS

Last week I had the opportunity to attend the IAFF Affiliated Leadership Training Summit (ALTS) with another one of my B-shift brothers. The seminar was great and the courses we took were first class. It was great to see so many other union brothers and sisters gathered in one place with a common goal: education. As professional firefighters it is our duty and privilege to continually grow and learn and ALTS was a great vehicle for doing just that.
