[Engineer 101]

Volunteer Fire Fighter

Good Evening Fellow Fire Fighters

I am the Engineer for our Volunteer Fire Company (Station 101). We cover a small community in NE Pennsylvania, population 950.

We have a 2006 Engine, a 2008 2500 gallon Pumper Tanker we just got with a federal grant, a 1985 4 door GMC Suad/ Rescue, a 1980 Chevy Brush Truck and to my disappointment just had to sell my pride and joy, a 1969 M35A2 (2*1/2 Tone) Military Brush Tanker.

We average about 75 calls a year

have you guys seen the helmet version where its a helmet of you choosing and then has the 091101 on the bottom rocker and the numbers where it would show what engine or ladder comp you would be in it shows 343 instead.
