Where is everyone #5

Love them cab over fire trucks almost as much as the old La Frances.

 

I always wanted to work at least 16 hours a day for a few days and then relax at home. Shoot, before the change in HOS rules we could legally do 16 hours in 24 most days....until the danged 70 hour in 8 days caught up with you.

 

Moose — how many hours did you work a day when you were on WESTPAC?? That was for the government right?? Asking for a friend.

Hutchinson Fire Department Raises $72,433.93 During Area School Drive

Hutchinson, KS – Hutchinson Fire Department (HFD) raises a record $72,433.93 for back to school supply drive! In just its third year, it more than tripled last year’s total of $23,500. HFD wants to thank the great citizens of Hutchinson and the surrounding area for coming out and supporting HFD in this great cause for our children. Supplies will be distributed the week of August 12 to over twenty-four schools in Reno County that include USD 308, 309, 313, private schools, and alternative learning schools.

“We are overwhelmed by the response from our community,” said Fire Chief Steve Beer. “This is one thing that the HFD can do to give back to our community. This is much bigger than us as firefighters, this is about the future of our children and getting them off to a great start in learning” Beer added. The countless extra volunteer hours of off duty firefighters, their families, friends, and area teachers were key is making this come together, manning doors, and sorting supplies. HFD is proud of our program with area schools.

HFD’s back to school program is led by the Fire Prevention and Education Division of the department. A team consisting of Fire Marshal Tony Arpin, Inspector Mike Cain, Administrative Staff Aide Karrlita Fortna, school teachers Jennifer Winters and Jenny Mencl formulate a game plan. HFD’s back to school program is partnered with school teachers at each area school. Every spring, area principals are emailed a list of essential school supplies for the upcoming year. They list the supplies needed and the quantities that they need. Forms are then emailed back to HFD to start the process in motion. Entrance doors at school supply outlet stores in Hutchinson are manned for local donations. Supplies are then sorted, boxed, and taken to the schools where these requests can be utilized by the teachers. Teachers distribute as needs occur.

The Hutchinson Fire Department would like to thank our sponsors this year. Allen Samuels Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram of Hutchinson and Kroger Accounting Department for their commitment to the future of our children and helping make this a huge success for Hutchinson and Reno County children.

 

Don't worry about it ...just send some out free of charge...if you ever drag your ### back up this way buy me a beer.

 

Oh a open top La France, keep the low and high side boxes but frame it in to haul your hot rod or bikes in the middle. Stow your gear in the boxes and role. Well might wanna make a top for traveling.

 

Heck yeah!! I like it! If ya have enough I would love one! Not sure how much advertising in the mid Atlantic would help ya' but it would certainly help identify me to other #5ers and lurkers!

 

Fricking Canadians. Always one toque over the line Sweet Jesus !

( sorry. Couldn't help it. Been saving that pun for twenty years. It had to come out. )

 

In general I agree with what you said, but my stance is with JamesMack. The one thing I disagree with is elogs were brought about not because everybody was running multiple log books. I have never ran more than one log book, but I have backed them up more than once, and will do it again if I have to. Elogs came into being because of the morons we have coming into the industry that couldn't fill out a log book the right way if they had to. Same with automatics, but that's another issue.
