New to Blogging!

Hey,

I am a Fire Explorer with the Franklin Fire Dept and also a Junior Firefighter with the Lascassas Volunteer Fire Dept; both are in Tennessee. I love the job of firefighting and can't picture myself doing anything else as a career; I grew up around a firefighting family so it is in the blood. I am new to blogging and I wanted to start this blog to share my experiences in this job from an Explorers point of view and also to discuss topics relating to the job. I will also do reviews on products, books,movies,collectibles, etc. of the fire service. I was inspired by Captain Wines of the Roanoke City FD who runs the blog "Wooden Ladders and Iron Firemen", awesome blog. If you have never read his blog than you can visit it at http://http//woodenladdersandironfiremen.blogspot.com/. I give his blog a two thumbs up, I never miss a post! I was also inspired by the crews of RFD Station 9 for their blog at http://http//enginecompany9.blogspot.com/. Again, another, tremendous blog! Good Job boys! I'm gonna go ahead and admit (if you haven't already figured out), I'm a squirrel. :D hahahahaha Lmao!! Anyways, I love the job with all my heart and I don't mind being a squirrel. The name of this blog "The Fire Explorer" is because that's what I am but the second half of it: "Chasing the Dream" came from my dream to be a professional firefighter since like I was very very little. I will sit and day dream about becoming a firefighter, if I were to become a firefighter, my life, would be totally complete. So enough about that, I am hoping this blog will continue to grow. I will post as much as possible, I will defiantly post on days I work shifts in Franklin (which I have one Saturday) and when I run calls or have training with my volley dept. Well, that's it for tonight, got to hit the sack, got school tomorrow.
