I thought I would take some pics of some things I would miss about the fire station and about being a firefighter. The uncomfortable recliners? The interrupted movies? The 3 am snot-slingers? I couldn't think of a whole lot I would miss here except for my crew. I never shared a college dorm with room mates so I did gain an appreciation for the male comradery that came along with the shift work. I will miss the guys. Also engine 6 was my first truck I drove as an engineer. Coincidentally it was just retired to rest at this very station with me. I guess ill miss old engine 6. I still say its the best truck we have.. rides like a Bitch but it rarely ran out of water... 1250 gallons can put out lots of fire. Besides its a Pierce which any fireman knows is a much better truck than our newer smooth driving E Ones. I've always said the Pierce was like having a vintage Mercedes rather than a brand new Dodge sedan. It's the only truck that still has the original door handles. Quality. Well its 8:30 pm and nearing my last night at the station. I hope to God we don't have a fire. I hope we all get a good nights rest... the entire department, the entire city, and all my friends, fans and family. Love you all. Captain Aubrey Holman... signing off.
