Dad has 29 yrs in- 15 as 1st or 2nd assistant, 7 as chief.

Our Fire/Rescue and ambulance are run as two seperate services. Because we are rural, our Ambulance covers 5 fire districts.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
