This weekend Lynchburg's Local 1146 in conjuction with the Lynchburg Fire Department hosted retired Chief Rick Lasky's Pride and Ownership seminar held at CVCC. What an incredible presentation by Chief Lasky! If you haven't read his book (you should) the seminar basically covered what he writes about in his book, "Pride and Ownership". The guys from Station 1-C made a good showing on Friday, and I gotta say, if you get an opportunity to hear him speak, either at FDIC or anywhere else...GO TO IT! If you have ever lost sight of why you are in the fire service, no doubt hearing his guy will amp you up! The room was packed with foks from all over VA and a few from W.VA, and NC. This was a great time to see old friends and make new ones and hear about how and why WE ARE in the best profession in the world.
In other news, I've been on a stretch of riding the medic unit due to vacations and go-aways, so theres not too much to report on the station front. We've got a couple weeks of Tech Rescue Training ahead of us, going away to some special classes and doing some in-station stuff, so I'll be sure to post all of that as it comes.
Cya next time!
The Big House is the Lynchburg Fire Department's Station 1. Located at 801 Clay Street, we are the technical rescue station for the city. We house an Engine, Ladder, Medic, 2 USAR Trucks, 2 Zodiac boats and a Battalion Chief.
