Firefighter Exchange
If you "Google" the term "firefighter exchange" you will come up to several links related to a program much like a foreign exchange student in high school. There is an International Firefighter Fellowship which is based in Australia and provides for Firefighters from Down-Under swap job and housing with another firefighter across the seas for a year. This allows the firefighters to learn different aspects of the job from a different perspective all while keeping their job at home.
The City of Toronto Fire Department has a similar firefighter exchange program.
Has anyone out there known a firefighter who has participated in a program like this. I would like to know more about it.

A few years ago, several Roanoke firefighters went to New York to teach them how to fight fire.
nobody wants to swap with you rhett
I was thinking that maybe I could exchange with someone from Ladder 1 or wherever. Just for a year.
Also, some of our finests went to Kentland, MD to mentor them in the arts of firefighting and to foster goodwill. We will forever to grateful to them for that.
