Hey guys, on a non-fire related note, Fish is in town on leave. He stopped by 10 yesterday and said things are going good and he'll be here for another few days. I think he is going to stop by a few more stations before he goes back to Iraq.

Sorry Rhett, meant to say that the working companies were E8 & M1 (not M2).

I heard that everyone in training got a 10% raise. Is there any truth to this?

Not 10% but they did get an extra 5% to make up for losing there FLSA $$. Good to see there BC looking out for them.
