Happy Anniversary to Fred & Karen Belligan

Today is Fred, our driver, & his wife, Karen's anniversary...  If you are out there reading this blog - stop in & wish them a very happy anniversary... 

These are true friends...  As Fred has been away since August 2nd, Karen has been taking care of everything at home.  She was able to reunite with Fred & the guys yesterday in Ohio...  Fred has also missed his oldest son, Jason's, birthday & while he is in New York Fred & Karen will miss their middle son, Justin's, birthday.

So, today Fred & Karen - we celebrate you & your marriage.  Thank you for being an example to all of us.

I hope the guys at least buy you a great anniversary dinner!!

Much Love -
Steph

Sandusky Ohio

Bob here from Sandusky Fire puts their patch on the door. A short visit with them and its on the road again. The two above pics are the the two station crews from Sandusky Fire. Thank you to the station 7 crew for picking up our lunch at Toft's Ice Cream Shop. This is a local favorite and it's a stone's throw from their station. Man am I glad we don't have one of these in our first-in.



For any of you following us who are not aware, nicknames are appropriate in the fire service. So the significance of this video is that Darrell's nickname is Skillet and Dave's is Chickenhawk. Yes Fred we did see and and commented on it.

A few articles...

As the guys have stopped in some local towns they have had opportunities to be interviewed by local radio, TV and newspaper stations.

I wanted to share a few that we just received & also want to say "thank you" again for all the exposure that these towns are giving us...  We will never forget Sept. 11th - where we were, what we were doing & it is our responsibility to never forget the 343 firefighters that died that day serving along with remembering their families they left behind.
