FireFighter EMS Police
Just wondering how many fire, ems police we have that love to hike. I work for a full time dept with that has three stations. We run 3 engines and one ladder. I work on an engine.
Not sure how many firefighters are on WB but if you go down to the " home made gear" forum, you'll find a whole slew of pyromaniacs.Originally Posted by SmokeEater
