Pete stopped in at the local volunteer fire department today. He wants to join.
After a month of applications, reference checking and all that kind of good stuff he should find out by the beginning of July if he will be a new "Firetruck Man" (That is what Emma calls them.)
While we were waiting for him to get out of the firehouse Emma wanted to know where daddy was. So I told her that he was in talking to the firetruck man. She got all excited and wanted to know if she could see the firetrucks!
Turns out that if and when Pete is voted in he will able to let Emma come and see the firetrucks... at least that is what the chief told him today.
Someday Pete would like to possibly make a career out of this. They will provide all the training for their facilities. When the time comes he will check into making it a full time job.
He's really excited so I am keeping my fingers crossed!

How exciting! Nicholas all ready loves the firetrucks. We visit Josh about once every week or so as he works 24 on, 48 off. (As he is today.) That's one of the things about making a career of it; the schedule stinks. Across the board, paid or volunteer, he will be called out on most holidays and at dinner time. And in the middle of the night. Best wreck times/fire times. And you will worry more than you had thought possible.
My advice: when he leaves, TURN OFF THE SCANNER.
