FireHouse Expo 2006....NEXT PAGE

There were visitors from all over the world at this years FireHouse Expo in San Diego. A few of my favorite moments of the show... meeting the lovely Lesia Cartelli, the Director of the Orange County Burn Association, and also, talking with Lt. Doug Sloan retired from the FDNY, pictured below.

It was great to see many of my former colleagues such as Mike McFadden from the Carlsbad Fire Dept. Rick Rod, John Pringle and Tom Anglim from Rural/Metro, Frank Battaglia and Dave Rickards from El Cajon Fire. Daryn Drum from San Miguel Fire. Brian Hayward from Lemon Grove Fire, Vince Tosches and crew from Huntington Beach Fire, paramedic Paul Maxwell, and Paramedic Instructor Rick Delaney. It was so nice to see you all again.

Fire Etc.. (Thank you Dave Duea) sponsered a fabulous party at the FireHouse Museum where Patrone tequila and cigar smoking firemen flowed out the door into Columbia Street like a river. It was a great night. NEXT PAGE
