About Fire and The Granite 19

You all have own circumstances.  Our careers speak speak for themselves.

I feel compelled to offer a shout out to ALL smoke eaters, however you get to work.  For me, I was a fire junkie.  Drive big red trucks, kick in doors, leave a mess for someone to clean up.  I was a mere child of 20 years.  I never gave a thought to how my chosen profession affected others that loved me.  Multiple fatalities?  A family homeless?  Crack babies with bread ties on umbilical cords?  A 24 hour shift where you never get a break?  A flashover that you notice just in time to pencil the ceiling and stumble out laughing, too hot to touch?  Childs play!  Your wife and kids wondering if when you walk out to your chosen “passion”, whether or not you’ll come home? 

Rules of Fire and Life

This blog is dedicated to those who live a life of service. This is not a place for reform, politics, or policy. This place is sacred and connects men and women that have seen the elephant and the family and friends that bring them home and keep sending them back. We don’t do recipes, couponing, whining or profanity. We do second chances, love, fire, forgiveness, inspiration and family. 

We do this so that others may live…
