May 10. We would like to take the time
to congratulate FF Ben Matthews on his successful completion of the
National Registry EMT test. Its nice to add yet another medically
trained FF to our department. Congrats, Ben, we all knew you
could do it! Well, most of us thought you might pass...
Okay, we really didn't think it would happen... But, good job
anyway!
