I joined Rough and Ready VFD California in 1972 something I always wanted to do. Worked my way up to Chief. We added a Medical response unit (retired navy ambulance). Them my job changed routes to the foothill’s up highway 49 in central California. The we moved up to Sierra City Ca. Left my Granny Goose route job. Bought Bassett’s Station. Sierra City VFD needed a chief so I filled the billet. Much experience in both departments structure, wildland fires,medical calls. Sold business moved up to NE Oregon. Hired on with contract wildland fire fighting company, Contract Water Wagons and worked that for 5 years as truck boss. Then retired down to CENTRAL TEXAS. All was a love in helping people.
