- My husband is a Police Officer. A friend of ours who also
- works with my husband, has a daughter who was quite taken
- with my being a fire"lady" (Firefighter <g>). It was such
- a positive experience for me having this little girl
- "idolize" me. She would visit me at the firehouse, sit in
- the rigs with my helmet on <smile>. Thanks for reminding
- me of it! One year for Christmas, I conned an old helmet
- (one of the real old metal ones ugh!) from the supply
- officer, had it all painted and made a helmet shield for
- her. We made her an honorary member of my shift. I think we
- all had a great time with it <g>. I was transferred a
- short while later to our Rescue Unit, being extremely busy
- there, I didn't have time for her visits, and then she
- became interested in "boys". Our special bond still
- exists, but has outgrown the boundaries :) I'm sure it
- will be something for us both to look back at with fond
- memories.
-
- Please pass the info on to the Firefighters also,
- regarding WFS. If they have any questions, they could
- contact WFS directly, or myself. I'd be more than happy to
- answer any questions or assist in any way.
