To all the firefighters out there who take great pleasure in criticizing other fire departments over staffing issues, incompetence, low wages, etc.: please rest assure that there is one person in Fayette County (me) who wants to make a true difference in my community if ever given the chance to become a rookie firefighter.

I am ready and willing to put my life on the line any day and time even if it is the burning house of those dunce firefighters who write in to The Citizen. Just say when and I will be there with bells ringing. Just look me up in the phone book.
