Hey thanks so much for posting that. I didn't think there would ever be another muster around here given what's going on around here these days. Bit of an unusual location as opposed to MATC south. But hey it should be nice and am looking forward to this.

"Slightly" smaller site than MATC South or the Safety Academy but it was great to have this once again. Still sad that this building is no longer an active station but at least it's been put to good use and who knows, it may become active again at some point time will tell. I too have a thinner money clip as a result too but certainly worth it.

There is a fellow selling two MSA vintage Air packs. I wish I would have bought one. I don't suppose anybody happens to know who he was?

Wow you put mine to shame. I didn't get there until about 11:00am When did HAZMAT show up. I left about 2:30pm but just in time to get capture the command post/communications unit. They didn't stay long after that.

Hazmat showed up about 10:15 am. Most of the MFD appearances were 45 minutes or less - you just missed them if you arrived at 11AM.

Thanks for the kind words nothing wrong with your photos there excellent I'm just happy and remember to take the lens cap off haha I think we ended up leaving a little after 12:00 when one of the displays didn't show up. We are getting hungry and other than the command post I've been to the other two station houses I have some photos not very good but some photos anyway of that equipment. I was fortunate enough at the convention last month had my name drawn to do a ride along with it battalion chief. Had an extra special treat after we toured some houses he took us to engine two quarters and they made Firehouse Pizza and got to have supper with them definitely a memorable experience! I see what's marked his truck nine must be a spare. When we were at 32's house truck 9 was a different ladder than that one. Now I've got more excuses to go back up absolutely love Milwaukee!

 

[CrabbyMilton]

Sounds like a great bonus for you.

 

[n0akf]

It sure was! Had a lot of fun at the convention for sure
