This was a great opportunity. Thanks to all who worked to bring Fire Opps 101 to Middletown. I learned much. And, a special thanks to firefighter Brian France who was my shadow-you were great, patient and polite. I know you may not believe this, I think I'd do it again. To all the firefighters-you do fabulous work under incredibly stressful conditions. I salute you all for your public service!
