Good afternoon from the Jumpseat. Today I am writing a post conference wrap up
from FDIC 2012 reflecting on the blessings that I have received in my
life. First, and foremost, is the loving
support of a wonderful family. My wife
has supported me in all my adventures more than anyone could ever
understand. She is my rock and English
translator…..
While in Indianapolis I had the opportunity to meet some of the “Icon’s” of the fire service. As I found myself talking to the folks that write the text books, I couldn’t help but reflect on the journey to this point. From a snot-nosed new firefighter showing up at the 24 house to a guy given a chance to meet these leaders I feel humbled beyond belief. Knowing that you, the reader, take time to read the “views”is an even larger honor and privilege.
As the views from the jumpseat continue to grow I have no idea where this new journey will lead. I will always be thankful to my mentors and leaders who brought me into the fire service community. I would like to send a HUGE shout out to the station 24 members today and wish them continued safety for the future. I will always stand proud to say that I started with the boys from 24…..
245 Enroute to a bright Future..

We, firefighters, have a very strange life. Normal people doing a job we love. Yet once in a while we get to travel and see the world, meeting others that are just like ourselves. Their is this passion that we share, a common bond, the essence of the brotherhood. We know each others expiriences, because we have lived them oursleves. But at the end of the day its about our own crew and our own family. We are just everyday people. Good reflection on FDIC and how important home is.
Keep up the work, stay jump seat ready! -huston
