Hello from Mission Raceway E-Crew

[racerrescuebc]

Hello all, I am a new member to Firehall.com. I am a member of the E-Crew for the Mission Raceway park in Mission, BC. We are a group of volunteer firefighters and EMT's with a passion for racing.

Great to be here and chat with you all!!!!

Cheers

[firechixrock]

Hey there hows it going I'm new here also so I thought that I would say hi!! how long have you been FF??

[racerrescuebc]

Hey firechix!!
I have been a volunteer FF for about 5 years off and on. My current role as a E-Crew member is very different from structural FF'ing because it is all complicated vehicle extrications and when a driver is injured, it is usually pretty serious.

Where are you?

:p

[firechixrock]

Hey! I am up in Powell River. My favorite part of the job is vehical ext.! have you guys tryed the new Kippercan (sp?) extracation technique yet?? it is a way to avoid all side and curtain air bags. we have done it at paractice a couple of times we haven't perfected it yet but it is about 4min start to finish and you have full access to all passengers.

Hey firechixrock

Kippercan (sp?) extracation technique???

Thanx,

Lets be safe out there!!

[racerrescuebc]

[firechixrock]

[racerrescuebc]

I moved away in 1995 the spring after I graduated, I'm all married and my wife and I are expecting our first child this November. We are planning to go to the 10 year reunion. You actually might have known either my brother or sister. My name is Chris Reimer and my brother is Ben Reimer and my sister is Kim Reimer.

[firechixrock]

Chris

P.S. I am SO excited about being a dad, it's not even funny!!:D

[racerrescuebc]

I met my wife in Boston Bar, which is where I moved away to after PR and where I also started FF'ing. Little rural department, 100% Vollie and lots of MVA's and brush fires, with a few fires at the local lumber mill thrown in for a little excitement!!! lol

[wilderness]

Dad to be!!
Nothing could have made my life as complete as my wife and kids You will enjoy every moment, My kids are 6 and 3 just the right amount of time between them, the things they say and do will have you laughing for years to come, a didgital camera is a must or a video for sure. i wish you and your better half the best.........
ooh yea when you go and give her you hand to hang on to make sure its two fingers and not your thumb, you could find yourself thinking she is driving a stick shift....

[firechixrock]

yeah no kidding 2 fingers are good cause it is better for her to squeeze....and also don't take anything seriously she says....oh and also it is really easy to steal a little laughing gass when the nurses aren't looking!! :)
do you know what you are having?

[racerrescuebc]

Not a clue what we're having and glad to have it that way. It's not so important cuz this is our first kid and we are just wanting it to be happy and healthy.

[wilderness]

Well have you any news on the exspecting?
keep us posted, and if its a boy and you see his hose popping up, back off 500 ft. or your going to get wet..... lmao.....

[racerrescuebc]

Hey all!!
My daughter, Cassidy Jean was born on Nov 16th, 2004 at 9:50 AM weighing in at a healthy 8lbs, 6oz. Mom and baby are doing great!!

[iamvff]

CONGRATS,

get all the sleep you can now:D

Be Safe,
Iamvff

[racerrescuebc]

Sleep??? What's that??

[iamvff]

I was told that it is something that happens before kids being born and after kids move out. My kids are 15-13-11 so I haven't quite reached that stage yet. Soon I hope....Soon.... I really hope :(

Be safe,
iamvff;)

[Skidz]

Hay are you guys in PR still slappin salmon? I grew up in Vic, and had a bunch of friends from PR. but lost track of them when I moved to the flat lands of Manitoba. Good people up there!!
Congrats on the baby. Knew a few of the old timers that used to race at Mission.

[wilderness]

congrats and enjoy, it only gets better till there 13

[fireemsmom]

Does it go downhill from 13?

I only ask because I'm a single mom of a 4 year old... and it seems like the world should just end some days! LOL...

Tell me it gets better!!!!

[wilderness]

We have two kids the oldest is my daughter at 6 years and my son is 3years now they talk about terrible two's ha how about the three's....... there is days i wonder why we had kids..... its a test i think........ no with girls they are good, but at thirteen the boys will be lined a the door like stray cats asking her to come out and play...... agggggggggggggg i hope the next 7 don't go as fast as the first 6

[bcfire]

MY OLDEST IS 17, NEXT 15 , NEXT 5, NEXT 2. THE HIGH MAINTENANCE ONE IS 17. BOTH HAVE BOYFRIENDS. I AM PAYING FOR MY PAST DIGRESSIONS I GUESS. THE OLD MAN IS SUPER CONSERATIVE (I TRY) BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE TO COUNT ON MOM TO KEEP THEM ON THE STRAIGHT AND NARROW. THEY HAVE NO INTEREST IN WHAT I HAVE TO SAY, ITS TOUGH TO HAVE TO BITE YOUR TONGUE TO KEEP PEACE. REMINDS ME OF MY FATHER'S WOES WITH MY OLDER SISTER. THEY ARE THE BEST OF FRIENDS TODAY. I CAN ONLY HOPE.
TAKE CARE, BCFIRE
