From Kevin Haughton regarding the Federal Way job...

Kevin,
Our department web site www.federalwayfire.org will have the application and information on it by Friday the 14th.
Applications are open until Feb 1.
Any laid off IAFF applicants will not have to take the written test and will go directly to the oral board (along with 30 applicants from the Bates written test) Ultimately they will also have to pass the IAFF CPAT physical test.
Bottom line is that they are at least guaranteed an interview.
Have anyone call me too if they have questions

QUARTERMASTER SYSTEM

As many of you already know, the city now has to buy our uniforms. There are still some details to iron out (no pun intended), but your e-board members are skookum to where we stand right now. If you have any questions, ask.

Song from 1904 - The Man with the Ladder and the Hose...

Discovered this at a website that plays songs found in Thomas Edison's attic. It was recorded in 1904 by William H. Thompson onto a "gold moulded cylinder." The website address is http://wfmu.org/playlists/TE

If you want this on your MP3player so you can stairmaster to it at the station, e-mail me and I'll send you an MP3. Otherwise, just click on the link to enjoy this long forgotten song, singer and recording medium.
