[Mandelon]

No boat right now and I don't think Creams is gonna work. He might get struck down. :rolleyes:

Exactly, when he's on scene he needs to take down a lot of info, which he needs to put into his report.

Earmuffs!!!!!
Because all his fireman are gonna be bitchin' at him about the little stuff...

Doesn't the Captain roll on all of the calls?

I got gas next to you in Parker by the dam on friday. Very nice boat!!

[little rowe boat]

Yes, and while he is on scene he will need to gather certain info. for his report.

http://www.***boat.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=13426&stc=1 I have one that needs to be cleaned up , they look nice polished and it sorta fits with his job, nice for the office....You can find them pretty cheap on ebay.

[essexjet]

A nice box of cigars to have with his new crew

[clownpuncher]

Some good ideas posted. Like Littleroweboat says, he'll be doing lots more paper work now. I nice pen set and one of the aluminum Posse Boxes is a good idea. You can get it at a uniform shop or on the internet.
I've always liked this idea......You can get him an ax, chromed head if you like, and have little brass plates that mount onto the handle. Kind of like a log of his fire career
The first plate can read his name and hire date. For example " Fire Fighter Joe Smith, Orange County Fire Authority, hired August 25th, 1984"
The next brass plate can read "Joe Smith, Promoted to Fire Engineer, January 10th, 1989". Keep this going for all his promotions and/or significant milestones in the fire service.
Just leave enough room on the handle for the final brass plate for his retirement date.
Good luck.

Don't get the gas! You might get a "Waste of Finite" ticket in AZ like I did a couple weeks ago.

Roxysnow is a firefighter, lets ask him

[slingingsmoke]

a box of cigars was mentioned above, good idea, however if he smokes 'em w/ his crew they'll be gone for ever..
a great gift would be a knife. We use knives every day. Nothing tooooo fancy, just a hard core knife.

Come on baby! Just because it looks like a hose and get's you all wet doesn't mean I'm a fireman! :eek: How about something he should be good at...maybe a nice detail kit.

[LHC Kirby]

Get a nice Cross Pen/Pencil set and have his name engraved on it. or the Fire Extinguisherwould be really nice too, a lot of antigues stores have them for okay prices 30-75 based on condition
