Thank You Tom and Bill, great interview.
Tom you and many of those you mentioned in the interview were great partners with Los Angeles County Fire. I am a of firm believer that there is no greater corporation and teamwork in the all the country than that of LAC and ANG. We could mention many but lets just say you Tom were part of building the partnership that still exists today.
Thanks for the memories.
