Let me describe myself by saying, I love what I do. I am a mom and a business owner/Firefighter. My business identifies who I am. I'm involved in the fire service industry, and mutual aid service (fire fighting assistance with CAFS) for county fire departments surrounding me. If they need us, we go! I belong to a active fire department, as a volunteer As a business owner, get paid for firefighting. I get the best of both worlds. On the business side, we help to extinguish extreme fires. The nature of these extreme fires may be industrial, landfill, mulch, hay, tire, or coal mine. // We've just successfully finished extinguishing a coal mine fire in Virginia, with foam. (Okay, I couldn't go, because of my broke ankle, but I did handle all the logistics from my bedside!) The coal mine fire started from a roof fall. The working mine was out of commission for 4 months, while we pumped foam. We pumped over 700 million gallons of finished foam. The status of the coal mine, is they've started ventillation, and are working on opening the seals. Yeah!! Let's get those coal miners working again. // Currently there are over 120 coal mine fires burning in the U.S., since before 1977. There is a reclamation fund of 7.4 billion dollars, which can be used for the extinguishment. // Read more about the greenhouse gasses in this article. I'm also mentioned in it.. (This is great information)---- http://www.nysun.com/article/58374---- // The plan is to extinguish each and every one of them.. with our new technology. // There are coal mines all over this world that need extinguishment. China, India, and a 6000 year old coal mine fire in Australia. The CO2 that is emitted from one particular coal mine fire in Centralia, PA., equalls to the emissions of all the cars in the U.S. for one year. Centralia, PA., is next! // I love my work, and can't imagine doing anything else. // I'm gonna change the world, in spite of it's self!style="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;"> >
