LA County Fire- Station 8, Goes with the 9/11 Apparatus Decal
Captain Eric Kuck, a New Yorker, contacted me a few weeks ago and asked if we were
going to make a larger image of the 9/11 Patch decal for apparatus. It just so happened that the company that wrapped the FireCareers.com bus for the 9/11 Anniversary Manhattan to Manhattan Tour,
had the image as it was used to cover the front of the bus prior to the
tour. The company stepped up and created this commercial grade decal
for us in the 8.5" X 11" size. Once these were ready to go, I contacted
Eric and we met at his station. The decal was first put on their
Squad on the driver side and then all four pieces of apparatus at the station were recently fitted with the 9/11 Apparatus Decal on both sides of each vehicle. .It always takes at
least one individual to lead the charge to get this done--especially in
such a large department--so thank you Captain Kuck!The decals along with other patches, decals and full size flags are available here: 9/11 Patches-Decals
PoliceOne.com's Senior Editor, Doug Wyllie Tells 9/11 Patch Project Story to the Law Enforcement Community
When Doug called me about 3 weeks ago, I was excited to hear from him as the word of the Patch Project would soon officially reach the Law Enforcement Community. This is something I have wanted to do so long and just didn't know how a firefighter could convince cops that the project was also about them and for them! Doug did it and did it well!
Beyond the fact that Doug wrote such a great story, I really feel like I made a great new friend. PoliceOne is a great online source of news and just about everything else you can think of supporting the law enforcement community. According to Alexa.com, the online law enforcement portal is one of the top ranked websites. Thanks again Doug, for helping to get the story told!!

Firecareers.com Founder Craig Freeman Wearing the 9/11 Patch
Firecareers.com Story: In 1979 I went to work for the Los Angeles County Fire Department, working on an Air-Attack hand crew assigned to Camp 9-2. While working with 30 other young aspiring firefighters, I developed a system to contact different fire departments to get the recruitment information we needed to take firefighter tests. I became the "firefighter test information guy" in camp. After a couple of years of testing, I landed a firecareer with Oxnard Calif. Fire Dept. I started my city fire career in October 1981 and just retired March 3, 2009. Craig and his wife Pam run Firecareers so head over and check it out!
