Bucket List Department: Boston Hands Down. Though I think it is impossible to narrow down a bucket list of dinner guests. This job is a fluid shapeless mass that transcends so many new and different avenues everyday that it is impossible to try and tap into just any four resources. The resources that we reach out to need to be just as adaptive as our response to everydays new incidents. I feel that everyone's bucket list, should really be an expansive network of individuals with a diverse background of experiences and knowledge that we can rely on for insight into new and uncharted situations and initiatives. No one person can cxhange the world, and when it comes to overseeing and managing the fire service, not just the fire department, one needs all the insight they can gather. Though on the "in the street" operational stuff, no one can top Tom "Tommy Truck" Brennan. The man just spoke with a clarity and vision that simply is not found these days. Mick,

Alright, I think on my bucket list are FDNY for obvious reasons, and heading back to the Station 22 of my youth, watching my Dad pull out in that 79 Crown tiller. I'd go back to 1986 at the table of Truck 22, Engine 22, Engine 222, Medic 22 and Battalion 4, inviting my Dad, Jim Page, Alan Brunacinni, Ben Franklin and Dennis Sullivan. We would discuss the role of the fire service in the next 20 years, including all hazards response, EMS and more. I'd let Jim Page discuss the importance of EMS and Alan to convince me "Customer Service" belongs in first response. Dennis Sullivan and Mr Franklin can remind us where we came from and what Tradition really is. Then Dad and I can talk about it into the night, running jobs on that old Crown. Maybe not what you were thinking, perhaps a current day house and folks who are alive, but this came into my mind. Great topic. Great topic!
