First off, I want to thank all those who have supported the blog’s transition from Lt Rhett Fleitz to myself. In time I hope to capture and report upon more and more news regarding working incidents along with scene photos. My apartment (here in the “peaceful” SW) was recently burglarized and among other items stolen was my $500 digital scanner, which was just recently programmed (by a brother from Bedford) to monitor City radio traffic. I am looking to rectify this as soon as possible. Please be patient brothers and sisters – I have big plans for the blog, and hope to make a progressive transition as soon as possible. Stay low, and stay safe – Nate
PS: PLEASE feel free to message me with any feedback or suggestions!

0700 tomorrow starts a day with EMS2. Plans are in place for morning chow and (hopefully) a day full of fun. I have known Don since I started in the Fire Service here in Roanoke in 1994. He’s a great friend and a phenomenal Fire/Medic. I am definitely a s**t magnet whenever we ride together… shootings, below-grade rescues, working CPR’s – you name it. EMS2 is dispatched on all “life critical” medical runs, accidents and Box Alarm’s. Hoping to catch a working Mutual-Box with the City. It’s Been a while since my clothes had that one of a kind “smell” we all love so much. Have a great weekend everyone! Here’s to a busy day with Don on the infamous “Fire SUV”!
