Ithink the guy that showed me around was Capt. Nye. Actually he was pretty cool. Some of the guys seemed like they couldn't care less that a brother FF from outa town was visiting. Most were cool though. I recetly spoke with Chief Boriskie too. I was trying to get info on the high rise fire where the Capt. had to be rescued. I plan on using the info for a MAYDAY class I am putting together.&lt;/P&gt;
