Updating the site!!!

in the last comment from Mr. Tax payer...
Bristol Firefighters.com is designed to showcase the Officers and Firefighters at Bristol Virginia and Tennessee Fire Departments. This Blog and the Views Expressed Do not reflect the views of the Bristol Fire Department or Local 2499 of the IAFF. All views are expressed by the Webmaster and Visitors.

Translation I own this domain and this site! Not either city or firefighters union!

I maintain this site as time allows! I do not update it on city time I only update it when I get a chance.

I truly am glad that you the taxpayers look at this site it truly honors me to know that tax paying citizens look at this site!

In reference to the Official Site for the two cities.....Bristol Tennessee's site is awesome they have done a really good job! Bristol Virginia's site has just been put online! I actually did that site as well bit the city has to approve all of the content on it before it is posted!

Now to the real reason why this site has not been updated as much as I would like well here goes....

I am a Husband first and a dad second. During my time off I spend with them and I just don't get around to updating the site I am sorry but that is the truth. I have also written and posted things on many other sites example www.vafirenews.com, www.VentEnterSearch.com and, www.Southbendfire.com. I would love to have help on this site....any takers please email me the link is on the right side of the blog!

Anyway I thank you again for you comment I just wanted to clarify with everyone that this not a "City" site! It is one to showcase the firefighters and fire departments!

Thanks and feel free to leave a comment
