Welcome lasemase, I,too am an unfortunate transplanted Masshole. Glad to be out of there.Welcome to the site, as Pump's stated, there is allot of good info here. Sorry 'bout the Masshole thing, I just couldn't catch a break in that state. Glad to have you on the site.
On a side note, walked into the package store in Webster Square one afternoon, only to be confronted with a 4" Smith in my face & ordered to hit the floor. What started out as a 20 minute ride home, turned into hour's of interogation from the Worc. P.D. Confused

By the way lasemase we in the fire service have not forgotten those men who gave all there in the warehouse fire in 1999. We also lost a great friend and firefighter that same month here.
