Fire Critic An Unadulterated View of the Fire Service
Happy New Year from The Fleitz Family to you!
Each year it seems like everything gets busier and busier. However, each year I realize more and more what matters in life. Relationships matter. I find it amazing at the sheer number of people who I have access too…of course, sometimes I am reminded of all the people who have access to me! Not to worry, it is a good problem to have. I can assure you one thing…I will never catch up. I appreciate the relationships that have been created, the circles of friends I have become a part of, and the smiles and laughs you all share with me.
Cheers to another eventful year!
