Like Lane I just joined this year and am glad to be here.
I am a career firefighter with the Sedgwick County Fire Department near Wichita ks.
I am currently Fire Marshal for the Department and I can actually relate some storm chasing to work which is great.
I have lived in the Wichita area all of my life and love being in Tornado Alley.
I actually had planned to go out and chase on the day of the Greensburg tornado and after reading the posts from this site I had my sites set on sitting in Pratt that day, fortunately I ended up not being able to go or unfortunately however you look at it.
I ended up leading a caravan of Sedgwick County and Wichita Fire Department trucks loaded with rescue people to Greensburg just after midnight the night it hit. We were there until about 1000 hours the next morning. There were a lot of reminders of the dead serious business of tornadoes all across that war torn town a great testament to not taking it lightly and being careful.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this site,,
