| Comments: | My father was a Jacksonville fire fighter for many years , I was very proud of him and Jacksonville firemen . Recently I had a visit to the firemen's museum , I was some what disappointed in the condition of the building . I saw water damage to the ceiling and possible termite damage to the building . I was under the impression that there was no funding to maintain this treasured relic .I could not nor do I want to believe that there is not enough funding in Jacksonville to preserve this Great History we have . I recently read that the sports complex was to receive 1.2 million dollars for a new high definition sign that could possibly bring in big name leagues , are you telling me that on any given night , day , time , minute , there is a fire fighter , a rescue waiting to jump to save a life , a child , a person and we can't remember them by having a museum that honors there efforts in Jacksonville history , but you can buy a 1.2 million dollar sign ? Preserve the history of this great town and honor those who not only gave there lives , but for those who would and will for others .Treasure our history .

| Comments: | Linda,
Your site here is wonderful , however that picture listed to be my grandad (George E Hare) still perplexes me and as much as I am told he didnt like having his picture made I am almost confident he would prefer one that resembled him as much as I would on your site. If I can help in any way my original offer of help is still available. Best regards, Gene Hare |

| Comments: | The museum is a great place. The JFRD holds a special place in my heart. My grandfather was Phelmer Barber who served on the JFRD for 20 years and retired in the 1960's. He passed away 2 years ago at age 96 and up to that point was Jacksonville's oldest living retired firefighter.
My father was Ernest Brown who joined the department in 1950 and retired in 1972. He served at stations 17 and station 15 and in the fire marshal's office. My dad passed away this past May. He and my grandfather both helped fight the Roosevelt Hotel fire. They were both very much part of the fire history of Jacksonville and I miss them greatly. Thank you for doing such a wonderful job of preserving the memories of this great fire department. |

| Comments: | I was in Jacksonville on 3/12/09 from Huntsville, Al. and my brothers and I visited (one a retired JSO Police Officer) and this is a very well maintained and thought out museum. The lady, FF that runs it takes a whole lot of pride in what she is doing and I was very glad that we decided to make a visit to the museum, she made it a great visit. Thanks a lot from Huntsville, Al. |

| Comments: | Good job creating the fire dept museum. As a young, impressionable 18 year old, I started my 27 year fire dept career as a Jax. volunteer at sta 20 and 28 in 1973-74. The leadership and guidance provided by firefighter Whimpi Pringle and Capt Wright inspired me to a wonderful life. Viewing the fd museum revived some of those memories. God speed and keep taking those pictures! |

| Comments: | Hellow friends, my father was a avid metal detector for 20 years, he passed in 2003, I am his son he left me all his diggings in those diggings which a big majority was done at "the dig", which was a place where a lot of the burnt stuff from Jacksonville's fire of 1901 was, I have made several inquires via telephone to find out who was the fireman with the badge number 117, and if he has family and do they want his badge because he might have died in the line of duty of something, thank you for any help.

Everyone was wonderful to me and I cherish the memories.We started our own rescue in my hometown and I am very proud of it.I am going to write you.I would love a picture of the modular rescue of circa 1978 and Jacksonville Memorial.I blew out my aortic valve 2 years ago while doing a code on a young lady polytrauma but she made it now I am the fuckee and not the fucker,being a patient ain't all it is cracked up to be.The head of our regional trauma unit is docteur Marcel Martin,he can do a bowel resection while eating a sandwich and wathching a football game ,he is proud to be a Jacksonville alum.God bless you all and don't forget to order grits for breakfast.Jean-Charles |

In 2 weeks a group of 10 Fire Observers will be leaving for Oakland, CA. They're our host for a new training period and ride alongs. I've created a webblog so everybody can follow the prep's and their adventures. Check it out on http://oakland2006.skynetblogs.be Take care! |
