The 2009 IAFFC convention held in conjunction with the New Jersey Fireman's Convention was FANTASTIC! Are Foam hat's off to the Five Mile Beach Fireman's Association for another incredible weekend! You guys are the best! The parade went off without a hitch, the weather was perfect and the crowds huge! Could not have been better. This year the 132nd Firefighters News which is the official publication for the New Jersey convention took in a little bit of the Chiefs. Cape May Herald reporter Jim Vanore caught up with the Chiefs a few weeks back and did a fantastic story on the Chiefs and how we were founded. Nice job Jim, WE LOVED IT! People from all over were stopping by for pictures, war stories and a cold one. A special welcome to Chief Rick Monyahan, who heads up our Pacific North West. Rick ( BAT 49) flew all the way in from Alaska (boy are his arm's sore) just to party with the boy's at Fake Fire Headquarters. Great to see him. Rick also took some great pictures that we will be posting shortly. Everyone had a blast! Foam hat's off to Five Mile Beach Boy's and the Wildwood's communities for a fantastic week at the beach! We can not wait until next year !
