Dustin Miller

Me: "Hey Dusty, I need your Bio"

Dustin: "Dustin Miller. He works in Central Texas."

Jim Squittieri

Despite having his hands in, “a little a ‘dis a little of dat,” This greasy fist pumping New Yorker will more than likely be found (or heard) in the firehouse bay mastering the craft of the “‘da hose”. He is currently working on Engine 18 on the Westside of Charlotte, NC. Squid’s love for the fire service is matched only by his love for his family. Squid was never allowed to join a fraternity but acts out that fantasy almost daily, and does stunt double work for the Cheshire  cat, older model Mercurys, or adult only film.  There is more photographic evidence on him than any other member of the cadre, which ensures us all that “a little a dis, a little of dat,” is all above board and legal.  Though he does like gold chains and bedazzled jeans.

Josh Schmidt

Josh is a third generation firefighter in Louisville, CO since 1998 where he also serves as the unofficial mayor/minister. He pays the bills by working for South Metro Fire since 2001. He currently works at Firehouse 42 in the city of Parker, CO. After graduation from high school he followed Prince and The Revolution on multiple world tours. Josh’s devotion to the band, starting as a groupie, eventually rising to be the understudy for Doctor Fink himself, is nothing short of meteoric. In some circles it is said when Josh sat in for the “Doctor” the keyboard solos took on a certain long-windedness. After the era of Revolution, Josh found his way back into the fire service.   Josh is willing to travel anywhere for training as long as he has his pillow from home. It is unknown if his pillow has a name. While checking out his fire museum in his garage, he might let you touch his bookshelf “Melissa”.
