Hello all my name is Al and I was diagnosed with ALS in 2014, was an awful surprise but what can you do, life goes on. A little history about me, I spent 38 years with Mississauga Dept., 15 years as Captain on a Rescue truck, 5 years Captain on an Aerial truck and the rest of my career on a Pumper, 38 years I would not trade for any other job. Best job in the world.
The City of Mississauga is located just west of the City of Toronto on the province of Ontario Canada. When I first started on the department there was 58 members hence my name Firefighter58. Mississauga now has just shy of 900 members, it has become the 6th largest department in Canada. A very fast growing city.
I married the girl next door 45 years ago and we are still married, and in the same house for 43 years. One son and 2 grand kids, a boy and a girl. And that is about it.
