NCFMA: Castroville Meeting Update
Past MeetingsThe meeting at Castroville went well. Excellent round-table discussions regarding Weight laws and associated issues. District Joe Pastore’s professional cake designer wife presented us with two specially designed NCFMA cakes for meal dessert. Chief Joe Rosa, North County FPD (retired), cooked up his specialty Artichoke Stew for the meal and the Firefighters prepared an excellent steak meal.
Tony Bulygo will be presenting the latest information on the weight and length laws at the SCFMA meeting next Tuesday, October 20 at the LAFD shops.
