While Captain at Station 23, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada(Jim Corrigan)

My "mount" for 3 years - RescuePump 23.(Jim Corrigan)

We do get fires! That's my crew of the time demolishing a door at Main & Hawthorne a few years back.(Jim Corrigan)

Only Lieut. Corrigan could set up a "bar" outside a fire scene! This was a hard one on Laurier Ave. E. and we are getting some much-needed rest.(Jim Corrigan)

Pump 25. My former truck prior to Station 23.(Jim Corrigan)

Ladder 23, a 100' Kenworth/Thibault Skypod, gets put through it's paces.(Jim Corrigan)

Basket about 90 feet in the air and still lots of water. Nice.(Jim Corrigan)

Sometimes the job gets hairy. Me & my crew just exiting from a basement fire by the skin of our teeth that flashed on us. My suit is black from heat, not water or smoke. There's no substitute for experience on this job. It got us out in time, and unhurt.(Jim Corrigan)

"All things return." Car 20, my Ford Excursion complete with new LED light bar. I'm now running out of Station 23, my old haunt.(Jim Corrigan)

My other, unofficial "job."
Drum Sgt. of The Air Command Pipes & Drums. This takes up as much, or more time than the Fire Dept.(Jim Corrigan)

The band taken at Parliament Hill. I've seen a lot of the world traveling with this outfit.(Jim Corrigan)

As a member of the Glengarry Pipe Band from 1990 to 1997. We were highly feared on the competition circuit. There's some wild drummers in this line-up!
