The lids of the Southside F.O.OL.S. We’re lucky to have such a wide array of experience from all over.

Favorite photo from one of this weekend's training and one that captures the essence of Mac-a-Palooza.

Good luck heading into this week.

Another successful Mac-a-Palooza down. Each year we learn, grow, and improve- and do that by following our friend and mentor Chief John P. "Mac" McCastland's advice:

"Do something bigger than yourself. Now and forever." Words to live by. Words to train by.

Thank you to all involved. More pictures to come.
