Small towns

[Raptor5191]

Hey all...

Well, I could not stay away any longer.

I am self sponsoring and going back through an academy here in DFW, currently in week 2.

I would like to go to a smaller agency and be a great asset for the next 20 years or so. I have some good experience to offer form SoCal back in the day, and the fire is pretty strong inside. Great physical condition, etc.

So, anyone want to recommend some smaller agencies here in the metroplex that you know would be interested in a guy like me? they can be outside the metroplex as long as it is not more than a 1 hr commute from the metroplex proper.

What do you consider small?

100 or less..sounds about right.

Mansfield is a great department to work for. Its growing, good equipment, good pay and a great administration!

Wow, you guys are giving me some great "heads ups". Keep em coming! Do you mind if I PM some specific questions to any of you on the reccomendations you have given me?

I will go ahead and suggest DeSoto. Good department and good Chief.

+1 to all of those the others posted. Corinth, Coppell, Allen, Little Elm, and The Colony are some other pretty good ones too. I hear Weatherford is also nice.

Yeah, but they got this one Sgt over there... I'm convinced he's crazy... You know the red headed one from the sticks
