In anticipation of the Jordan Fire Department’s 125th anniversary earlier this month, your local newspaper has been running a sporadic series of Q&A's with Jordan firefighters.

You've read about Kevin Adamek, Jason Allen, Brian Anderson, Jonathan Brandtner, Randy Breegemann, Mike Briese, Nate Briese, Tim Draheim, Jason Guggisberg, Kenny Hayden, David Holzer, Scott Kochlin, Dale Oldenburg, Gregg Pekarna, Scott Petersen, and Jason Skorczewski.

Many of them wrote about the John Travolta movie “Ladder 49” and how realistic it seemed.

Hey all, Brandon Otte and I are at Celebrate Jordan from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. today.

We'll be embarking on our maiden voyage as a live online TV station, so check back shortly. You should see the broadcast on the front page of the Web site once we begin. 

If you're heading to Celebrate Jordan, the annual business fair in town, feel free to stop by and get in front of our camera.

Have fun!
