Why This Blog Exists

Someone asked me yesterday why I created this blog; it was created after much thought as many new blogs pop up on a daily basis on the internet.

I used to write articles for my fire department newsletter; priding my self on being an open-minded individual, wrote many articles on the fire service and some regarding my current fire department of which i've been a member of for over 13 years now.

From time to time my articles were edited, which while I didn't mind editing for spelling errors or sentence structure. The straw that broke the camels back came when they refused to print an article I prepared because they were afraid that it was "too controversial".

It was at this point that I vowed to create a blog for volunteers who could read my thoughts and make comments without having to worry about fire company censors deciding what people could or couldn't read.

And thus, The Pull Box was born. While we've started off slowly, I am starting to contribute articles once again on a regular basis.

I look forward to your replies to my thoughts and ideas.
