Hi, My name is Phill Jolley. I am Ms. Whites’ Dad. Just wanted to drop by and say hello to all of you, including Ms. White. And, offer to answer any questions that any of you may have in reference to becoming a firefighter, the fire service or anything else you think I may can help with. Please feel free to visit my fire department website.
www.pbfd.com Thanks
Hey! Your dad is cool. Has he always been a firefighter? I think that would be neat but really scary! You would have to go into fires!!!!!! I think that would be a very heroic (does that make scence) job, but I dont think that I could ever do it!
bibi Il see you in fith period!!!!!! :>)
Hey thats pretty cool to be a fire fighter. How long has he been one? I would be pretty scared to be one. Hope he’s safe!!!

Hey Mr. Jolley… is that his name??????
Wait! I just now read that and I didnt mean for it to seam mean because it sounds rude the way I said it. I just said that because I knew that your last name before you got married was Jolly because you were a student teacher for me in third grade. But woops sorry I didnt mean for ot to sound mean.
BiBi Il see yo in 5th period
IT must be a lot of work to be a firemen I wonder how he manages. It must be hard at night.
Hi! My name is Hannah,and I am in Miss White’s third period. I just wanted to know if you are ever afraid to go into a house that is on fire? Because if I was a firefighter, I would not be afraid to go inside one b/c people are in there and I would need to get them out!!!
bye!!!!!
Thanks for the comments and questions guys. I’ll try to answer and comment for you. I have been around the fire department since I was 11 years old. My Boy Scout troop was hosted by the North Spartanburg Fire Department. So that’s where my interest started. I joined the FD as a Jr. Firefighter when I was 15 and have been involved ever since.
As far as being scary, yes, it can be at times. However, our training prepares us for most of the things we do and we deal with them every day. The job of a firefighter is one about helping people who are sick, injured or some way in need. That’s the part of the job that I like best, helping people. There are few things more rewarding in life than being able to do that.
Alphy, it is hard work. And at times the work can be repetative, but the good times certainly make up for the bad.
Ally, no offense taken. I’m sure Ms. White is OK with that as well. I would prefer that you just say, Phill. or as the guys here; Chief. ( Don’t worry I slip up and call her by that name,too.)
Cole, I have been a firefighter for 37 years. 3 as a Jr.Firefighter, 10 as a volunteer firefighter the rest as a paid firefighter. I have been Chief here at Pelham for 18 years.
Hope this answers the questions guys.
Heyyyy!!! It’s probably an honor to know that you helped save someones life!!!!! Like Allyson said, it’s a very heroic job!!!!! I would be afraid ti do it, but I guess your used to it!!!! I hope you stay safe!!!!!!!!!
thats cool that your dad is a firefighter… my daddy works at BMW so he doesn’t save anyones life he just makes cars. i have a question for ur dad…………………………….. what is the scariest fire you have ever been in and who were the people you rescued?! was everyone ok??
