WikiProject Firefighting!
Hey Vami IV! I'm attempting to revive the WikiProjects on firefighting under one united WikiProject Firefighting, and after seeing your recent GA, I was wondering if you'd be willing to join? No hard feelings if not, and you wouldn't be obligated to do anything, it more than anything would just show support for this side of Wikipedia, and it's completely optional. Thank you again for your contributions, and cheers!  Johnson  524  01:49, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
