“One evening after dark I had to chase down a suspect who had a knife. Once I caught him and tackled him to the ground I could not find my microphone. It had fallen off my uniform and was in between me and the suspect making it impossible to radio my position.” From this incident the TMK mic keeper was born.

A friend of mine sent me some pics recently of the local fire and the one that I have attached really stood out when I was looking at them. I can not even imagine being these two firefighters and facing this kind of a scene over and over again. I wanted to take a moment of time to say Thank You to not only the Fire fighters, Cal Fire, Police, Sheriffs and etc.. Thank you for putting your life on the line to protect not only life, but property. I do not know how you do it, but thank you!!!!
