Hello Vami IV, and thank you for your contributions relating to firefighting! Based off of your edits, you may be interested in joining WikiProject Firefighting, which was created recently after WikiProject Fire Services and WikiProject Fire Protection combined. Adding yourself to the participants list shows you are interested or willing to help improve the coverage of firefighting and it's related topics on Wikipedia, but there is no obligation. For more information, feel free to contact me or ask a question on the project's talk page. Happy editing 🙂 Johnson524 01:49, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]

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! Johnson524 01:49, 31 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
