any firefighters

so true

 

Tacooon, congrats on entering the fire service. It's a great decision, and I hope you can make a career out of it. Cops like to throw out phrases like hose monkey, but that's just 'cause they're jealous that they got issued a gun and vest, and we got issued a blanket and pillow

Now, do yourself (and the fire service) a favor, and take it easy on the whole stickering the shit out of your vehicle and wearing a department t-shirt everywhere(especially the bar) (unless you can steal a rival department's t-shirt and cause some mayhem while wearing it).

Many of the departments in the chicagoland area have gone over to firefighter/paramedics. Most places, you can't even test without possessing your medic license, so we don't see much of the firefighter - paramedic rivalry.

 

I work for Louisville fire department in ky. Paid. I have socks trd bedside fire badge and catch a bunch of sh$& for it but I don't care. However, Even I make fun of the guys with lights and sirens on there 85 corollas. Lol. Best job In the world.

 

im a firefighter. currently working on my emt basic. glad to see we have some many firefighters on here!

congrats on your volunteer. and yes, the medics will give us all kinds of shit. so do the police...

 

Hey its allgood we got all got tacos so were all chillin

 

Have you given thought of being a paramedic. I heard those guys get bank

 

Vollie FF Paid Police Officer Because u cant be a vollie cop.

 

yeh i have. i want to get basic and get used to it all first, then go on to paramedic.

 

^Smart man. Good EMT's make good paramedics.

Shitty EMT's make shitty Paramedics. I always cringe when people finish their EMT's and apply immediately to get into their paramedics.

 

Before I got on the PD I used to go on this site( Im not smart enough to make turn blue and take right there) Fire employment.com Its a pay site last time I think it was like 4bucks a month they had really good info on whos hiring across the country and over seas. Good luck

 

its a rewarding job, stick with it... As for the cops, they are just jealous because half of them are over weight and outta shape... haha

Respect to all Emt /medics/ cops etc everyones got to work together to get the job done right?

 

Pretty much. Hmm, that gives me an idea.

 

There you go bitches

Thanks to TcBob for making it happen.

Go to control panel - edit details - Civil or military service at the very bottom - EMS, Fire or Law enforcement

 

SWEET! thanks bob!

 

Someone say something about tree hugging?

 

i attached several photos 1 is a structure we fought at 2 am and i got to take pics after i got my guys off duty and truck back in service 2 are what we saw coming out of the station for huge grass and brush fire at wildlife ranch some 80+ acres burnt and the other 2 are of my mask after a boat fire i crystallized the mask!!!! by the way to the guy whos workin on his emt i deffinantely am glad you are going to go get some exp before you go for paramedic i have had my basic for 2 years and i still miss things i should know sometimes but im going after my medic next fall hope yall like these pics!!!!!

 

in the 4 pic there is a clean mask and the one i crystallized

 

holy crap that mask is crazy!

thanks! yeh ive seen quite a few guys (one being my friend) that graduated with me go and hardly go out on any runs and turn around and take paramedic and flunk out. i plan on at least 3-4 years of basic experience before i plan on doing paramedic.

 

this is for everyone what would you choose wild land firefighting or structure fire

 

I'm in my 22nd year, best job in the world.
