Firefighter/EMT BS Thread!

New thread to do with firefighters and EMTs! Post pics of your rigs and tacoma's! A place for volunteers/paid to discuss and BS. Enjoy my fellow brothers and sisters! And thank you for your service.

 

Spokane huh? You been watching that big wildfire outa cle elum? Right now its less than a mile from my cabin.

 

Nice.
Here's a few pics. I'm not on the tower but it's sweet.

I'm on this truck mostly.

 

Dot know if other states have a website like this but these reporters go around and take photos of big scenes. They are actually cool media. check it out.

I just left the service after an injury and family schedules conspired against me. I miss it, but what can you do. Love the ladder- we had two engines, two tankers, two rescue box trucks plus two medical rigs and a brush truck. No need for a ladder in this area because there are no tall buildings, but some neighboring departments did. Fun stuff, but spraying a monitor off a 70' stick sure made for some swaying. Stay safe out there.

 

Love the tower! See this is exactly what i was hoping was going to be posted on here! I'd send some of mine but I'm deployed haha.

 

Yeah man, I keep checking on it. Plus I had family in Colorado that was affected by those big ass fires

 

Brighton huh? I'm from a tiny ass town up north. North of Greeley called Nunn have you heard of it?

 

Here a few pics of me doing stand by for some MMA fights posing with the ring card girls and me washing the rig. I know I look retarded but Im ok with it.

 

Love that Velocity tower!

 

My department just got a new engine two weeks ago, its pretty sweet. I'll grab a pic next time I am there

 

Great title and thread, man!
So I'm a volley/paid-on-call/part-time paid on shift firefighter that graduated from fire academy with my Associates Degree in Applied Science in Fire Suppression! I ride all apparatus within our dept (3 Engines, 1 Tender, 1 Quint, 1 Rescue, 3 Ambulances, 1 Boat) depending on what the call is! Love the lifestyle, love the job, and trying to become career!

And this is my Tacoma!

 

I know of Nunn. I farmed all through college and I went to school in Greeley. Yeah Brighton I live down
Town Denver but love working up there.

 

For one, it's a tanker jk! haha I've always liked the look of your truck, one of my favorites on here

 

Well thank you, kind sir! Tankers are planes, man! lol I love how that always gets so messed up in peoples minds when those two get mixed up over the radio! ha ha

 

lol Closest thing we have to that is a Forestry spotter plane..other than that it's all about the ground. Except for the occasional helitcopter of course

 

I'm an EMT/proby FF for Portland, MI. Not much else to say, other than, honestly, I love medicine more than fighting fires....

 

Im a career firefighter here in Greenville, MS. Served almost 2 years but been around the fire service all my life

 

Ha ha! Yeah... we use LifeFlight a lot due to all the outdoorsy stuff, which is usually a helicopter, but occasionally we get a fixed wing!

Oh yeah! We have an ARFF, too!

 

Nice I really miss that area. My dad was a volley in Nunn for 15 plus years. Tha's what got me started. I have a lot of friends from all over that area that are career firefighters now.
