    Yeah you like the title???

    Haha

    We're paid on call as well. 2 Engines, 1 Attack, 1 Brush, 1 Medic, 1 Heavy rescue, and water rescue boat. Like everyone else on volunteer depts we are jack of all trades. I like being able to see all the aspects of the fire service. Great knowledge that I'll have forever

    Nice man, the Denver metro area is a tough place to get a job. I stuck it out till I got one. Most of my buddies went else where and got hired within 6months of testing in other states all across the nation.

    Nice! Yeah, it's good to figure out what everything is like especially for the road ahead! ;) If on with a huge FD, you'd be more tied in to one particular seat on a certain apparatus. I like being able to do it all... for now! :D

    One great thing about being deployed is that when I'm bored I have plenty of time for tacoma mods to look up when i get home! New Wheels, Tonneau Cover, Tail Gate Pop and Lock, Bed lighting, and a few more I'm sure haha

    Had a fully involved house fire the other night. I went in on the nozzle and put the wet stuff on the red stuff, found the family dog, changed out a bottle, went back in on secondary, changed out a bottle, chugged a bottle of water and went right back in to check for extension. Worked my ass off on that fire for over 4 hours. . . GOD I LOVE BEING A FIREFIGHTER!!! :D
