Firefighters get in here!

I know i cant be the only one. Where I'm from, firefighters love their Tacos!

 

Yes. Yes we do.

 

love that rig! don't run me over!!

 

My Niece, Madeline

 

Air Force Fire? I went thru Goodfellow in '07

 

I still believe there’s hope for our country when I see young folks like your niece serving their community! Good for her!

 

Straight up worked on mine on duty in the apparatus bay.

 

Hawaii or gulf state?

 

Just graduated here, but definitely have always loved tacos.

 

23 years in

 

Actually out here in Guam. But I've also been at Travis Air Force Base.

 

This is me almost every shift lately

 

Volunteer here but still love my Tacoma.

 

Congratulations on graduating. What department in VA?

 

Well I don’t do structure fire, but more so the wildland scene. 11 years of prescribed fire with my agency.

 

Just wanted to thank all of you for what you do.

Never was a FF, but was a paramedic in a past life...20+ years ago. If you're full time, it can be a lot of sitting around and naturally people notice THAT part...and then the comments start. "Wish I could get paid for sitting around watching TV" or "....for working on my own truck while I'm at work"...and on and on.

But what I never heard anyone say even once was "I wish I could get paid for standing out in the rain/snow at an accident scene, watching a 16 year old take their last breath because that text was SO important and couldn't wait 5 minutes"....or...."I wish I could jump out of a 2nd story window because there was no time to even bail out correctly, and jumping and falling was the ONLY chance I had of living thru it at all"

Never heard those. Hmmmmm.



Anyway, folks, THOSE are the things that you earn every dollar for. If you sit around for 23 out of 24 hours, and spend 1 hour saving a life or a house, then it's money well spent.

Thanks to all of you.

 

Greetings from Delaware brother firefighters!

 

Somewhere in northern Va

 

Lol. Sus.

I’m Northernish VA, i.e. we still follow the NOVA manuals

 

You’re right, being asked to reveal where you specifically work is “sus”.
