My most embarrasing moment would be at a basement pumpout. We hooked up a pump and I was getting ready to hook the hose to it. Well as I was bending down to do so, my partner didn't realize that the hose wasn't hooked up. He turned the pump on and I got a nice facefull of nasty basement water. It was good for a laugh. He swears it was an accident.

It wasn't embarrasing for me, but one of my ex's decided she wanted to be a firefighter with me. On a house fire one night she had to pee and couldn't hold on any longer and well let's just say her gear was wet inside and out.

yesterday cleaning hose after a big job... our firehouse is on main street so everyone drives past. after sprayed off hose, i laid the garden hose on ground and it landed on the sprayer side and so i had a rainfall of water on the driveway (and my head/hair)...never lay garden hoses down on the sprayer attachment...

The first call I ever ran was just a simple EMS--difficulty breathing. We get on scene and everything is going fine. I'm taking pt. info but my writing was all chicken scratch because my hands were shaking so bad. lol Next, were ready for transport and my lieutenant tells me to grab the other end of the cot. We roll it outside with no problem and get close to the ambulance, I had the foot end of the cot and I'm rolling this woman feet first into the rig. She looks at me and says "you gona put me in the right way???" My lieutenant starting laughing his ass off. I dont think my face could have gotten any more red.
About a year ago we were running to an MVA in our new rescue. This is the first truck we had with the built in radio headsets. (yeah you can see where this is going) We roll up on scene, I go to get out of the truck, make it about a foot, then get pulled back a few inches before my headset goes flying off and into the FF behind me.
