U guys have probably done this B4, but what r ur favorite station pranks?
I was all over the place: short-sheetin beds, shaving cream in the boots, billiard balls in helmets, saran wrap the toilets, but my favorite (it never failed to scare the hell out of 'em @ 2 AM) was with battery switches off, turn EVERYTHING on on EVERY unit. Yeah, I'm a sick, sadistic little SOB!
Haha, thats pretty good. i also work graveyard disptach and i just love to call in thoes complaints off duty. its pretty easy, just use someone else's phone and make up random stuff, like hey my neighbors dog is screwing my cat. its thoes little things that keep you going thru the 12 hrs of hell.
I LIKE STANDING WITH MY NOSE TO A DOOR(THAT OPENS AWAY FROM ME), AS THEY COME IN YOU SCREAM, AND THEY JUMP EVERY TIME. OUR CAPT. LIKES TO SCARE THE HECK OUT OF ONE OF THE AMBULANCE GUY, ANY TIME HE GETS. SO WE PUT HIM IN THE CAPT. OFFICE, WHEN HE CAME IN HE SAID BO. THE CAPT. BACKED UP AND HIT THE WALL OF THE HALLWAY. ONE THING WE DO NOT MESS WITH GEAR OR THE TRUCK .
We do this to all our new guys. We bumrush them, duct tape there hands and feet. Then we dump ice water on them. After that we put some nasty concoction ( the latest was 3 week old milk and eggs) all over them and then dump ice water on them again. I would have to say the only reason we get away with it is because the station I work at is so slow now. we used to be the busiest fire department in the AMC of the Air Force till the A-10 aircraft left. we had some guys tie a bunch of tampons onto our old station captains gear because he was always so moody. Every loop on his storm flap, and wherever they could on his helmet. We got a call that night and he was so busy trying to get all that crap off that the engineer almost hit a car at a blind intersection cause he didn't wait to get the all clear.
PASS devices in bunker boots,little bags of saurkraut tucked into gloves,shortening or lengthening suspenders on bunker pants are the only ones I know of so far.
Place a pair of gloves under the discharge of a tanker/tender. "Hey probie! Those your gloves?" As newbie bends over to pick up said gloves, open discharge. Hilarity ensues.
We have done many but perhaps one of our best is when someone is backing an ambulance into the bays you stand off to side with a metal folding chair and about halfway in throw chair onto floor and duck around corner while they jump out to see what they hit.Even better when their partner is in on it so they can scream them at same time.
