The Social Network & Community JUST for Firefighters
There are 2 types of firefighters in this world, REAL firefighters and OUT-STANDING firefighters.
There are 2 types of firefighters in this world, REAL firefighters and OUT-STANDING firefighters.
REAL firefighters show up to help out at the scene
OUT-STANDING firefighters show up and are OUT STANDING AROUND while the REAL firefighters do all the work
REAL firefighters do the job because they care about the community and love the job
OUT-STANDING firefighters do the job because they think the chicks dig it
REAL firefighters show up at a moments notice to ANY call because they know someone needs help
OUT-STANDING firefighters are OUT STANDING AROUND at the station drinking beer while the REAL firefighters are helping Mrs Smith who fell down the stairs again but knows she can rely on the fire department for help
REAL firefighters dont expect anything in return, although a simple thank you is all they usually like more than anything else
OUT-STANDING firefighters expect people to owe them for doing the job, and to them and thank you isnt good enough
REAL firefighters know the value of new equipment and treat it better than their own stuff
OUT-STANDING firefighters always think that it can just be replaced and dont take care of apparatus or gear
REAL firefighters take their classes so they dont get injured and can do the job well
OUT-STANDING firefighters dont need classes cuz what good are they anyway, theyre OUT STANDING AROUND
REAL firefighters are the true heroes of America but will never admit to it
OUT-STANDING firefighters run around telling people they are heroes and make ALL firefighters look the same because every department has both of these type of firefighters
Make what you want of this, repost this if you are a REAL firefighter.
If youre and OUT-STANDING firefighter, you make me sick, take the job seriously and put some effort into your department, your REAL firefighters can still save you from looking like an idiot in the eyes of your brother firefighters and the public eye

The company goes where the company is sent. I can't tell you the number of times that my company was ordered to stand-by outside and then given a load of crap from some other chief 'cause we weren't doing anything.
If a member of my company wasn't with us at our assignment, then we'd darn well go to find him or at least inquire on the radio about where he was.
I know that truck companies must often be split, but when I was a Ladder officer, I always did my best to keep track of where they were anyhow.
If a single firefighter isn't pulling his weight at a fire, the problem is at the company level, and the company officer. I should be able to walk up to any Lieutenant and ask where his men are. If I get a blank stare or a long hesitation, I just found the guys who will be loading hose for a long time. (assuming I was acting District Chief, which didn't happen too often)

"OUT-STANDING firefighters are OUT STANDING AROUND at the station drinking beer while the REAL firefighters are helping Mrs Smith who fell down the stairs again but knows she can rely on the fire department for help"
The first part of this line is a problem with a very simple solution. Abolish alcohol at fire stations. And before anyone says that it's a tradition to drink at fire stations, realize that it is not tradition to drink at fire stations everywhere. I like to drink a beer once in a while myself, but there is a time and place for enjoying a beer. A fire station is NOT the place.
As far as the second part of this goes, just keep helping "Mrs. Smith" and smile about it because you've probably birghtened that person's day.
REAL firefighters, keep up the good work!!!!!
