Try doing a search, there are plenty of stories abound. Before asking some question like "what color is your helmet", "should you get a pager", "what to do on calls" etc...please, please use the search feature first. Keep your ears and eyes open and your mouth shut. There is a reason you have two of each and one of the other. Peruse the other jr and explorer threads out there before asking simple questions or before posting a topic. Many things have been covered before and may answer your questions without having a ton of similar threads. Good luck.

Congratulations, I'm also a Jr. Firefighter..I have been for 2 years. My dad has been on our dept. for 30 years. Without him, I wouldn't be on the dept. We are a small town fire dept. we have 35 firefighters 7 of us are paidmen. To gain respect on a fire dept, in my opinion, show up and do what you are assigned to do. Like me, I'm a pump operator on one of our engines. I go on fires when I can, in the mean time, I help wash hose, etc. Just do what you are assigned to do, and respect will fill in. Good luck.
