This is a place where we can sit down, put our feet up and chill. Where the Boys and Girls can just be themselves. The Back Room or what most firefighters call a ''day room or rec room'' is the social point of every firehouse.

Anthony are you related to any other FFs?

Do you think the family members get treated differently - good or bad?

So what do you do - sit 'em down and separate them? or separate them on scene?

Details - give me examples - you are holding out on me!

I'm ok with it, some of the guys have relatives on different shifts or vollies for us. I look at it this way, we are all like family anyways, we live together and do off duty activities together ....the guys on my shift are helping me move, lol ....

What types of things have you seen good or bad with working alongside family members?

Any experiences you can share from your dept - or other depts?

Any idea where I could find information/written/articles on this subject?

I hear CA is cracking down on this matter and forbidding family members to work alongside each other.

And how are you this evening?

What about management of them?

Does it change the work of the officers?

i.e. family drama at FD ... or on scene...
