You could be a squirrel if: you can name 5 past of present fire chiefs but can not name 5 past or present Presidents.

MY training officer calls me squirrel. we were doing fire extinguisher training and he was talkin about old brass extingushers and i told him i have 3 of them at home and he looked at me funny, then he was talking about fire hydrants and i tod him i have one of those at home to and he said wow you really are a SQUIRREL arent you! so ever since then he has always called me that.

So there are more people out there like me? Im currently 19 & go to college in another state than where I volunteer but I still get the itch when the local station is runnin calls. Back in high school the school resource officer gave me a pass to get off campus when I had a call. He said that I might as well have an excuse for skippin. Anyone else ever do anything like that or am I too "squirrelly?"

i totally agree with that. my dept is run off a county wide dispatch and all the tone sound the same so every time a tone goes off i run for the car. or how about if you are 15 have 2 scanners and your gear by your bed and have red lights and sirens on your bike.

i tried to do that. my dept is out of town from where i go to school so i tried that for my fathers dept which is an ear shot away from my school. every time the siren goes off or the trucks go by i wish i could be on that call.
