MIght as well be family

Description

This is for everyone who spends the majority of their time at the fire station, spends more time with fellow firefighters than your actual family, or are so close with each other at the station that you might as well be family.

Late nights?

So how many out there can say that they've have spent a night (or more), being a volunteer not on duty, at the station? Or have spent at least 24 hours straight with people from the fire department? How many have taken about a third o their company out of service by having a party together? or how many can say that they've watched the sun come up with some of the guys, having no calls that night? That's why I love my guys, they are my second family, aside from the fact that my whole immediate family, (except my mom), are firefighters.

Please share your stories. I'd love to hear them =)

    At our department we will sit out front on plastic chairs all night and talk. The brotherhood at my department is great. We have the Fourth of July every year and all of our fire department is there. I love being around the guys on my fire department. Going to Waffle House because its the only restaurant that can outlast us. Its great sitting there telling stories.

    Every so often on one of our meeting/training nights, we'll grill steaks or fry seafood and just be a group of brothers & sisters instead of discussing building construction, how to pack a crosslay, or pre-planning a building. It's really cool to put the fire-related stuff aside for a few hours and just enjoy the fellowship.
