About Me:
Well my name is Aaron Robbins and i am so thankful to have the best girl friend in the whole world named Kristina she is also a FF. I hang out with a lot of the guys and girls from the station and iam a senior in high school and cant wait till i get my dream job.
HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE FFN . FEEL FREE TO ADD ME AS A FRIEND IF YOU WANT TO, ONE CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY FRIENDS IN THIS WORLD . HAVE A GREAT 08 AND STAY SAFE OUT THERE.
For some of us I think it's a way of life, it's one of the few constants in our lifes. The old saying 150 years of tradition unimpeaded by progress. I know I would be lost with out it or the friends that come with it.
Hello. To answer your question, it really all depends.. As far as Active Duty Army firefighting I would say probably civilian firefighting is a little better. Now as a DoD Civilian Firefighter, they don't get nearly as many fires as civilian (non-DoD) departments do, but w/good mutual aid agreements you can get some. Now the DoD is great for certifications. You can do all your certs (self-study) for free. They are really big into certs. I have been both (Civilian and Military) and each presents there own challenges. You will porbably see more interesting calls outside a military installation, DoD is just really good when it comes to fire prevention. Now the benefits and pay are probably better DoD than Civilian. Like I said it really all depends on what you like and what you want to do...Either way they are both Firefighters and I respect anyone (volunteer or career) military or civilian that wants to do this outstanding job. Hope this helps a little, just remember each department has it's own set of challenges and every dept. is only as good as what you put into it.
No prob... Air Force (Pope) has a crash rescue mission also (Most military Installations do) so you might have seen their crash trucks (Airport FF) and the Air Force also buys a lot of 4x4 structural engines too. The truck you see in my pics is a deployable Army Tactical Fire Fighting Truck (TFFT). It can do crash (Pump and Roll), structural, and wildland. The DoD buys some neat (sometimes not as functional as need be) apparatus :).... Stay Safe
No. Thats about 3 hrs south of me. We did have a big Industrial Silo Fire the other night. It was filled with wood chips and it was rolling when I got there. We were on scene for 15 hrs trying to get it out. It was the night of the 16th when it was cold and raining mixed with a little snow.
