Yes I can see both sides to that story, I know that some of the stations around us have gone with a full time day crew. And you can see the difference from those that where Vol. to Paid. We all must remember that we all do the same job. I'm a Vol. till the pager goes off then I'm a Firefighter.... Other than that how goes the summer there?

It does not matter if it's pay or vol. I look at one thing which puts us all on the same playing field.
Once that pager goes off, we are no longer Vol. or Paid, we are firefighters. Do the same job, in both there are idiots and ones we look at what are you doing here....

Hey, thanks for the add. I hope that all is well. Have a safe week

I think that's the way it should be, once the tones go off. Same playing field, all work together. I find once you get to know each other the walls go down pretty fast. If you can't beat them, might as well join them....

Check out Roll Call Forum and put some info about your Fire House in... Like to hear what your station is like, what you have as well as for number for firefighters as well as number of calls. Pass it around to your Firefighter Friends too....

Kim

u r not gonna survive long if u dont like getting ur hands dirty...u r a JUNIOR...this means u get the crap jobs and earn the respect of everyone else...esp since u r a girl u will have to show them that u can do whatever they can, maybe even do it better...same goes for FFI and im not kidding...remember that i've been through it for four years

Damn you guys seem busy. A couple days ago we had two structure fires a car wreck and a grass fire that was a pretty busy day. The car wreck and the grass fire happened at the same time so we had like three trucks out all at once. But other than that im like you trying to keep up with everything else.
