Why I Joined Fire/EMS
I joined when i was 14, in hopes of becoming a junior to learn the basic's and actually just be a part of something. I wasnt involved in much and i thought if i was going to do something to give back, this would be perfect. I'm 15 now and in 2 months ill be able to go on emergency calls again. I also want the training to later utilize it in the military.
Why I Love Fire/EMS
The chance to do something, that, people will look at and say.. Hey, hes looking to make a difference someday. And I am, i plan to make it all the way.

Junior firefighter--training(Hose evolution)

Posted on March 17, 2009 at 6:30pm 1 Comment

I think I'm going to start blog posts, on mentionable trainings, mainly the ones I enjoy. Which I seem to enjoy everything, whether it be the mazes, or just sitting in the meeting room going over basics.

I did some vehicle rescue training, and some others, but I cant recall them good enough to go over them fully.

Dude I for real agreee with you, I was a junior at one time, Everybody was. And my Chief will tell you the same thing i am about to tell everybody on FFN. The best way for a Junior to learn is to actually do it hands on. If you just sit there at the station and dont go, your not learning a damn thing, RIGHT!!! Now of course all juniors should have someone there with them telling them and showing them what things are and how things work. And just to settle it yes juniors should all have pagers, FINAL. Theres one thing about it, the younger generation is going to have to pick up the aging fire service members slack, they arnt going to be around forever, and so this type of hands on expierince is needed. I know when i was 16 and 17, i was going out on calls, and wreck, traffic control, just simple things, but in doing so, i learned way more, than sittin there listen to somebody read a bunch of shit to me. So people need to back off the juniors, because they are the ones who will be the next generation firefighters.
