Little River Fire Department
My Training:
We are trained every monday night on various things we might need to use in the field.
About Me:
I was at first intrested in being in law enforcement and recently became intrested in firefighting. i want to do it as a career its probably one of the best decisions i have made with my life.
I've always been intrested in law enforcement but then took a large intrest in firefighting and I am now on Little River Volunteer Fire Department. I now know that i want to be a career firefighter
Why I Love Fire/EMS
Its never the same at any point its always a learning experience
Top Issues Facing Responders:
at this moment on medical calls is the risk of catching the swine flu. also blood pathogens and the other main risks involved in any type of firefighting jobs.
mine is little river volunteer fire department. station 11. my department number is 11-41. i was wanting to see how many other small town firefighters are out there. even big city firefighters. tell me a little bit about your department..if your paid what truck your assigned to.
at my dept. theres always an argument in which is better. i prefer fog nozzles just because of the fog. if you know how to use one properly they can save your life. they cant prevent a flashover but can help you in getting out of the structure away from it. so my point is what do you prefer smooth bore or fog nozzles? and why do you prefer it?
I am writing my research paper for english on should it be nessecary for a career firefighter to have basic EMT training. I was going to try to get some input from true career firefighters. I personally believe that there should be at least 3-4 on each shift who are trained in emt but not all should be required to. what do you think? anything posted could help.
Dylan, Welcome to CFA. I'm glad you decided to join our group. I definitely want to hear from you since your a young gun. Is there any spiritual issues you want to discuss? Post them so we can discuss them. By the way, I'm glad you have found at a young age your desire in life as far as a job. Sure wish it had been that way when I was your age. Well hey take care and hope to hear from you. Take care brother!
