I have a real stupid one it was not a comment but an incident at a fire we reponded to assist a neighboring department at a vacant structure fire we were both activaited at the same time and we beat the department to the call but their chief beat us there. we he seen it was not his truck coming in first he blocked the road with his car. our chief gets out and they start argueing and we going to get into a fight. our chief is 4 foot nothing and we did not want the public display so we picked our chief up put him in the cab and locked the doors and walked away he was so mad he could not remember all he had to do was pull the handle to get out. he was yelling at us to unlock the doors.

Mine was at an MVA. Car piled up into a cedar tree on a low traffic dirt road. Patient had already been transported, so we were standing by waiting on SCHP. This little old stereotypical old lady (coke bottle glasses, hair in a bun, can't see over the steering wheel) rides by 6 times. On the 7th time by she built up enough courage to roll down the window and ask "Has there been a wreck?" Before anybody can say anything our pet yankee, born and bred in North Attleboro, Mass, says "No ma'am. We are parking cars in trees. As you can see the cedar is taken but you can park yours in the oak to the left." Sweet little old lady curses up a blue streak, stomps on the gas and peels out of there. She didn't come back by. LOL

Maby it's just where I live, but, We have a rockin dwelling with plenty of exposure right after a great lightning storm. There's our entire house on scene along with 2 mutual aid companys. Evac tones hit as the roof auto vents, (here's the visual folks, lots of fire), Just as I get out of the house, and walk past what must have been 50 other firemen, a member of the local MENSA group comes up to me and asks, "What's going on"? How do you answer that?

Heard this over the radio last night. Dispatch tones out A CONFIRMED WORKING STRUCTURE FIRE. The dept. members get on scene and cancel everyone. Downgraded to a trash fire in the yard.

A classic one that occured for a neighboring department was the IC wanted one of their probies to go shut the hydrant down. The Probie asked the chief where the hydrant was. To the chiefs credit, he stopped and looked at the truck (to give him a moment to guage the stupidity of the question) and then with a straight face he said that hose line over their is hooked into the neighbors kitchen sink, ask the pump operator which hydrant they hit. Unfortunately, the probie wet away to question the pump operator. To this date, the kid is still called probie for that reason. I wonder if one side of the hose is connected to the engine, if the LDH is connected to a water source. Too funny

I swear to god this is a true story...I was working at Disney as a first responder for Reedy Creek FD. We had a cardiac arrest go out in one of the shops in Frontierland. If you can picture it: I'm doing chest compressions, one medic is intubating and the other is charging the defibrillator on the monitor and some brit walks up to us...pushing his way through the crowd that has gathered and asks what time the 3 o'clock parade starts.

Keep em comin, I love this forum................................
We actually had a probie ask the following question one training night.
" Can we put all the probies in the caravan (we have an old caravan on site to light up for training) and set it on fire and see which one can stay in there the longest"...................................
DOH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
