My firehouse has EMS ranks; EMS Sergeant, EMS LT., EMS CAPT. Might also want to throw "rookie" on there, and "Technician". Also might want to throw on "Truckie", "Cab Driver", and my fav mis-abreviation, "Ass. Chief".

There are really ranks as long as "Deputy Assistant Chief Officer Assistant Commissioner"?

.

BOMBERO (in Spanish)
소 방 관 (in Korean)
VOLUNTEER ('nough said)

There's a lot of ethnic communities in our fair land, and while we wouldn't use "Bombero" on a duty shirt (except in Oregon, maybe) it would be appropriate on an off-duty shirt. The same with "Firefighter" in any language where there is an ethnic community! There are places in Orange County, California where the only signs which are not primarily in Korean are the street signs!

Thanks Greenman... Thought I listed Volunteer Firefighter in that list, guess not. Hmmm, wonder what happened.

Anyway, I already have Volunteer and Volunteer Firefighter t-shirt designs - they are some of my best sellers.

Thanks again!

when I was in retail I used to use the name tag "ASS MAN" at one of my earlier jobs. It was 100% true until I got promoted then it was only 50% true, but the name kinda stuck.
