I dont know how yall do it where your from. I'm 17 years old and all our departments have junior programs but we're not little kids running around not knowing what to do. I am certified through the MS fire academy in Search and Rescue, Truck operations, Extrication, and fire tactics. I am also an EMT-Basic, and first responder. I do not like to be classified as a "junior fighter". I know what to do when I arrive at a call. Everyone at our department goes through a 90 day probationary period where we cannot run lights on our POVs. Now i have lights on my truck and am allowed to run them to a call or to the station. I understand this job is not a game, but I take my job as a volunteer very seriously.
