Great stuff, Jay. I can identify with some of these. How'd you know I'd been on a date with Rescue Annie????? At least she didn't talk back. I'll share these with the guys...
I can't stop laughing. Not at all this has to be the best thread ever! Bad thing is I can actually identify with a few of these. Espically about the dispatch center saying "ya'll can't miss it". Man this has me wiping tears from my eyes. Good stuff man can't wait to see what you come up with next.
While this is funny I am left wondering does going to a working Sheep fire count


and yes I have been to a working Sheep fire and no not a BBQ
Allen, you are Baaaaaaaaaaaaaad
Not Red Man, but I do know a couple firefighters around here who would keep at least a pack of smokes in their gear.

As far as people being related on the department...we had, at one time, five members of the department all related to one another. Three generations of one family. Three of another at different times. Right now we have (between fire and EMS): two husband and wives, father/son, brothers, cousins, father-in-law/daughter-in-law, and brother/sister.
not redman on this end...more like 3 cans of grizzly just in case!
nice post, really nice and yes some of them are very close to the truth. Every once in a while we do get some new blood in the department if someone goes out of town to get married. ;)
* You’ve ever referred to a light bar as sexy
* You borrowed the department’s quick dump tank so you could have a neighborhood pool party
* Your rescue truck can smoke the tires


Some of the guys say we have sexy lightbars LOL
One guy used the tanker to fill his pool and the Capt. used it to make a mud pit for his family reunion. LMFAO
Finally our "rescue truck" comes close but Brush 26 will smoke them. ROGLMFAO
Too funny, Jay
Funniest post ever!!
