Were you drunk when you wrote this? It is the only logical reason I've come up with why #1 you went to the fire station to get your junk filled in the first place, and #2 why you were facking stupid enough to start this thread. Unreal!!!!!!

Just ignore him. He is nothing but confrontational, he knows no other way.

Just wanted to know how his story of being a volunteer EMERGENCY RESPONDER was relevant to this thread. Guess he can't answer that, ok. I guess he learned that if you represent the people's government than you are accountable to them. Pretty sad that he served 12 years and didn't realize that...and that he didn't think he was a servant of the public all that time. Wow
However it was good of him to volunteer.
Lmfao skidoorrulz...I'm confrontational? You're one of the biggest irreverent trolls on here.
Funny how I'm so confrontational when I agreed with rock rev on one of his points.

And here we go again.
Yep it doesn't take much to get him fired up. Haven't put anyone on the ignore list since SRM. He is getting close. Problem is even if you have someone on ignore, every time someone quotes that person you still see their posts. I wonder if he is aware BCR has unbanned him? Maybe he will go home soon.

Aside from all the other B.S. my point was for the 12 years I was a volunteer anyone on my Department would "WORK" at the drop of a hat to save someones ***. The Lazy part just struck a nerve.
Cool, I don't disagree with that.

it would be very tough to be able to move when stuck in an avy. let alown put some hose into your mouth when you can't move a pinkie.
there is a thing called an avilung that does take oxegen out of the snow. they haven't seemed to catch on because how do you get that hose into your mouth when you are in an avy.

I understand that part of it as well, have more than twenty years of Avy and other cold weather survival training from my employer. I just don't see the attraction of having a bag full of non-life sustaining gas surrounding my breathing zone. I'd rather get killed by the Avy if I happened to have overlooked a potential trigger, than get brushed past a tree and suffocate when the bag ruptures, releasing it's non-lifesustaining contents in my breathing zone.
I see this all to often at work these days, people actually believe that the PPE will keep them safe. Bu!!sh!t! If you wear PPE and it is the wrong PPE or you have your head up your azz and have not thought enough about what you are about to do, you will still get hurt or worse. Poorly engineered PPE can be far more dangerous than not using anything other than your head!

Well verbaiged! Exactly! Thanks!
Trust me a bag breaking while you are buried is the least of your concerns. Every knook and cranny gets filled with snow. Asphixation and blunt force trauma are the big reasons you die in an avalanche. unfortunately I have been around to many slides and been to to many funerals. I for one won't give up my abs pack.
lazy overpaid
going to stand by my statement on that.
why is it that every professional firefighter job that has an opening...there are hundreds of very well qualified applicants scrambling for that job...hundreds...
Why??? because it is cake. only like 1 in 100 in there lifetimes ever enter a real burning building.
hours...in our are it is like 5 or 6 full days on duty 24 hour then the same or more off. where the fug do i sign up??? oh ya that line is extremely long..lmao
IMO the salary could be cut in half and still fill these jobs with good candidates....maybe just not the good ol boy club that is there now.
this is the truth and the professional firefighters know it.
ouch.
4pm i stopped by our local lazy acres fire station.... And as a previuos post stated ..maybe I did disturb their circle jerk.
volunteer guys ...good on you....but most just do it to boot lick and get in with the pros
flame away

property owner taxpaying watchdog tired of competing with off duty firefighters working on the side on there "resting days"

Alright Wendell, I'll get flamed right along with you
(god knows it wouldn't be the first time on this site) I do understand some of your points and have some questions I have always wanted to know the answers to. Maybe some firefighters on this site can chime in (hopefully politely). 1. Why do firefighters work 24hrs a day for however many days on?? Why could they not have 3 8hr rotating shifts a day, or 2 12's, etc, like police departments do. Should the taxpayer really have to pay for you to sleep, eat all your meals, shower, take a crap, etc, etc, etc?????
2. For you entrepreneurial fire fighters that have a side business for your "off days" as Wendell points out (I'm sure there are a lot, hell when I built my house my concrete contractor was a fireman with a concrete business) How many hours do you spend on the taxpayer dime running your side business, taking phone calls, texts, emails, etc, etc??? Should the taxpayer be paying you to be making more money on the side????
These questions are more for urban firefighters, I know it would be pretty tough for wildland firefighters to pack up and go home at the end of 8hrs when they are out in the middle of nowhere.
I appreciate law enforcement, fire fighters, public servants, etc, etc, etc. But, when these departments are run on taxpayer $$$$ don't you think there ways they could be better stewards of our $$$$???? And yes I know, there is waste in every taxpayer funded faction but this thread is about firefighters in specific.
Alright, fire away, I can take it. And, yes if my house is on fire you can let it burn. It is insured, the only things I have that couldn't be replaced would be ruined by the water anyways.
