My god I just checked your post history. There is no shaming you. This is literally your life. Just imagine how much you could accomplish if you weren’t addicted to Reddit. You’re making a difference, though!
Paid and volunteer fire fighters literally do sit on their asses 90% of their shift because other than Detroit there aren’t many fires anymore. They go on medical calls but fire doesn’t happen much.
Until the services were professionalized in the 1930's, in New York fire departments were all ethnic. These days, for whatever reason the fire department is still dominated by the Irish and has practically no black guys in it compared to the actual demographics of the city.
Wildfires are a different story but most of them don’t work all year and aren’t sitting in a station going on a few calls a day most of which are medical
Dudes pathetic. Brags about how he got someone fired for calling him a basement dweller, claims he doesn't have feelings, whines about new guys picking on him. Guy has no life outside firefighting.
Emergency services drama is a delicacy if you live in an area where the pay is high and the actual amount of work is low. I used to have a firefighter as a neighbor (he moved out after his divorce) and the chief hated him. So he told him to his face that he was never getting a promotion as long as he worked there. So he promptly sued the town and after a 3 year lawsuit won like $700,000 in compensation.

Thank you for the info

And even in Detroit, they just contain fires. They don't even fight them
1 snallygaster 2019-09-09
Even back in the day in a lot of places you'd still be sitting on your ass.
My grandfather was a volunteer firefighter and it was more of a social club than anything, they just sat around getting drunk

Eh California firefighters can be p intense
1 TanksAreLit 2019-09-09
That's like once a year
1 jster11 2019-09-09
Ya it honestly seems like a sick ass job
My brother says it’s really hard on probation cus they overwork you but after that year or two it’s easy sailing making bank
1 TanksAreLit 2019-09-09
"making bank" don't they only make like 40k a year?
1 jster11 2019-09-09

1 artemis_m_oswald 2019-09-09
Yeah a lot of the work is medical work nowadays, but I'd still say that's work
1 Kaiser-romulus 2019-09-09
It’s not really. Send a engine crew to a medical call to take a meager set of vitals and wait for the ambulance to show up. It ain’t work.
1 lolcows63 2019-09-09
eh its work, the key is shooting shit with the boys isn't too bad
1 jster11 2019-09-09
My brother just started as a Cali firefighter and it seems kinda intense but he’s also brand new so they work him to death

Then halfway through he said he got a medical call, then he returned to the convo half an hour later!
Keep tabs on this guy, he might keep the laughs coming in.
1 DeliciousPaste 2019-09-09
He mentioned losing his other job because the plant closed down or something. He seems like a dude in a rough spot with the rest of his life.
