lol

What ever man the major city fire departments are were it’s at shit

Good luck chief. Anything is worth a try

If they respond on all emergencies but can’t fight fires, can’t go on a ems or Mva... what can they do?

I’m a junior firefighter I get training gear and everything have a pager and I can go on any emergency I want I can do everything at them only thing I can’t do is work the ladder and jaws of life and run into the building but I can fight it from the outside

@@theexperience6448 every place is a bit different. I'm restricted due to my board that oversees the department. I get to make all operational decisions, but the legal aspects is from the board. There is a thought process behind it, it's not all legal stuff. 1) as a 16 year old, you don't need to see some of the stuff that is out there yet (i.e. EMS calls, suicides, Car Accident fatalities etc.) Protecting the young minds. 2) There are not only legal ramifications if a 16 or 17 year old gets hurt or killed on a fire, there is the public perception of your department (Doesn't matter if everything was done right, sometimes shit just happens). In Indiana you can not obtain a firefighter certification till you are 18. You can start training at 17 years and 1 week old (No idea how or why they came up with that). I also keep operations to "If you're not certified you don't go" Meaning EMS calls. Like I said, every place is a bit different in how they operate. The Department close to me does the same as your department.

@@mrxperfectxdeathx9620 they can do extirpated firefighting as least in my state. Fire fires from the outside, tools bitch and anything else.

Cap Cap People have to work two or three jobs to get by now. Nobody has time to volunteer anymore. Its not like the old days.

That's "paid" not "payed"

I was once told if you have to get paid for everything you do you're not worth much 🤔

That’s the point ass I need to get damn fucking paid shit I got bills to pay ass

@@mcaddictsdamn right shit people ant doing shit free anymore or giving there damn fucking time free anymore dammit shit people got bills to pay and kids to feed shit

Employers in pa can not punish or fire an employee if they miss work for a fire call. Employees can also leave early for fire calls too

here in nc lot vol now mostly peope who wanna go in fire service and they have sometimes mutiple jobs such as fire dept paid and emt paid and they do vol on free willing itme so lot them stay super busy so vol is last thing theyd o and leaves lack of fire fighters in vol fileld

It's difficult for a young, married person with a job to spend hours of training, drills meetings,call to volunteer to be a firefighter these days. I joined the volunteer fire service in 1961 and still can do some things, like run the pump. The training consisted of about 20 hours of State requirements. Further training was taught by the officers. People just don't have the time for the amount of required training to be a volunteer firefighter

@@rayhollenbeck8419 true and not true lot vol fire ifghters were i live are paid and emt are some might be forrest fire fighter and vol but vol is on there free time ive seen some most work ffor city or surrend country that paid and be emt either with county ems or fire dpet makes emt run if there together and when they do vol its last rueslt osme do both and dont got time to vol even when they do they spend memuim time doing it lot vol take paid fire ifghters more then street worker or a cosnuttuion worker who wants vol time because one there going into field and they alredy got tranning and i think vol choosing to hire people who do fire fighing full time is could be a pat problom hire paid peopel who do it as carreer but also hire peopel who dont ive seen lot vol here we got city and vol do county ive seen they take vol fire fighters and city end up annexin the vol land clsing thrm making it into city then the city builds a city station and hire people the thing is the cities annex the vol land when they cant meet reguriments and the vol now belongs to city land i say vol need to not only bring in people who do it as a actully job but they need also pull people who do it as job let them vol yess but also pull people who wanna vol there actull time and u can work it out

@@rayhollenbeck8419damn right shit

@@armaniburton8661 didn't comment on this subject

Bull shit paid major city fire departments is were its at Ass

@@armaniburton8661 Paid retirement homes is what career fire depts really are. On the backs of the misinformed taxpayers of course.

@@waynemerlo7448 yeah what ever azz hole

@@armaniburton8661 You’re no doubt a career firefighter aren’t you? Asshole!

The fuck? its a job...they're running 24 hour shifts...they are entitled to sleep...and what you don't know? Is that those guys aren't sitting around doing nothing. They're working out in the gym, cleaning the TAXPAYER paid station and apparatus, training, ect....yes there is down time, but not as much as you think.

WHAT??????????
