Re: On the Job

haha! thanks, tony...

would you believe i've been at my current station for almost a year, and haven't had a SINGLE car fire? keep in mind we've got an interstate and a major area mall in our district....

that's the kind of luck i have!

i'm a wheel-chock! i've been told one of these days i'm gonna get DUMPED on... a year and a half of no major calls (with the exception of one house fire) all leading up to ONE BIG CRAP-FEST!

we just did some training on mass casualty triage.... the scenario was a big C-5 transport plane gets shot down by terrorists and bounces through several densely populated neighborhoods before exploding in a massive BLEVE of jet fuel. talk about 'pucker-factor'! lol!

i supposed the citizens of beavercreek are greatful for me, though. they're all safe when i'm on shift.

Re: On the Job

Wow I'm impressed by both of you. It takes some guts to be a fireman. Very selfless occupation as well.

Re: On the Job

I have to agree... fireman are some good people. Who else would park their big trucks behind my patrol car to avoid my car from getting creamed on a scene??? lol... j/k guys. Hope you know that you're appreciated from a law enforcement stand point also!

Re: On the Job

In the military, we also appreciate firemen. Sometimes we get a little carried away in training exercises and the firemen need to clean up after us to prevent damage to buildings not included in the training exercise

Re: On the Job

This pic was taken by a bystander. That's me without turnout gear, getting ready to charge the line. This was and arson fire just look at the location under a bridge with no one around. This came in as a working commerical. No one was injuried.
