^^Ladder 2215... ******* beast. You can see Philly in it from almost all the way up it

 

change the name of the thread to firemen post your calender shots.

 

Is that your only house? in the department? If so clean trucks, we are getting a new one this or next year. This is what my deparment has

Engine 96 - Snowden House
Engine 97 - Cataract House
Engine 98 - Steamer House
Engine 99 - Monitor Hose
Engine 100 - Holla Hose
Engine 101 - Independent House
Rescue 14 - Senate House
Ladder 41 - Senate House
Ladder 42 - Snowden House
Utility 51 - Steamer House

 

Who, me? If so, then no, we've got 3 stations

221-
Engines 2211 and 2212, Rescue 2218, Ladder 2215

223-
Engines 2231 and 2232, Ladder 2235, Brush 2239

225-
Engines 2251 and 2252, Rescue 2258, Brush 2259

All Seagrave apparatus. And each station has an ambulance (221 has 2). We're also getting all new trucks next year I can't wait

 

nice, So im guessing you guys also have like sections in town, and box numbers?

 

i'm thinking about becomming a volunteer firefighter.

 

DO IT!!!!!!!!!

 

I second that!!! Give back to your community

 

And yes. 221 covers the North end of town (most-businesslike area, and that station is huge), 223 and 225 respond together to cover the middle and south areas because it's way more residential and half of the south end (where I live) is just woods haha

 

Yeah same here, we have box numbers

1-1-2, 2-1-2, 1-1-1-1, 1-1-3, 2-1-3, 1-1-4, 2-1-4, 6-6, and we have others, but my box numbers are 1-1-3, 2-1-3, 1-1-1-1, and 6-6, but 6-6 is for everyone, 6-6 is general alarm and everyone get the f*** off your a** and get there

 

haha yea that's what we have but it's a "Task Force" call in whichever station's local it is. And then if the sh*t really hits the fan it's a "all companies in service" and basically every piece is sent out

 

Any benifits from being a volunteer firefighter?

 

Cops tend to let you get out of stuff. I got pulled over for doing 55 in a 25 down the shore in March at like 11pm, no one was on the streets other than me and the cop who was hiding and he was talking to me about the FD and I just got a seatbelt violation (like $42 instead of $300 and 3 points or something). I've been pulled over for my tint 4 times and I've only gotten warnings. I just keep my badge with me in my wallet so whenever they ask for my license they see it. Other cool stuff is like if we're all out to dinner on a duty crew wearing our fire shirts, we'll get free food or big discounts sometimes. But the best thing hands-down is the respect you get from people for it. Especially being 19, everyone thinks I'm just "some punk kid" but when they find out I'm a firefighter they give me a whole new level of respect. There's a ton of awesome stuff with being a FF. And best of all you get to look cool wearing the gear and ride around on big red shiny trucks haha

 

Thats sweet dude

 

Yea man, and soooo many looks from chicks haha. But really, it's so cool and the people are the best. It's such an awesome brotherhood/family. I want to be a career FF so bad

 

I am joining the First Response team here at the refinery I work at. I am really looking forward to getting my training (which is nationally recognized in Canada) and to be part of the team!!!!

 

That's awesome man, congrats. Refinery stuff is pretty intense. I took a class on fire detection and suppression systems and we had a whole section on refineries and it was nuts haha

 

our call is....

"General Quarters, General Quarters! All hands man your battle stations. The traffic route is up and forward on your starboard, down and aft on your port. The reason for General Quarters is a class bravo fire number 2 SSDG, Aux 1."

 

I remember those days! Training was a bitch, but very necessary.

 

That's nuts. I'd be so confused at the first call I heard working there haha.

 

tell me about it...3 a days...

 

You must be getting ready for an inspection or getting lots of unsat drills.
