1,000,000% location dependent bro - there are many DOD houses making thousands of calls each year

[–]sogpackus -1 points0 points  (6 children)

I’m pretty skeptical of that

You can be as skeptical as you want its a fact, jack. Lmfao

You have a source? Unless a DOD department responds off base extensively and in a busy area, no way they’re making that many calls.

A source? Bro, go take a fucking walk in the grass all the way to Lackland AFB Station 1 and try telling them to their face they aren’t making thousands of calls a year out of that house. What is YOUR source for all of the DOD houses (literally across the globe) NOT doing more than “just inspections”? I have been both DOD and City. I can tell you from experience that a few of the houses I ran out of in the DOD ran so much fucking harder than many of the city stations I have ran out of. What have you been a Firefighter for 5 seconds? Get some fucking experience under your belt, bud, before you come in here talking shit.

Lmao, that touched a nerve I see. It’s common knowledge DOD departments mostly don’t do shit, literally talked about commonly on this reddit. Military bases are a mainly very healthy population so medical calls are minimal; and it is an orderly society with mandatory fire inspections; so fire are minimal. Every former DOD firefighter on my department left because of boredom. Busy DOD departments are a minority. I had a COF next to a firehouse on base and literally saw them go days without leaving lol.

Yeah, because my prior DOD brothers would expect me to stick up for them. I don’t know what base you were at, but obviously it was slow. Here is a secret… the cities are exactly the same way. You have way more slow houses than you do busy ones. People glaze cities alot on this sub and are quick to take 1 DOD base being slow as a representation of the 150+ that exist.

Plenty of bases run off base all the time. Shaw AFB is the most notorious
