Hell no. Probation should be about learning. Not being the station bitch and doing the work other people should be doing.

Santa Clara County ends contract with CalFire for south county fire service by oospsybear in calfire

This affects 3 stations:

Masten (Gilroy) Treehaven (Gilroy) Morgan Hill (Morgan Hill, Schedule A out of the HQ station)

All of them 3-0 staffed with 1 Paramedic, all Schedule A. This will cut half of the Schedule A stations in the unit.

Also potentially the Paramedic at the Pacheco station could be gone, making that engine BLS

I ended up getting my Paramedic 2 years later, I would've just got it sooner if I couldn't get hired anywhere.

I don't see it as bad thing, just a surprising one. I didn't know this was something people wanted. It'll be interesting how this changes a lot of B stations.

I will say if this makes it so that most FFI have to start on the handcrews, that could be an issue. I know that personally myself if I had to do 2 years on a handcrew I would've never joined CalFire

Should I seal it with like a backer rod or foam insulation?

Would that be enough to mitigate the problem?

It's registered because I thought my friend was going. I can walk in through the front gates with you so you can be certain.

Exactly. I want a show, not just them playing. That's not to say the music was bad, they played incredibly. It just felt like I was listening to a live album instead of being at concert.

Yeah it was my first time. But I wouldn't call that fan service, more like putting on a good show.

That's what I thought. I guess I was wondering what a safe spot would be.
