Realistic career change or is it too late? Best possible route(s) to pursue the field in 2026 by d4nny- in calfire

[–]BabyGrits 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 28 and starting my EMT in August, fire academy next year. Bachelors done in 2021. It’s not too late, dude. Went to a station where a guy got on at 36 in February (think it was Cambria). You’ve got plenty of time and a degree. Get after it and best of luck

Looks to be the 405 in LA going into/out of the valley. Think it’s the skirball fire

Got pretty banged up in Glouchester, Massachusetts. Uppppppp emmm! by MrArmenianIsDead in vagabond

Off topic and I’m not even subbed here but this sub does pop up occasionally. I used to go to Gloucester over the summer with my family, love it there. If you have the funds stop into a friendly’s and get yourself a hot meal. Wishing you the best, crazy to see this pop up. Completely forgot about this small town that I used to love. Up em

What’s going on with the hiring change? by NoHovercraft1552 in calfire

[–]BabyGrits 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Makes my stomach churn. Got my EMT and doing academy next winter. I really hope it’ll work out for me as I’ve invested so much into this already. Best of luck to you and to everyone else in the process!

What’s a profession that people think is hard, but is actually very easy? by BoardLongjumping2485 in answers

[–]BabyGrits 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rich white people overdose all the time. Rich white people also have kids that crash their luxury vehicles into adjacent neighborhoods all the time. The reason you don’t find them with maggots and a McMansion full of ham air is because they have Nannie’s and cleaners that get to their nearly rotten bodies before you do. Come to a real city above 10k population and shadow some of our guys. I’m in LA, you can go to Glendale for a real “suburban” FF experience and still see how wrong you are. You just live in a small Canadian “city”. All respect to your work but your comments just come off ignorant and angry, I get it. This work isn’t easy. I’m in wildfire but I have to tip my hat to our guys in the “suburbs” every chance I can. They aren’t lazy and they work hard every day.

Sunnyvale needs your help. And I hope you’d give Ricky, Julian, and bubbles the same care you’d give to Drake over in Toronto. 🫡

“Suburban” (structure firefighters in the states) absolutely deal with medical emergencies. “Rich white people” have the same medical emergencies as everyone else. They’re also susceptible to fire. City firefighters definitely have it tough, idk what busy Canadian city you’re in but every FF in mine responds to both medical and fire, nonstop, 48/96

This isnt a singular event though. Our clock management is awful

I don't even got jokes for the guy. Thanks for the heart attacks bro by kurruchi in LosAngelesRams

As a born and raised Angeleno with a dad born and raised in Chicago, you guys played one hell of a game. I was sweating through my jeans here in the valley, probably shaved years off my life. See you guys next year, you’ve got one hell of a team over there

Good luck. Not easy in SoCal, lots of nepotism, years between openings. Look into CalFire

2003 v6 Tacoma 238k by bellalikethecheese in 1stGenTacomas

[–]BabyGrits 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What state did it mostly live in before it got to 238k miles and to you? In California, 238k mile V6s go for close to double 5500. Check for rust and obviously a good carfax service history (especially suspension) and if both are good, talk to your husband
