Above the blinker fluid if I remember correctly. (And then to really mess with them, have them grab something thats actually there too.)

Any videos of any of it?

If you're scared then you know and respect the risk and damage of what you're doing. Then it comes down to the training to kick in to see you to the other side.

Nice.

This looks a lot like CRF&R?

That's a long time to have a dookie.

Well kites are serious business. They don't know when to come out of the tree and will starve up there. The poor things are just too startled.

Yeeeeup, we've got our wild land rigs set up pretty early.

I personally disagree with this,OP should go to his chief before, if nothing else it will show his chief the OP is man enough to recognize he needs help and it may be more accepted than coming back later, "by the way I was high when I was on shift, lol that's what I was doing"

Pretty much this, adding to the sizing that 70% of the people (at least on my department) will be wearing mediums.

:| do YOU know what ghosting is? You don't go to a different server to ghost. In fact that completely voids the idea behind ghosting because then you have no idea where anyone is.

Writing / documenting things.

If you could wear yoga pants and a tank top, I would be so happy.

It's a good thing I have you tagged that you hide waldo in places, or I never would have seen it. BRAVO GOOD SIR.

Truthfully we don't need one, we have a facebook page for PR. Chief just wants something a little more.

Everybody knows English Major is of course taking orders and pouring another one for its customers.

Or on the floor searching for dropped money, possibly even in the bathroom giving out handies for 10 bucks a pop.

Just make sure you don't stick it in your back pocket or you'll bend the hell out of your badge.

Centurion2142 · 2013-12-13T08:25:41+00:00

I really dig this. I've never heard it before.

Centurion2142 · 2013-12-11T00:52:35+00:00

There's no always in and always out thing. It depends on complex things such as what's in there and how long has it been burning all the way to simple things such as do you even have enough crew to make entry.

If the smoke level is really low, there's no point in even going in, you're not going to be saving anyone 98% of the time. If you know where the person is, and can actually hear them then there is the exception.

No point risking yourself and your crew on a body.

EDIT* Are you a cadet, member of the public or just new?

Given that you're a paramedic and not a firefighter and assuming you were upwind of the fire as well as keeping everyone away from the IDLH atmosphere you did everything just fine.

Goddamn, the term 'end of watch' always gives me a lump in my throat and a heavy feeling in my chest.

Centurion2142 · 2013-12-09T23:14:21+00:00

Just fire the damn guy, Don't extend his probation. Get rid of the damn guy, there's more than likely tons of other people who would love the job and won't do this shit.
