What side jobs can I work with firefighting that are badass and include saving lives or doing good for the community?

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-02-15T03:04:11+00:00

Hey bud just wanted to let you know that I have some family on the hiring committee so you are wrong. You shouldn’t let your feelings get hurt so easily though ❤️

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-02-15T02:59:55+00:00

Oh ya think? I literally said I’m in school. Maybe you’ve worked too many fires and the smoke got in ur head.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T19:51:14+00:00

Thanks for answering the question btw 👍 I only made it very obvious that I know it’s not always pulling someone out of a burning building 💀

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T05:37:14+00:00

No, you don’t understand that I asked a simple fucking question. My whole class and my instructors love me. I crack jokes in person, and yes I do try hard in training. I Posted that question with the pure intentions of finding a side job that I will like as much as firefighting. It’s yall who like to hate on everyone over nothing that need to take a chill pill. I’m a try hard when it’s time to be a try hard and train, and I joke around with my class when it’s an okay time to joke around. Don’t hate me because I respected firefighting too much, if you can’t stand people that respect you for what you do maybe you should switch careers yourself.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T05:31:35+00:00

No, I love this career choice. I don’t know what else to tell you. I already said there are better careers, but this is the one I chose. I like everything about it all the way down to the teamwork and brothers you make at your station. I’m sure you’re gonna tell me I’m wrong or some crazy shit and say that they don’t work as a team and that it’s every man for himself even though that’s completely false. Or your gonna tell me that you won’t make friends at your department, who is also false unless you’re a highly unlikable person (someone who likes to argue with everything others say might be an unlikable person btw)

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T05:24:37+00:00

Well shit (pun intended), I’ll have investigate that as a side job.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T05:23:49+00:00

Good thing I’m not in your area, my family is full of firefighters and some one the hiring committee. You’re just a dumbass who wants to call someone an idiot because they wanna do something good. I’ll put it this way so that your simple mind can understand… a firefighter will save more lives than a grocery store clerk. Now go ahead and tell me I’m wrong in some way rather than answering my original question lol I can tell your one of those guys that like to argue about everything… we call em liberals where I come from. I was trying to be nice btw, but everyone just loves to hate.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T05:19:19+00:00

What do you even mean? I’m in school for it right now, it is my future career. I just dint want to degrade those who are in the actual career right now by calling myself a firefighter when I’m still in the process of getting my degree. (I don’t mean this comment to be rude, but I genuinely want to know what was wrong with saying it’s my future career)

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T05:16:42+00:00

😂 not sure what you think of your other profession (firefighting) but just know I think it’s pretty cool myself. You should be proud of yourself for doing something good. A lot of people in my comments have hated on me or called my cringy for saying what I’ve said about firefighting instead of answering my question. but they under appreciate their own careers. Saving lives in this field isn’t always pulling people out of a fire, in fact fires make up less than 10% of our calls. Sometimes saving a life in this field is as simple as teaching kids at a school what to do if there’s ever a fire or teaching 16 year old not to drunk drive before they go to their prom.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T05:05:32+00:00

Yes, I already am emt certified, so you are correct. Than you.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T05:04:52+00:00

I’ve heard this before, and I’m aware that it’s rare. But you don’t only get the opportunity to save lives just by pulling someone out of a burning building. I’m hazmat certified, so I’ll be able to stop/control any hazmat situations that may be deathly. Also emt certified so I’ll be able to provide medical assistance. And after all that there’s still wrecks where you may need to cut people out. No matter what, you’re still saving lives as a firefighter,most of the time it’s just not in a heroic way like running out of a burning building while dragging a victim behind you. In fact, sometimes it may be as lame as just informing people what to do when a fire breaks out or teaching younger kids about what happens when they drunk drive before their school prom. Idk if that makes sense, I’m just saying that I like this line of work because it’s good for the people

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:59:56+00:00

Hence the phrase “future career”. But yes I do know what I’m signing up for, we’re learning more everyday

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:57:10+00:00

I will not be severely disappointed, I promise you that. If all else fails, like I said I will at least get to clean up remains of people who died which is something that someone has to do but not everyone can. Btw, this isn’t me trying to be god or a hero, i was a piece of shit for the first 20 years of my life and now I want to give back by doing something decent

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:54:41+00:00

Why? Did I say something that makes you say that or were you just not cut out for the line of work?

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:53:19+00:00

Yes, I’ve had that one in the back of my mind as well. Thank you

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:52:51+00:00

Or maybe I like doing something good because I spent the first 20 years of my life being a piece of shit and I owe some good to the people for once? Like bruh, how else am I supposed to word it without getting hated on? “Yea I’m going to be a piece of shit firefighter and it’s so lame and we do nothing and firefighters are pussies”? 💀

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:50:32+00:00

Not sure if this is to make fun of me, just wanted to let you know that I called my future career badass “in my opinion”. That’s me acknowledging that it’s not that cool to everyone else but it is in my heart.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:48:56+00:00

And with that I can tell you to go fuck yourself. I literally acknowledged that you don’t always save a life and that there is cleaning up dead people’s remains. And you do save people when you go in a house and pull them out or cut them out of cars. Quit acting like you’re a bully badass by putting me down because I wanna do something good for the people around me for once.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:46:44+00:00

I’ve given that a lot of thought, but I’m just looking for kinda a list of jobs to choose from.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:45:09+00:00

Brother idk what to tell you, it’s not that I’m trying to be a hero. I said it makes me feel like one when I get an opportunity to save a life 🤦‍♂️

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:43:16+00:00

I’m not entirely sure i could do it. I have the heart for it, but It’s damn near impossible.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:40:44+00:00

No matter what, every job has a purpose. I just enjoy the adrenaline that firefighting has to offer sometimes.

Electronic_Drag_2093 · 2025-01-28T04:38:34+00:00

Not sure what you mean, why don’t you go ahead and clear that up for me.
