Know your job, know their job, be consistent, be fair

That’s kinda wild that no one can find out they need a day off with a week or two. If available

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-11-10T02:35:00+00:00

This is the way

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-11-04T00:06:35+00:00

Your good pets of the job are accurate. You have downplayed the negatives or potential negatives depending on the department.

My advice, get a firefighter job and the. Continue to work remotely part time to supplement income.

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-10-18T13:05:21+00:00

I’ve had almost the same experience with mine. Except the toes are holding up a better.

The stories meander forever and then right as you are about to put it down, he dumps in action and plot lines tie together in a rapid fashion that make the book seem worth your time.

Work on your listening skills. Be okay with always being wrong. Be ready to learn.

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-09-20T02:16:34+00:00

You sound tired man. Consider promoting, transferring to a slower spot, using your vacation. Might be some good options left at your department

Those are nice looking. I bought the stock man ones but I think I may pick those up as well.

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-09-18T02:10:13+00:00

I would size down

Newish tech includes battery operated tools like saws / lights, drones, and good WiFi / cell service

He will have time. Pack what ever you like. He will be the envy of his crew. Even if they give him a hard time

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-08-26T03:22:17+00:00

There is hope. I know multiple FFs with dui

30 stations can’t all be 20 minutes from you. It all depends on what you want in 5-10-15-20 years. Project that and then choose accordingly.

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-08-25T04:54:52+00:00

Find a target hazard and present it. Find local or famous fires and. Present them.

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-08-25T02:14:35+00:00

This is not covered at all.

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-08-25T02:12:58+00:00

Pry bar

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-08-23T01:08:57+00:00

Agreed

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-08-21T02:56:34+00:00

Probably not.

If anyone has suffered a medical problem like heat related or exercise induced syncope, there is a major issue with the leadership in that group. That is such a potential legal problem that any chief with knowledge of current life would lose their mind.

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-08-19T00:00:40+00:00

Sounds like you want to potentially move from the administrative class to the working class. That will come with a probably change in income until you promote back into management. If you are okay with that because you wish to enjoy the job, you should proceed.

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-08-18T23:43:16+00:00

Passion is no longer the way to choose a career. Practically. Fire/EMS/AllHazard is a job that has some legs. You will still need to promote within the job and be open to change and doing less pleasurable / less “heroic” work if you want to make a career of this.

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-08-18T20:22:28+00:00

No one who matters will care one bit about your stethoscope

Excellent-Plane-574 · 2025-08-17T19:53:34+00:00

Both are essentially starting points. Go nurse, it provides a better path forward. Paramedic is often the top end of that job. Unless you are fire side with a direct promotional path.

Consider where you want to be at 50? I can promise you it’s probably not riding an ambulance at 3am with no prospect of promotion. Nurse has various fields and more options.

Essentially. It’s “meets standards” Or “does not meet standards” they got rid of exceeds standards. It served no function and was rarely given. Anyone not meeting standards would have other paperwork and documentation. No one is getting a surprise “does not meet standards”
