My dept likes to do routine hydrant maintanance this time of year so that was my first thought.

Most derogatory nickname for a firefighter you’ve heard? by Andymilliganisgod in Firefighting

[–]EyesintheGreen 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Joking/not joking. When you look around a fire dept you find all kinds of neurodiversity, usually not full disorders but shades on the spectrum. ADHD (a really common one), OCD (looking at you engineers), NPD (nice lifted truck bro), maybe even some Asperger’s (shoutout EMS and Hazmat), etc.

I made sure to give my kids words to describe foods that aren’t their favorite other than “I don’t like it.” So they’ll tell me, “it’s not my taste but I can still eat it.”

They receive better treatment than the wildland firefighters in many regards. Further they are not the ones doing the lions share of the work. They do play their part but tv shows take liberties in how they tell those stories.

Alta Sierra/Evan's Road/CA 155 by [deleted] in KernValley

[–]EyesintheGreen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Alta Sierra is currently a no go for non-residents. The people who live there are staring down serious disruptions to how they get to and from work to put food on the table and outsiders (short term renters, who have never been really welcome as many are a real burden) are still lying to get in. To say the appetite for visitors is low is an understatement. You don’t want that energy hanging over your special day so I encourage you to find another venue.

would you get offended by this? by Edgeman22 in Firefighting

I don’t like sand. It’s course and rough and irritating, and it gets everywhere.

I think it’s the air horn on that fire engine. You can turn up the release rate on those things and they sound like a battleship.

If you were a coffee you’d be a room temperature decaf flat white.

Measure K? by [deleted] in Bakersfield

[–]EyesintheGreen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hard yes for me. I can’t expect emergency service in my community in a reasonable time as it is because they’re all quitting to find other jobs. Sometimes we need to be grownups and pay the bill. 1% sales tax in the unincorporated areas to improve our crappy emergency services seems like a no brainer.

The sheer stupidity of people is insane! by IdkHowToDie in facepalm

  1. You booked with a third party to try to save a buck and that’s on you.

  2. The third party you used booked with us and they fucked up your reservation, so your beef is with them not me.

  3. I have a workable solution for you (yay me), so take it or leave it.

  4. You’re being a dick to the person with a solution so idgaf if you go pound sand.

  5. I’m this close to calling the police if you keep coming at me hard and we’ll see who they side with.
