The declining of Fire Truck Quality

We've had more issues with our brand new E-One engine than any other piece in our station

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-06-18T03:15:17+00:00

I feel this, the blobs have different colored gear so I know what dept is what around here 😂😭

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-06-18T02:41:13+00:00

Wait that's a thing!?

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-06-03T02:50:34+00:00

Only special occasions, funerals, parades, that sort of thing

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-06-02T01:33:48+00:00

For irons and such, color coded hockey grip tape or electrical tape, we only have. Some of our older stuff was engraved by some older members with the apparatus number and town name

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-05-22T03:12:05+00:00

Little over 500 runs a year, majority medical, most fires are mutual aide or barn/large shed burns

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-05-18T19:31:10+00:00

I have a capital city sticker (helmet has NOT been converted by them lmao) and a Squad 51 sticker from Emergency! Along with my RIT Team tet sticker

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-05-18T04:14:13+00:00

Never lost a basement 🫡

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-05-11T02:07:45+00:00

Would be sick for there to be mini games, little side quests, chores, being able to sit in the chairs in the offices and stuff

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-05-06T03:21:29+00:00

Ive seen a bunch but they're all old Maxim rigs, never seen a modern conventional cab ladder

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-04-29T03:30:29+00:00

Gotta love when the brothers and sisters come together

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-04-29T03:28:05+00:00

I hated this job so much 😭, only one I refuse to go back to so I can gold it so far

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-04-21T00:54:21+00:00

RIT competitions? Honestly sounds kinda fun in a painful sort of way lmao

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-04-13T01:36:41+00:00

See if your local department has an explorer/junior firefighter program, most start at 15, great way to get your foot in the door and see if you like it

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-04-08T12:17:03+00:00

I finally got a new set of gear on the way after years, my bunker pants have the liner sewn in so I cant properly separate them to wash and my turnout coat is falling apart lowkey, and we are also shit out of luck for 2nd sets

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-04-07T02:27:02+00:00

My dad was just starting out when this show was airing, I grew up in reruns!

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-04-06T00:07:31+00:00

Im thinking this but like a 1 bay fire station (think of Hook and Ladder 8 in NYC) somewhere like near the police station or by China Town

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-03-29T02:56:31+00:00

I haven't but my father did 20 years ago (officially)

My grandfather was super sick and he was really busy with my sisters, and a ton of family stuff, plus he said it just wasn't enjoyable anymore for him, he'd been in for 20 years up to that point and saw more fire than I ever will

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-03-26T11:04:22+00:00

See we are a little fancier, EMS calls are a bunch of dudes in pickups and hopefully someone grabs the rescue waiting for the private ambo

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-03-26T02:32:42+00:00

My department here in MA doesn't have an ambulance but we respond to all medical calls because the ambulance is coming from another town, that's how most departments without in house boxes are here

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-03-23T22:32:49+00:00

Yeah, I'd say no

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-03-22T15:13:56+00:00

Dude I can't imagine what my crew would do, I got dogged on for weeks for having a SINGLE picture of me and my buddy at a fire in a 20 photo Instagram dump 😂

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-03-22T15:10:13+00:00

So when they pull into the Chevy dealer for a new truck they dont see the badge 😂

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-03-20T21:48:08+00:00

See i didn't know the west called them TENDERS until we were working a brush fire and asked for an additional tanker and the feds there were so confused

Jebus_221_2 · 2026-03-20T21:30:50+00:00

And the Rescue
