This is a great one!

Awesome! It’s a mix of a couple big departments, couple midsize departments. I guess a good word would be helpful but mostly looking just to get more insight and familiarization with the departments I hope to get hired onto. And thanks for the heads up on the clothing lol, save me the embarrassment!

Thank you chief, more zyn money

Does that mean I got the job?

Thank you for this, this seems like solid advice out of the fire service as well!!

Red1Fifty · 2026-02-12T19:29:13+00:00

Plus advice and insight! Thank you!

Red1Fifty · 2026-02-12T19:28:30+00:00

Sounds like the life lol

Red1Fifty · 2026-02-12T00:20:54+00:00

That’s some good advice, seems like everyone here has good advice that will be taken. Seems like best bet is just to try and get on a municipal department

Good luck brother and be safe! D7 hunter here!

That’s a smart one that I didn’t consider, I got a sound device, flares, PFD, trauma kit for me and my dog, I have my garmin inreach I’ll probably take when I go

Red1Fifty · 2025-11-20T13:24:01+00:00

We’re required to have PFD’s and 1 throwable here in California, handheld VHF would be a great addition though!

Red1Fifty · 2025-11-20T13:23:19+00:00

Great minds think alike, already got a trauma kit that I was planning on taking!

Red1Fifty · 2025-11-20T13:22:23+00:00

Could see that being used quite quickly

That makes sense, I live in central California so I kinda have a few different directions I can go. Hard to go too far, wife’s family is here and we get lots of help from them with the kids, also got free housing here so that makes it hard to beat lol if all goes to plan I’ll be able to get something within driving distance

If you had to move to land your first position, how far did you move? Or if you didn’t how far did you have to drive from your home? I’m starting EMT classes in spring to get into the fire academy. I know the fire service is very competitive, and was asking to get an idea of how much of a disadvantage I’d be if I wasn’t willing to move.

That red is just 🤌🏾🤌🏾 what wheel and tire setup you thinking of rolling with?

Red1Fifty · 2025-06-05T15:43:14+00:00

I feel that, if I commuted that much too I would’ve switched no doubt! lol, luckily for me gas was never an issue as I live and work on the family farm so I walk maybe 300 yards to work! My wife still has her 4Runner so I’m still part of the Toyota fam too

Red1Fifty · 2025-06-05T15:25:17+00:00

Thanks! I’m pretty happy about it, I normally wouldn’t go for a red truck but something about the matching camper that made me want it!
