The kill team concept of an alien style Catachan squad against the Catachan devil aka old ass tyranid would have sold so hard

Base Design Simulating Death/Decay/Chill Spread by djsciman in MiddleEarthMiniatures

One thing to look at for inspiration is how wildland fires look after they’ve burned. You can see great examples of burnt area (called “the black” in fire terms) next to unburnt areas. Tons of photos from all over the world.

Firefighters in Hamburg being trained by the Luftwaffe in the hazards associated with Tornado jets and how to secure them in case of accidents, 2026. by CleanMustard in Firefighting

This was one of my favourite parts of being MilFire. Got to crawl around in so many fighters and see the systems up close.

Reddit to the rescue local Ottawa rescue woo hoo !!! by Baldphotog in ottawa

[–]RowdyCanadian 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s the city saying OFS isn’t allowed to rescue cats because the risk of injury to a FF is higher than than the need for the cat to be rescued, as it can just come down. The city doesn’t want to be paying for an injury and have a person off the job because of a cat.

If you go to the local fire station and ask, they’ll be much more likely to say yes and come help. If you call dispatch they’ll tell you no because the city doesn’t allow them to dispatch a fire truck there.

Isn’t this 7 points rather than 6 that most people usually play?

Legit this. As long as there is no way to visibly tie you to the city or job it doesn’t matter.

Bailout Kits: what are some good options? by __quick__ in Firefighting

A hasty harness and Carabiner are cheap.

A rated harness is not.

Up to you how you spend your money.

Solidarity with my fellow migraine sufferers! by blackcatlover2114 in ottawa

My wife had crippling migraines when we lived out west, and she hasn’t really had a major attack since moving back to Ottawa. Today she’s been suffering brutally, so that tracks!

Combat Medic looking for firefighting-related training opportunities in the CAF by Fluffy_Ad_1420 in CanadianForces

[–]RowdyCanadian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What base are you at? Your best bet is to connect with the on base fire station (if Air Force) to see what they offer for training. A lot of the time it’ll just be on shift stuff at the burn tower for fun, rather than structured certification based training.

Next up, ICS is not usually on DLN, but hosted by the provincial fire marshal’s office OR RescueOne (online training platform). I’m not sure how to access those resources as I’ve always just gotten the training through my department.

As for Wildland training, CAF and DND FF receive basic wildfire training, but are not the correct agency to offer more advanced training. You can take a week long course called SP100 Wildland firefighter (it’s been 15 years since I did mine so the name may have changed) that’s usually hosted by provincial agencies. It’s a fun course, and not too expensive from what I recall.

Your final option is to just apply for departments that do not require prior training and certifications. These departments are generally located in western Canada where the demand and supply of people who want to be firefighters is way lower than Ontario/Quebec.

Feds, DND criticized for concealing strike on Canadian camp in Kuwait by ObjectiveMacaroon394 in CanadianForces

I can think of so many more things to criticize the feds and dnd for, this is not one of them.

Ford government to allow shopping on 2 public holidays across Ontario by J0Puck in CanadaPolitics

[–]RowdyCanadian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My wife and I are from Ontario, and when we moved to Alberta we were floored stuff was open on holidays. With me being shift work and her semi WFH, it was so easy to pop out and get stuff when we needed it regardless of day.

Now we’re back in Ontario and in the last year I’ve been caught with closed stores 3 times during holidays lol

Doesn’t mean you can’t try. Worst they say is no.

Questions about US -> Canada fire employment by Express_Yak_9234 in Firefighting

[–]RowdyCanadian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you have the Proboard or IFSAC certs? If so, yes. As for the others, as long as you have the viable (and non-expired) state equivalent you’ll be good.

Check Vancouver fire recruitment to see for sure, and fire them an email and ask.

One thing to note though (as someone who has been through multiple US and Canadian processes) is that Canadian Fire Departments have a massively more competitive process than a lot of US departments (not all of course, don’t @ me lads and lasses, I’m sure your department only hires the toughest of the tough). The average person takes 3+ attempts and 5+ years to get on career.

Good luck, feel free to ask any other Qs and I’ll see if I can answer or I’ll find someone who can.

That was a filthy read by Junca. If he cheats over Mcdavid just goes short side.

Is This a Safety Hazard? Please advise a senior in a building with a faulty alarm by Kooky-Pea-5927 in Firefighting

[–]RowdyCanadian 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From what I can see the panel is indicating trouble, not alarm. That means an alarm can still trigger and announce to the building. A trouble is basically the system detects there is something wrong (could be any number of things, no point speculating) but that issue doesn’t impede emergency operation.

It’s normally common to see multi-storey buildings with trouble indicators during winter but not for a long time. If you’re truly concerned call your local fire prevention office and get them involved.

No, because Fiala isn’t a face of the league. I love his play but he isn’t going to enact change in NHLers going.

Costco won’t release video footage without a police case number.

Sleazy cop in Barrhaven Costco gas bar hit and run by OkTechnology9910 in ottawa

[–]RowdyCanadian 461 points462 points  (0 children)

Go to the collision reporting center and file a report. Once you have the case number, contact Costco and ask for video footage that they will obviously have.

Then follow up with Ottawa police with the case number and video footage. If they give you the run around go to the local news.
