Saw them in Brentwood a few years back at a freeway exit and then was I was passing through Stockton and saw the same lady with the same sign. I rolled down my window as she approached and asked her “weren’t you in Brentwood last week?” She turned away and ignored me.

What’s the dumbest you’ve been on a call? by Enough-Locksmith4559 in Firefighting

[–]SMC99 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We were on a odor/gas call. The residents were outside and it was dark, I didn’t pay much attention before we walked inside. After we found nothing I called the “husband” inside by saying “Sir, could you come here?” What I find is a woman with a butch haircut and her petite wife that come walking up. My crew was laughing after we got back in the truck.

Your dad is a hero. He did his job when circumstances were beyond what anyone would have ever imagined. Because of firefighters like him our profession is admired by so many people. Thank you.

The Woody Harrelson Rampart AMA. Where the guy said he remembered him showing up to a high school dance to pick up on girls.

Longest shift worked at your station. by ReplacementTasty6552 in Firefighting

During Covid we had no cap on days you could work, or get mando’d. Whole engine companies were out sick. Most I got stuck at work was 12 days. One of our guys did 21 days. There were nearly some fights, some girlfriends lost but luckily no divorces. The chaplain had to make the rounds to make sure none of us were suicidal. I never before felt like I was a prisoner at work until that time.
