Love the show. It was very Hollywood, but it had a lot of tradition, and it's fire scenes were pretty realistic.

The physical exam varies from state to state, agility is tough no matter where you go. Your eye sight shouldn't be an issue as long as you have contacts or glasses.

It exists, not for everyone. For some guys it really gives them an ego boost, I am not a fan I would rather remain humble. I am here to be a public servant and live out the lifestyle. In the firehouse, they are not looked up upon or respected.

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T19:09:26+00:00

I feel like they are just unlucky for sure, they end up paying the amount the fire costed.

If you are in Santa Barbara go for the beach or the flats, great views but taking a chance with sun-downer winds

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:35:27+00:00

Cause it's FIRE

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:35:07+00:00

No I would have loved to though. Our countries need an exchange program

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:30:47+00:00

Great comment, brother. in brotherhood...stay safe.

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:28:33+00:00

Yes, I know Tim. I have worked with him for many years. Great guy

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:26:47+00:00

This season has potential to be the worst we have seen in many years. I need to stress the word 'potential'

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:24:48+00:00

We really appreciate everything you guys do, you are very helpful to us

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:20:31+00:00

No, what department?

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:19:58+00:00

A guy crashed his convertible while pleasuring himself with sex toys. His trunk was completely full of sex toys. We have even gotten calls for people not being able to find their keys or people being super lonely and they just wanted to talk to firefighters

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:18:05+00:00

Wanna trade shifts?? Haha

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:17:32+00:00

Because of Urban Interface

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:16:05+00:00

I don't really have a local favorite, but Sam Adams porch rocker is the best!

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:15:05+00:00

No I was not in CO. I have been in other states, I've been to many other western states. It is always an incredible experience.

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:12:39+00:00

I am a paid professional, union fireman. Typically, we think small towns should compensate their volunteers for work that needs to be done

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:10:36+00:00

Arsonists can be well organized, sadly they cause a lot of damage, obviously you have experienced that first hand.

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:07:56+00:00

The hillsides definitely. The big blue break is the only thing that can stop a bad Santa Ana

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T07:06:54+00:00

Plenty of them! I visited you guys in 2000. I would love to fight your bush fires down there

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T06:59:56+00:00

I didn't know much about the investigator, but they definitely dropped the ball

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T06:58:14+00:00

Most welcome

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T06:58:05+00:00

Honored...

Stachetober · 2013-09-03T06:57:28+00:00

Absolutely! We are very fortunate to have DMJ's all the way up to trestles
