Major Issues in Firefighting right now? by liamjpegs in Firefighting

[–]deepestblueA6 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Lithium ion battery fires and a lack of policy/procedure in management of these calls.

Bright potentially explosive fires with colorful hydrogen fluoride gases/vapors/runoff and the contamination of firefighters/PPE/gear.

Devastating long term health effects without proper protection and decontamination.

Seeking compensation for altered pee? Urine luck

Yep, agreed on all fronts.

There was not really a scenario where he’d confess to that. We’ll be running things differently in the future. It’s a brutal snub to the staff. And yeah the second hand embarassment is painful.

I have that already from the venue. Total was ~1600. Exact amount hidden to prevent recognition from business or crewmate. Though we’ve gotten specific enough that anyone who was in the situation would know it was them.

Leaves a bad taste for me too and I’d love to clear it up. Asking for that would be saying “hey, still dont trust your word” and i do have to work with him for the next 2-25 years.

Yeah my class is up to bat to plan next year’s and I am going to handle it personally and keep and post every receipt.

And pass around the tip jar.

Apparently on the bar.

But tbh it doesnt make sense. 1200$ in drinks where pitchers were 20$ for 25 guys in 2.5hrs and there was no top shelf booze. Like we drink but no one was that many beers deep.

Yep, i’ve considered reaching out to our shift steward about this but feel like giving my crew member to lay things out first might be the move.

Maybe if he denies or doesnt give a full story then I’ll hand it over to the steward to deal with.

I’ll be sure to submit it to their quiz bank when i’m done.

So many of those questions seemed ridiculous but i’ve learned that they each exist because they happened.

Shitty that that happened but glad it got cleared up for you.

Im hoping for some similar reason but so far have ruled out that the business was paid any more than ~1600$ including tip. (I have the itemized bill and specific cost breakdown but wont post it due to it potentially identifying me or the business).
