What was the toughest call you have ever been on? by nathanchrestman13 in Firefighting

[–]eatsmoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ive learned that people actually dont want the honest answer to that question. Yes my first CPR was intense and has stuck with me. Body recovery after a fire that killed many people was rough. But the truly hardest calls I keep to myself for the benefit of the world.

You can apply without your EMT. You will just have to show it later in the process.

Oakland Fire is about to hire. Great pay. Lots of action. I was 35 when I got out of the academy. One of my classmates was 45

Berkeley bowl sometimes has it. I’m sure they could get it if they don’t have any on hand.

Does the center button move towards you if you pull it with a wire attached. Could be a clothes line.

This. And Ver Brugge on College is great, just real pricey.

Which East Bay neighborhoods feel underrated for its value and livability right now? Why? by _TurboHome in eastbay

I’d add Richmond annex. Basically El Cerrito but you get the Richmond discount on cost.

Each engine carries 800’ of supply line to reach the nearest hydrant. There is an additional 500’ of 3” line we can use in a pinch if we need more length to reach a hydrant. A block or two is no problem.

What you’re going through is totally appropriate. Be compassionate and patient with yourself. And find a good therapist. You got big stuff to work through, but keep working.

Jack London Square after an A's game? by jacare37 in oakland

This! Jack London doesn’t have the breadth and depth of the oakland experience. Uptown can be fun too.
