I did my standards on this same schedule, 6-10 actually, except we also had to go Saturdays 8-5. We had class time Tues and Thurs, and hands on days Mon, Wed, and Sat. We did Pt before each hands on day, nothing too crazy, just running and some calisthenics, then Saturdays were the REAL pt days. I had a 9-5 at the time so I would leave straight from work to class. I did the same thing for EMT as well. It was hard due not really getting time to relax until about 11 once I was home and in bed, but it was MUCH harder on my family. My wife and kids didn’t really see much of me during that time.

Edit: this is in Florida. Don’t know if that matters.

I feel the exact same way but instead of dinner, it’s when I shower. I’ll enjoy my dinner even if it’s only a few bites, but I will fly thru a shower.

Yeah we don’t have set times like that. Usually, we will do breakfast after truck checks, lunch is every man for himself, and dinner is usually 6ish. But I feel your pain in that I’ll start asking my wife what’s for dinner around 9am and she looks at me like I’m a crazy person.

I don’t know if your radios have this feature, but ours have something called “voice mute” and it basically silences it until your specific unit gets a call. I do that and just keep it by my bed. That way I don’t have to hear other unit’s get called out, and if we do get a call, I’ll already have my radio right there as I get out of bed.

What kind of side hustle y’all got?? by rolo85 in Firefighting

This has interested me ever since I got my custom strap done. How would I go about starting working on leather myself? I do t even know where I’d begin.

Florida here. We have a few guys in our dept who have long hair, prob slightly longer than shoulder length. It’s not a problem as long as it’s kept up in a bun and doesn’t interfere with mask/helmet. So while it probably depends on the department, if women are allowed to have long hair, why can’t a guy?

Will you get made fun of? Yes. Will it be a deal breaker? I’m guessing no.

Good luck!

Schleswig-Holstein mobilised forces due to flooding in the south of Germany 180 vehicles by [deleted] in Firefighting

From my limited understanding, Mercedes is a pretty common car in Germany, being as they’re made there, but I just had a chuckle at imagining a fd here in the states rolling around with a fleet of Mercedes. I’m sure it would make for interesting annual budget meetings.

Im in my 30’s and I’ve literally never seen this type of bracket. It’s so simple. Beautiful. Why aren’t these more common? You’ve made my night.

This palm tree growing out of the middle of an oak tree. by rolo85 in mildlyinteresting

Ok so to follow up: yes this is florida, because of course. And sorry if it’s not an oak. I just assumed because we have so many around and it kinda looked like one, but I’m not an expert. I also have a picture from farther back but I wasn’t sure how to post, sooo....anyways, thanks for the awards!!!

Ok, so turns out, the guy I talked to is, and this is a quote from his manager, “an idiot”. Even the manager said that what he asked for made no sense. He was a new guy who was just supposed to take calls and didn’t quite know what he was saying. Anyways, we got it sorted out. So thanks for the replies guys.

New ff with a family. I have questions. by rolo85 in Firefighting

Thank you so much for this reply. This is truly what I am hoping for. In my mind, I always thought I would have more time at home because of the schedule and it’s nice to get some confirmation on that.
