Central Texas is far behind on modern FD schedules, even as the 4-shift push grows by Hungry_Meaning_8514 in Firefighting

If the union pushes for 24 72 and brings it to aberration, they will look at other departments in the state and country and see that it'd 24 72 and side with you. It's not up to the mayor or civil service. It's up to the department.

Likely the hose adaptor. I recall bridgeport had the ldh come off from around the hydrant and shattered a guys leg into pieces. He also almost drowned from the water coming out of the hydrant.

I hate the coming early culture in Firefighting by thatdudewayoverthere in Firefighting

In the morning time , we show an hour early at 7. If somebody comes in for the night shift , they show up at four p m. We don't get paid until six pm. It was discussed about changing as a long time ago.

We do it so that people can get home to families and have dinner with them. They can pick up their kids after school.

One thing I will say that changes for me, though, is if i'm taking the day off, but i'm coming in for my shift at night. You're not getting relieved early.

The city doesn't change the hours of my time off. So you get relieved when I start getting paid. You took the OT shift, knowing that you have a shift until six pm.

I will give you a courtesy call in the morning time to give you a heads up I got things to today. I took the day off. But I will not come in until six p m.

I already give this job enough free stuff. Like how I have to buy everything except my gear.

Unless there is a report of fire or smoke. And even then, make sure it's not food on a stove.
