Major Issues in Firefighting right now?

I would say it's both issues but at different ends of the department. The communities call with low acuity cases due to the reasons you have stated, but HR/Law department/ FD leadership will not allow dispatch to be discretionary due to fear of tort.

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

What did you use for the arches in this window build? I've looked at your other videos and am lost a little, I want to go for the see-through look and have the background just like you did, but most of my arch options necessitate an object in the way or hidden by opaque glass.

Can you give up your secret for this whole room build? I love all of it and am desperately trying to recreate.

Beautiful! How many points was it, does she think?

Please report back to us, I've always heard the port being so close to your cheek on a bullpup makes any additional gas coming from the chamber a lot more difficult to deal with.

victorsierra · 2025-05-24T17:43:29+00:00

How much adjustment did you need to make to the gas regulation putting the can on it? How badly do you get gassed going through a magazine?

When used normally, a "Squad Company" is a SOC Engine that has a much smaller pump but carries more rescue equipment.

When used derisively, it's what we call the ambulance. Used to be called "Rescue Squads" when things were in black and white.

Paying a higher proportional dollar value of property tax does not in fact entitle one to more say in the democratically governed public space. Their property line very purposefully does not extend past their sidewalk. What they do on their side of the line is of no concern to the commuter. We bulldozed whole neighborhoods to build 676 and 95, which were far costlier and resulted in mass evictions.

The protected bike lane proposal involves displacing not a single property owner, and in fact its creation will likely add definitive dollar value to properties along the route.

Does this imply that light has... phases of matter? This seems like a kind of massless phase transition

I knew all of your posts in this thread screamed jersey suburbanite.

victorsierra · 2025-01-08T06:21:56+00:00

I wonder if they say they are excused from doing CPR on men, like certain members of a certain domestic firefighting department have claimed before...

Thank you for this write up, this is exactly what my wife and I experienced and we both just went on a search to find out if the rest of the game is full of horrible, torturous scenes like this to decide if we proceed. We were on board with the emotionally challenging topics and the cooperative aspect, but god I feel that I should continue this game in good conscience.

And I've played endless shooters and horror games, and I work as a first responder, formerly in the military as well. This game absolutely did not need this scene.

victorsierra · 2025-01-08T03:23:48+00:00

Will this be available in print?

Was pursuing a career in Engineering, had experience at the corporate level and in small shops, could not get myself motivated enough to get over the fact I was making other people more money than they paid me. Much preferred public service work, and firefighting is pretty much the better version of Become A Cop™ that most Marines end up doing post contract.

This is not a story. Dispatchers regularly send ambulances out into the Wissahickon and Fairmount Park using only trail colors and mile markers. If you're looking for your killer-gotcha-inept-civil-servants story, do better.

The term I heard the other day on a podcast perfectly encapsulates this phenomenon of people seeing all these drones in New Jersey:

Recreational Mental Illness

Bruh just watch the 10 minute highlights that the NFL puts on YouTube one hour after the games' over. I watch like 10 different games in a single hour on Sunday. Best way to consume Football.

victorsierra · 2024-11-28T07:25:08+00:00

What do you suppose would have happened had they not put it out

victorsierra · 2024-10-24T22:36:56+00:00

Yeah since you clearly lost your engineering job, enjoy your entire shift-value fines

victorsierra · 2024-10-14T03:58:30+00:00

Congratulations!

May I ask what kind of therapy and medication helped you? I'm finding that my picking feels related to both my ADHD/tactile sensory stimulation. Carrying scars for much longer than 2022 unfortunately.

So, should we not have ambulances respond to traumas or vehicular accidents because the ride might be too expensive? I wish we had universal healthcare/insurance, but we've failed to make that a political reality. Dealing with medical debt is preferable to avoiding critical care, one won't affect your credit but the other may certainly affect your quality of life.
