like they're hte guys who put lights on their lifted f-350 and have police/fire scanners and answer them even though they have no connection other than they paid $50 to apply to be a firefighter and failed out so they get to join the 'volunteers'

I live a few blocks from a fire station, and the firefighters always get lunch at the same grocery store where I shop. They're always incredibly nice, including showing my kid all the different parts of the truck, ringing the bell and honking the horn for them. Today some of them stopped by my daycare's garage sale and were really nice.

The last time I was in NYC, some firefighters invited me and my kid onto their truck to show us the driver's cab.

Firefighters seem pretty chill to me.

to be honest I'm not even sure what the argument is anymore. iv been drinking and I think a drone killed smokey the bear and the only solution is to arm firefighters and fireplanes with heavy weaponry

you've never been around a 20 year old volunteer firefighter who wears his full outfit minus the jacket everywhere and loudly announces he's a volunteer firefighter everywhere he goes to see if he can get a discount/girl's number.

poseur rear end wears those green pants and yellow jacket and brags about fighting fires picking up girls though he's never been on a fire line

during firefighting runs the aircraft are operating at the absolute limits of safe flight. even a cheap plastic quadcoper in the wrong spot is quite capable of damaging a control surface, a prop, or worst case being ingested by a turbine causing a flameout right when maximum power is needed.

feels like there ought to be a better way. like, I'm barely using my domestic water supply most of the day, maybe all we need is an app that lets people like me connect with people whose homes are burning down and private contractors who operate water-carrying drones

Hello All,
My name is Mohamed, and I am a jail guard!

After a year or so reading HN, I finally made an account! This place is overwhelmingly full of smart people, and I sometimes feel out of place! I have learned a great deal from all of you. With this said, I am embarking on a two year journey to apply to YC in FALL of 2017. I have given myself this arbitrary timeline to motivate myself.

You see, I am a total noob. I'm about to enroll in an online coding bootcamp. This is to grasp enough CS/coding experience so I can graduate from the proverbial 'I'm looking for a technical co-founder' dilemma, and to build the MVP on my own. What I become, for better or worse, is how I will attract the right people to tell my story and grow a company together. In the meantime, I am working on myself first and learning each day from all of you. I am excited to begin this marathon I call starting a startup.

bird strikes pretty often fatally damage the engines of md-87-sized planes like the ones in that article's video. you don't think the drones reportedly floating around/following the planes might be made of tougher stuff than a goose?

i bet a goose could kill a drone

the ca wildfire dept needs to train some geese to attack drones to keep airspace clear.

this is actually a p good post for what it is, instead of "I have an idea, I need a technical co-founder, sign this NDA to learn more" he's actually giving himself two years to learn to code and to prototype his idea himself

we'd have less of a bubble and fewer poo poo companies if more people took his path

of course his idea is probably something like "Tinder, but with Bitcoin" because we just can't have nice things, can we?
