Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Hello fellow FF goons! I'm still green (just coming up on my 1st year) and finally decided to go look for a firefighting thread on the forums.

The reason being: We had our yearly Heavy Rescue training here in Ohio over the weekend. One of the instructors showed me a really great video on youtube, and now I can't find it for the life of me.
The instructor in the video was very reminiscent of a Drill Instructor. He tells the trainees that "When someone calls 911, they get you. You show up. There is no 1011, you don't call anyone, you have to figure it out". The video is about having to figure things out on a scene, and using your training and knowledge to get things done when you may not have encountered them before.
Then he asks if they have ever seen an alien riding a unicorn, to which they reply "no". He goes on and says something like "One day, someone is going to see an alien riding a unicorn. And they are gonna call 911, and that's YOU. There is no 1011, so you have to figure out what to do with an alien riding a unicorn!"
If anyone knows what I'm talking about or has a link to the video, I'd appreciate it.


Edit: Someone on Reddit found it:

2nd shift today. My supervisor instated mandatory training (1h) for 1st and 2nd shifts on weekends. We get to pick the training topic, so pump operations it is.

So someone thought it would be cool to tear up my IAFF sticker on my truck. I'm not a Union member, I'm just a part time Firefighter, but I display the IAFF sticker in a show of solidarity and support for all the Union guys and the amount of rear end they bust every day. The fact that someone thought it was ok to try to tear up the symbol has me heated. Notice they left the Star of Life alone.
