Firefighters have always had my respect and I have quite a few friends who are or used to be firefighters. In most decent sized cities in Texas, they're all paid and make a pretty decent wage. With the work rotation a lot have second jobs as well and pull in bank. In the Navy we all get trained firefighting to some extent. It's a bit different than what you guys do, but handling a 200+ gpm hose is pretty much universal. Those things are fun.

Reign Of Pain posted:What do you guys do when you go into a burning home that has live ammo in it? Is it possible to get shot from ammo that's burning up? Shrapnel from the casings is the biggest issue with ammo cooking off. Unless it's in a barrel doesn't shoot rounds at you.

Feel free to always come in and post cool pictures who gives a gently caress if you're a fireman or not.

yeah those are all awesome too. They seem mundane and routine to you but that poo poo is great.

The favorite part of the job of every firefighter I've known is the complete and unquestioned ability to just break poo poo as necessary to get their job done.

firehose through car window is still one of the best. Spring loaded center punches are awesome.

I'm not a firefighter myself. My second job ever was working as a mover for a firefighter that ran a moving business on his days off. He showed us how effective one of those center punches was on tempered glass. Does fuckall to laminated glass though.

Thermal cameras are loving cool as poo poo and we got to use them when doing firefighting training on the ship.

Did you guys laugh as much as I did when you read about the private hanger in California flooding half an airport with AFFF? Good times.
