Firefighter humor can seem rough to outsiders but if you knew how hard we work at this job,even us volunteers,you understand that people who work hard have to let off steam after seeing some of the things that we do on the job.
The saying"If we weren't laughing,we'd be crying"is very applicable here.
I don't want to scare you off but you can and will see things that make you go home and grab your kids tighter than usual.
The thing is to learn how to deal with it and ask for help if you need it.THis applies to CISD,or just working around the station.Family means that no firefighter does a two man task by themselves,or has to work out trouble alone.Ask and you will hear all kinds of advice and help.
