Your girlfriend says she tells you this all the time.

Well I'm a newbie on here today so here I am!

Welcome to the forums.

[LADDER2EKU]

I needed my sunglasses.

I never claimed to be a grizzled veteran. I have 16 years in small-town volunteer fire service. I'm talking about PPE. How do you figure people are likely to get hurt by listening to little old inexperienced me and wearing full, modern PPE?

Here's a guy with some experience who saw in 1976 that getting one's ears burned isn't fun.

Sorry, but I had to dig this up. Somehow, I missed this article back in '76, but it was relevant then, and it's still relevant today. Laurel is just a bit north of us and we run their boxes on the 2nd or 3rd alarm. I've had the the good fortune to know Dr. Clark for quite some time, and VERY few other people (except Chief Billy G.) in our business share his passion for safety. In his time, Burt has gone from Rookie to Chief Officer, Picked up a Doctorate along the way, and found a position teaching at the National Fire Academy. Not too shabby for a guy who ALWAYS wants all of us to go home safely after every job. I'm all for tradition, but we can be traditional and safe at the same time. EastKy, thanks for finding this.

Wow now I realize why no one likes these forums anymore. I'm a junior and I'm more mature than that.

DUDE! Seriously! If you have been around the fire department for any amount of time you would realize that this is normal firehouse kidding. If I were to say this at the station I would never live it down and the guys would be saying stuff much worse than this.

I don't mean to personally attack you, I thought it was just funny. I'm pretty sure thats what the rest of the guys thought too.

[JHR1985]

no... I was doing a personal attack.

Wow, somebody apparently can't take a little ribbing. Me thinks you need some thicker skin if you want to last around here, or anywhere for that matter if you get that upset over those comments. That's just me though.

I would be fine with it if you made it a little less straight forward with a smiley face or something like it, unless you have no character at all like JHR1985 but thats just me.

I just don't like it at all when I say something like that and they go off on the inappropriate tangent.

And snowball, I am a junior and I still eat fire, I will be doing interior attack in just a few weeks, and I am 16. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. It's completely legal too.

Someone PLEASE shoot me!


You must either be the only guy on your department or just really unaware of your surroundings because if that comment was made in any firehouse I have ever set foot in, you would be catching alot worse. Just brush it off.

How exactly do you eat fire if you've never been inside a fire?

Oh, and I don't care if you're 16 and can go interior. In that short amount of time, you don't even have enough crust to clean some of the guys boots on here.


I would say put that in your pipe and smoke it, but I'm not into that stuff.

Umm... Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
You said you hate when people go off on "inappropriate tangents", right? So telling someone they have no character or to "put that in you pipe and smoke it" aren't "inappropriate tangents"?

A 16 year old doing interior attack... Sounds like another bad/horror headline/story from Billy G. over at FFCloseCalls.

Who ever shoots RFRD, please, take me first.

How about you just shut the fcuk up, sit the fcuk down, and listen the fcuk up.

The only thing you eat is what mommy cooks for you you little punkass.
In a few weeks, you can do nothing more then come polish my boots, and hand me a gatorade bottle!
If that is the attitude that you have as a little punkass highschooler, I can not WAIT to read your LODD report.
Contrbuting factors;
No training
Lack of experience
Physically and menatally un prepared
WAKE UP JUNIOR!!
This is no game, this is real life! There is no redo, there is no oops, lemme do it again. You fcuk up, you, or someone else DIES!

Grow up, and fetch me a Gatorade. I like blue.

I know I would like to volunteer for a department that broke child labor laws

I believe that the junior firefighter section DOES apply that is unless your department doesn't have to follow those

Dude, CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Let me be the first to buy you a cold beer!

Oh, wait...You can't even LEGALLY drink a beer for another 5 years, can you?

You're a freakin' junior! Get over yourself!

You've got a hell of a lot of growing up to do, kid!
