Actually there was a fire in one of the reports about 3 weeks ago. There was another last week but I think it was just a drill. But your point is still valid.
If I was a EMT I would be pissed. Bust your a$$ 24/7 while Jim's Boyz of metro drive around in circles and tell everyone how they wielding hard. Oh that's right they do change light bulbs.
The fires aren't listed because you chose not to put them there. The firemen are currently on an accident scene where people are trapped. 8 victims total. They're working hard to help others while you you're running them down. Do or say something positive for once in your life.
11:51 I'm sick of you all saying we are not posting the fires. We go to the SFD website and get our information off the live run log. If the fire is not listed there we can't post it here now can we? Enough of your lies.
Instead of complaining about the paid firefighters why don’t you volunteer at your local Fire Department? This is what you need to get started. IS-00100 – 3 hours IS-00200 – 16 hours IS-00700 – 3 hours IS-00800 – 3 hours CPR – 3 hours Blood borne Pathogens – 3 hours Infection Control – 3 hours EMT – 165 hours Fire Fighter 1 – 108 hours Fire Fighter 2 – 60 hours Emergency Vehicle Operator Class – 39 hours Pumps – 30 hours Haz-Mat Operations – 24 hours That is 460 hours of training, you will need additional training to become an Officer.

Don't let this lying sack of crap tell you this is all you need to get started. And even if it was it can be taken over several years. It can't be taken all at once. Most firefighters only take about 3 hours of training a week once it does get started. This is just a scare tactic to prevent volunteers from joining. Scare tactics is the only thing paid firemen can do to really justify their jobs.
How is a list of training hours a scare tactic? That list is the basics, it would be enough to function as a well rounded volunteer or paid fighter. Training hours will never replace experience, but you have to start with classes.
In all the SFD postings I have YET TO READ A FIRE RESPONSE.
ReplyDeleteI am confused where are all the fires that justified hiring all those new firemen with that free grant money?

ReplyDeleteI got an ambulance bill the other day and there was a charge for extra manpower from a fire truck?

A paid farmin attacking the volunteers at Station 1. If we had a real mayor he would clean house starting at the top.
