the 100% directionless thread

Holy moly crazy night so far. I was running on the treadmill, we got a fire alarm (turned out to be someone cooking set off their smoke detector). I had to run upstairs from our basement gym from the middle of my run, but the other FF with me was jogging out on the road, and was about as far away from station as his route took, he had to sprint back!

After we got back to station, I decided to finish my run on the treadmill... halfway thru my run, boom, structure fire call! For an actual fire too!

1st alarm apt fire, we were 4th in (outa 4)

It was mostly just smoking... while I did get to shoot water at a couple small hot spots, mostly we did Salvage and Overhaul (cleaning up the mess we made, bringing in shop vacs ro vacuum up the excess water after cutting some holes in the ceiling to make sure the fire wasn't still going outa site)
 
Ought to run on the treadmill more often Jimbo.
 
Two hours of BJJ tonight. I was tired after one hour. Moving feels funny lol.
 
Holy crap this thread is still going???? I remember when this was started like 10 plus year ago.

Yeah, I started out in LA, worked a variety of BLS IFT and BLS 911 both as an Ambulance Operator at Glendale Fire for a bit, and with Gerber, later McCormick Ambulance), until I got hired by Honolulu Fire Department, moved out here roughly year and a half ago now. I do miss my family and friends back in LA... but am much happier working here lol!

Same thing for me except I took a DoD paramedic job in Georgia. Now I’m getting into competitive shooting as a hobby.
 
My IFT - despite the week-long weather forecast - has no snow plan and we are snowed in. They just asked if anyone at the base had cash to pay a plow driver.
 
First day of nursing classes tomorrow... never thought that I'd go to nursing school.

Not to worry. You don't have to be crazy to become a nurse. We'll train you... starting tomorrow!

Well... Last calls over a radio for someone you knew (even if only briefly), suck.
 
Put in for a PRN hospital job. We'll see how I like being on the other side of the fence from time to time.
