For those of you with nomex uniforms.... anybody got any tips on getting tree sap out? Regular laundry and even the big, heavy duty PPE extractor at the station did nothing to remove the stuff.

I read online about using rubbing alcohol, but I don't wanna damage the fire resistant properties of my uniform

They have tree sap in Hawaii... or Oahu I should say.

I wouldn't think you'd have a problem with rubbing alcohol I mean I've cleaned my nomex pants with Sani-Wipes when I've gotten blood on them, plus *controversial statement* I don't wear my station pants under my bunker gear.

Edit: the extractor probably did more damage to the pants than rubbing alcohol would do... those thing while yes they do a good job at removing carcinogens and other crap, but they're also good at ****ing **** up too.

Yeah, true, I suppose I could try a small spot first, just wanted to check to see if anyone is like "Noooo!!! Dont do that!" First haha

I don't wear my station pants under my bunker gear.

Lol, only did that once or twice before I was like "too damn hot to do that".

My Christmas 96 is over. Much happy to be home. We were busy on Christmas, got skunked two of the other days, and I left as a storm rolled in. Last shift with my partner who's off to P school too :/.

Wondering if there will be anything left of the fleet when I return to work on Tuesday? Snow and freezing rain today. Two trucks down so far due to crashes.

If LSU could quit beating up my Sooners that'd be great.

Yeh, um, they’re just too damn good. Oklahoma is not on their level.

Yeah I know, I was not expecting OU to beat LSU... still doesn't make it any easier.

New couch, new fridge, and new duplex ftw. Officially halfway through my ride time so should be cleared by mid-January. Enjoying life

@SandpitMedic good call on the Wellbutrin.

You're welcome.
I guess PA education ain't all that bad.

Came to a job, there are a boy and a girl, about 9 or 10, playing outside by the door.

Me: Go tell Mommy that I’m here.
Kids: Oh, we don’t live here.
Me: What are you doing then, robbing the place ?
Kids: Nooo, we came to see a friend...

The boy proceeds telling the story of their lives.

Me: So basically, you’re robbing the place.
Boy: NOOOOOOO !
Me: It’s ok, I won’t tell anyone if you cut me in.

The boy goes on yet another tirade about blah-blah-blah, but the girl seems intrigued. I can see the cognitive gears starting to turn. Thankfully, the client came out just in time to interrupt the criminal master plan.

Now I feel like I created a monster [emoji2361]

Dang, Kauai has had their first traffic fatality of the New Year already. A motorcyclist was trying to overtake an ambulance responding to a call, and when the ambulance made a left turn, motorcyclist broadsided the unit

Story hasn't confirmed if the unit was responding lights and sirens, but AMR is the sole provider on that island.

39-year-old motorcyclist is Kauai's first traffic fatality of 2020
