Well I used to run with a volunteer fire dept for about 4 years. I moved 120 miles away about 3 years ago and never got with the fire dept here. Well I have been helping them out....and this weekends just been soooo long. In the last 72 hours I think weve averaged about 8 hours of sleep. Weve been to a bunch of brush fires, a semi fire and i went on a rollover with my regular job.

 

Damd, bro... slow down and take some time to rest.

 

Dam TX, you're keeping busy. That sounds like a hell of a good time tho'.. I used to drive tow truck and would rotate on city and state call, man some of those scenes were almost too much. Loved rolling up on them tho'..

At least being busy, keeps you out of trouble!!

 

yeah the guys i run with here harassing me calling me a rookie...till i mentioned the fact that i had more experience than one of them. Usually its just 2 or 3 people most that respond to fire calls....so I had to help my buds out. Now im trying to get my laundry done

 

So are you on at the FD full time now, or just helping out.. That's a full plate. Just the EMT alone is enough to keep you tired.

 

its volunteer but im a full fledged member

 

that's cool...being a volunteer, do you get to choose when you want to be on call?

 

yes and no. I told them that since im on call for ems 24 hours a day 5 days a week that i would mostly be available when im off....but if something bad comes up to call me and ill see about getting off for a bit.

 

Holy crap! When do you find time to ride? Its awesome that you volunteer your time though!

 

How do you think I get to work and to the fire station?
