@hargett3129 2 года назад

One thing to add is paperwork and planning. Every call you respond you’ll do some type report about that call and that could take a few minutes to maybe an hour or two depending on the nature and severity of the call. Planning goes with the training, for my department, we have to plan out some of our training and coordinate it either other departments or owners of properties where we may get a residential structure and use it to run scenarios in. To conclude, there’s a lot a seat time as well but it involves paperwork even down to budgets and how we’re gonna spend the tax payers money to provide a better service to them as well as to maintain our safety as well.

Thank you for a very informative and educational discussion of fire service. I was able to attend a 10 week citizen's fire academy in my home town. We met once a week and had the opportunity to spend up to six hours at a station (I went to all 13) and go on ride outs. Cool stuff for civilian to ride with lights and siren going. I saw first hand how my tax dollars were being spent to safeguard my town. Big lesson learned is in my town 70% of calls are for medical/rescue service. Not many fire calls at all which is a good thing. I recommend that one take advantage of a citizen fire academy if offered.

Loved this. I feel like there wasn’t enough emphasis on rescue services… I feel like what firefighters are probably doing most often is rescuing people from variations of calamity. Like you said, that’s primarily medical services, but secondarily… It seems like y’all are saving people from sketchy scenarios more often than you’re fighting fires - car accidents, etc. So, in order of occurrence, it seems like the proper title for firefighters would be: Paramedic Rescue Fire Someone please chime in if that’s inaccurate.

@randomobserver8168 Год назад

Civilian here- I live in Ottawa, Canada. As far as I can tell from occasionally seeing them in action, we have a top notch fire department here. I sort of knew a fair bit of what you covered here, but great to see all this packaged in a solid format and laid out for us. Fire departments are a public service I'm more than happy to see well funded, whatever the nature of most of the calls and even if more of it is training, preparation and prevention than actively fighting fires. Plus, when I was a kid in the 70s in school and we had fire safety training or emergency training we were always told to expect the fire department first, cops second and ambulance last. This was not a dig at the ambulance service/paramedics [which were new then here- but I guess following developments in the US quickly] but just that they were and largely remain a separate service from the fire department up here and their stations are not as numerous. Or at least differently spread out. I don't know whether this is a strategy or just an institutional legacy- but it seemed to be the system in the two cities I've lived in at least- Toronto and Ottawa. Anyway, they taught us that firefighters would almost always show up first to most 911 calls unless crime-specific, and that those firefighters would have at least some medic capacity for those kinds of emergencies. So somehow how I had the idea very early on that firefighters would provide at least some emergency medical help. Thanks again for really educational content.

Hey mike, I had a question, so I just had a interview for a entry level wildland fire position and I felt ok during my interview by all means not great. I was super nervous and felt like I had to get my words out as fast as possible and in doing so I totally missed some of the points I was going to say. I have been practicing for weeks rehearsing the questions doing mock interviews and so on but when I got there it all went out the window and the questions that were given to me were different than what I have been preparing for. How do I not be nervous and anxious as hell when talking so someone when it really matters and how can I improve when it comes to adapting to questions?

@mike_pertz 3 года назад

Great question, and honestly I don't know of any special way to do that other than prepare. Be so prepared you can answer in your sleep. Also, don't forget the people you're interviewing in front of are JUST PEOPLE.

You didn't mention we have to pay for our own cable TV / streaming service. I share my netflix and hulu info for ppl at work so if they want to watch something they don't have to pay. That made a few friends. The cool thing about firefighters though is there are a lot of people with different skills. Work with a guy who is a lineman for a power company, he carries his pole spikes on the engine and can cut off power to a building if needed instead of waiting for a utility company. Some guys know plumbing so can fix or improve things in the station. Could go on, but most FF are pretty technically inclined people. Sometimes we pull meters, but as far as I know that is not suggested

One major reason that fire departments started doing education at elementary schools is so that they'll recognize what a firefighter looks like during a fire. Imagine being a 6 year old, and you wake up to smoke, you don't know what to do, and all of a sudden the door busts open and this big man in a scary suit and mask comes in. It's scary. The hope is that they'll recognize that the fire fighter is there to help, so they won't go and hide.

Here in New Hampshire, my scanner has taught me the following. Structure fires {for us} are rare, it's certainly not the old days. But every day stuff? Here goes .... Overdoses .... Homeless fires .... MVA's .... Rollovers {thanks, SUVs} .... Psych issues, stage for PD .... And, of course, mutual aid. If YOU'RE not busy you are helping someone else who is. Lastly, as a taxpayer, I still think it's insane to send a million dollar tower out on a lift assist. I know that truck has to show that it just doesn't sit around, but that's a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on a very expensive vehicle.

@dominidesiderio 2 года назад

Likely that is part of that dedicated trucks responsibilities. Your Engines are also million dollar trucks as well so if the department is not dedicating a service vehicle for medicals it will fall to a very expensive piece of equipment. I would also say that as a tax payer you might not believe they should be using some vehicles just to be using it, but you need to know what happens when a good truck/engine sits. They can get checked every morning but if the truck check is all that vehicle ever gets, it will quickly begin having leaks and need maintenance when it is run. Likely, these small calls are saving you the tax payer money in the form of saving on maintenance problems from sitting all the time.

@news603redux 2 года назад

@@dominidesiderio While I certainly agree that sitting for prolonged periods is the worst thing you can do to a vehicle, between stills, MVA's, blocking etc., everything gets used plenty.

@@news603redux depends on what your local department has. My city doesn't even have service vehicles like that so everything is a big expensive apparatus.

@lisaball1701 3 года назад

In my opinion, the one thing of firefighting shift whether it’s 12, 24 or 48 hours long, you don’t always know what’s in stock for the day. You have your routine expected responsibilities like which are discussed in the video such as apparatus and equipment checks, station cleaning and maintenance duties, physical fitness training, company job training, and maybe some kind of public event and a planned break for breakfast lunch and dinner. Muddled among that is interruption for calls which are our main priority. Usually it’s up to the station/company officer to manage the time to prioritize the tasks, allow the guys and gals to recharge or things to fix. We like to recharge after a long shift, so we get as much done as possible on the front end of our shift, to recharge as much as we can or allow time gaps if we get super busy.

Doesn't matter trying to explain. Just tell ignorant people, 'yes your right, and you are paying me'.

This is a lot of jobs and professions... Everybody assumes no one but them does anything. A lot of jobs have a whole non-obvious part to them.

It’s true I think firefighters most of the day just sit around and watch TV I would probably say depends on the day depends on the weekend but I would say Monday through Thursday firefighters probably spend four out of the eight hours just sitting around I have no idea but that’s what I just think

With all do respect, fire unions fought against doing anything but fight fires. Cities said fine we are laying you off because of decreased fire load Tada! Forced into to other calls. New Jersey.

That likely wasn't an issue with not knowing what Firefighters do. That was an issue of a person who was embarred by the fact that they required assistance. It's a stereotypical psychological response.
