    Hey guys we made a video "A Day in Our Life" about the things we have to deal with on a day to day basis. Being a firefighter may sound fun and cool, it is but it is also very stressful. Check out the video and let me know what you guys think.

    Cool. Who chose the music?

    So are you guys volunteer then? I have to say I think that's the first commercial cab ladder truck I've ever seen.

    I'm a firefighter / EMT with Whatcom County FD 14 in Kendall WA. We're an all volunteer station with about 22 firefighters and we run right around 450 calls a year. Keeps me out of bars as they say. Nice to see another firefighter on here. :D

    Meh, not uncommon. tough crowd.

    Yes and No. Mon-Fri 8-5 we have 2 guys working and the rest is all volunteer(30 i think). We have 3 stations with 8 trucks, 1 ariel, 3 pumpers 1 tanker, 1 rescue, 1 brush truck, and 1 truck we use for errands and whatnot.

    Check us out. http://www.broussardfire.org

    oh btw our department collects patches, if you have one we could purchase lemme know.

    Cool video.

    I remember when they did the fake accident at our school, it was crazy scary.

    I though about volunteering, but I'm not in shape :(
