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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BefT4z3t9s Thanks, FF Matt Guidry Broussard Fire Dept. Broussard, LA
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. 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
