Reno Fire Department is the municipal fire and emergency services agency that protects the City of Reno, Nevada, United States. It provides fire and emergency response services to residents, businesses, and visitors throughout the city.
This department used to be a great department to work for. Over the years the new generation of the department has really ruined the quality. I used to really enjoy the job and now I feel like I am constantly babysitting the new guys. No one is passionate about the job, they are only passionate about the time off. The standards are almost non-existent now. Moral is in the toilet. The leadership is ultimately to blame. The department went from being a solid fire department to a department where anyone with no skills or experience can get hired and promoted. The issue is from the top all the way down. It’s sad to see this department degrade significantly over the last 10 years.
Well my RFD has been hijacked by douche bags like under qualified and ethic violation Dave Cochran and his wanna be frat boy legacy hired son Sam. Our moral is at an all time low. We have been hiring DEIs in recruiting classes. Not to mentioned the academy cadre is a bunch or morons that don’t even teach these recruits how to be firemen. Instead of being the tip of the spear for northern Nevada we are the just barely clinging on like the homeless **** on a bums ass. From broken trucks to a lack of pride in the job, this department is the last place I would apply if I were to do it all over again. Unfortunately, I’m too far in to make a change now. 3 more years until I am retired and I’m counting it down!
