This Dept is not for soft people.
We make fires. We are aggressive. We put the public above ourselves. Station level officers are fantastic. It’s the administration that forgot where they came from.
You will participate in reinventing the wheel every year. For whatever reason we like to pay money to other scrubs from nowhereville depts for strategies and tactics that are less useful than our standard practices.
Our apparatus breaks down like a lot and we don’t have frontline reserves ready so be prepared to trade out.
Station level is fantastic. There will be days when you get beat down with calls. You’ll make great memories. The camaraderie is in this dept and your co workers care about you.
You will be asked to complete a vast array of online work that does not pertain to the job what so ever. I cannot name the current one because we switch so often. There is a lot of annoying cyber security that literally no other department in the nation has to deal with.
We make fire.
If you’re not important you can’t get away with breaking the rules. Sorry.
We spend a lot of money on useless stuff. Like can we just get some spare bunker gear. Your gear will start falling apart. The pay isn’t great. We actually have a 10 city study and we are constantly on the lower end of the other city salaries. Paramedic pay we are the lowest.
The Union will have your back.
