No, Im not a firefighter, I just know all the trucks we have, this summer I went to all the stations to look at them all.

[Red_Devil]

went to all the fire stations and took inventory of the trucks, ohhhhh kkkkkkkkkk.......I mean i think you mean well..but buddy thats a little to extreme and weird if you ask me

[LFD_FF17]

I didn't go there just to look at the trucks. I went to talk to the guys and ask about what I should do to help get hired. And I think me going to fire stations and getting info about the job and good things to do to help me get hired is better then me going out drinking or doing drugs or stupid shit like that. But seriously if you are just gonna jump on my back about everything I say, then shut up. I am just here to have fun and learn more about other departments.

wow take a chill pill pal, besides im just teasing ya, and hey if you cant handle that kind of ribbing, you in for a hell of a time if you ever get hired kid.

[LFD_FF17]

Whatever. The only thing is all I ever see you doing is critizicing people. And I know that rookies get teased and shit in fire halls but I don't think thats all that happens to them.

There's more of it than you may think :)

Besides, there's a *good* side to teasing and practical jokes in the hall: It shows that by being a good sport about it, you're a team player - Who the heck wants to be on the line with someone who does nothing but complain - or spend five hours on a frozen river next to a porta-pump with someone with no sense of humour ?

Seriously, rather than whine at Red about his teasing you, give some thought to turning the joke around - much funnier for everyone that way :)

Try this:


Red Devil:

You:


About as weird as running into a burning building when everyone is running out, eh ?


:)

[wilderness]

your never going to let me forget that you sat on the river and froze....ooow wait a minute............................................ .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. ..... boooo whooooo monkey piss.......

[Whitewater_419]

Nah, I'm not complaining at all - Given how stiff I was for a couple of days after the barn fire, it made me realize that there are some benefits to getting the quiet, low-action jobs :)

In Hamilton like most Amalgamated services, we have a large mix of apparatus. Most city trucks are ALF's and KME's. The rural Dept's are a mix of commercial freightliners and internationals,and a few custom pumps and ladders. The way Hamilton seems to be leading is all custom pumps ladders , tankers ETC. We have been buying Seagrave (almonte) and KME's. They will probably never buy another commercial Fire truck again. Commercials just don't seem to hold up to the down town punishment. Keep asking the questions Firefighterkid. thats how you decided to learn .

[Scuba]

I'm with a small rural eastern Ontario department......
Our fleet consists of :
King~Seagrave Pumper (1967 Ford F700)
Seagrave Pumper (1977 GMC 850)
Ford F350 resque cube (1988)
Almonte (Seagrave) Tanker (2001 GMC Topkick 8500)

Shortly to be replacing the King~Seagrave with a shiny new 2005 Seagrave (Kenworth T-300)

[wilderness]

Jude you said eastern ontario where abouts?

[Scuba]

Here's a shot of our new truck.....

It's almost done. Just waiting on ULC testing & decals - then we take delivery.

I sure hope it stays warm like this for another week or two.

btw ~ wilderness ~ you got's mail.

Nice looking rig Scuba, it's even RED, careful with that extended front bumper if you are not used to them, we bent a couple up when we first got ours.
