Are you paid Firefighters or volunteers?
I am a career(paid) firefighter in NJ, 8 years on. My brother and father were on the job.
Best job in the world!
God Bless and stay safe!

Lol, isn't volunteering an east coast thing?? Good bless them though, working out of the goodness of their hearts. As much as I love our job, I don't think I can do it for free, especially with the pay out here. Plus, we live in the 2 most expensive areas in the country. Your shit will turn white if you ever find out what my best friend makes as a LT in Northern California. I'm in LA. My brothers are ffs in Hawaii and other relatives are ffs and a retired Chief in Kauai.
I think the coast guard had their hands full with two hurricanes in a row and few tropical storms to boot. They we're stretched thin and if you ever been to Hawaii they do a lot of ocean rescues. There's a lot of water between the big island and Kauai to cover. I don't know the full details but I will update this thread on what the probie did. Take care of yourself brother and thanks for posting on this thread.
