TweetLast night i picked up my accountability tags and interior helmet stickers for the Fire Department. I am one of a few Volunteer Firefighters in the area who are qualified to go inside burning buildings along with the City Firefighters.

the accountability tags are similar to dog tags... when you report on a fire ground you turn in one of your tags to the Incident Commander so they have a way to keep track of who is going in. then the second stays on your helmet so they can identify your charred body when its over.... HA!

Tweetmore than likely. I am currently in EMT school and that will be the end of the minimum requirements in my area to go full time. I am a little worried though because it will be a pretty big pay cut for me. Obviously $$ isnt my main motivation but i have to live too.

TweetCan you do me a favor? Please? It's my favorite scene. Can you dress up, and lay on the floor, look at the camera and say "Look at him... That's my brother g0d damit. "
And remember, It's a living thing. It breathes, it eats, and it hates. The only way to beat it is to think like it. To know that this flame will spread this way across the door and up across the ceiling, not because of the physics of flammable liquids, but because it wants to. Some guys on this job, the fire owns them, makes 'em fight it on it's level, but the only way to truly kill it is to love it a little.
