I have to admit that I was a big dick about firefighters in NYFD being called heroes for years after 9/11 but experiencing first hand what these men have been doing in San Diego with all of these wild fires I have nothing but 100% total respect and honor for what they do. They are true men risking their lives to save others.
San Diego voted down a bill a couple years back to add $30 a year tax to help purchase more fire plans and copters, most areas that were hit by fires years ago voted it down. yet these guys don't care about politics, they are out there risking their lives for complete strangers despite how cheap and disgusting they are.
I salute you and god bless

In big cities they have their share of hard work.
In most towns they sit on their asses and get paid $31/hr to basically make raunchy jokes and eat Subway.

I went along on a couple of rides for apartment building fires.
Their equipment is designed for the heat. However there are cases where even their hats start to melt and if they stop crouching, their face can burn up.
Then there's the people who are turned into marshmallows and their body leaks onto the floor. There's hard business to deal with.
But it's not some everyday thing.

Hell yeah. If it wasn't for them, who would be giving tickets to nurses and construction workers driving 21km over the limit on their way back from a 12 hour evening shift.

Dont forget to salute your mailman, my little asian mailman knocked on my door with his blue suit and plastic hard helmet drenched in sweat barely able to carry that huge bag of mail from house to house in this 100 deg day

He'll be out of a job within 10 years. They're firing letter carriers left and right here, because like USPS the mail service is bankrupt and kept floating with taxpayer $$$$.

Yes they do nicely.
It takes NYC teachers 25 years to reach top pay ($125,000)

The men on the lines are AWSOME. The big bosses are suck ass and under the table idiots. Here in AZ we lost 19 brave young Hot Shots in the Yarnell disaster. A water truck contractor was driving by the lightning hit the evening before and saw the fire about "the size of a Buick" he said on TV later. " I work sometimes with the State Fire Dept and called the local Chief and told him that I am right here with enough water on board to drown it. He told me to STAND DOWN ITS OUR JURISDICTION".
I sold Wildlands fire trucks for over 40 years and have a little experience in this matter. I witnessed the attached demo of a dry application of retardant (planes drop it with water so it has gravity to pull it down otherwise the powder would blow it away)
Also shown are some amazing water tenders that double the water and distance of anything out there. A Chef standing next to me said "you guys trying to take away my overtime?". WOW. My friend got that attitude when ever he did the demo.
The big bosses LOVE fires. Grant money for new chrome toys.
Nuff said .

I live in the White Mountains of Arizona about a mile from where the largest fire in our history was finally stopped. It was started by an Apache Fire Fighter who needed overtime. Later caught, confessed and serving life. 1/5 of the entire Arizona forest was charcoal. His brave brothers risked their lives for days along side local and State firefighters.

Yeah lol , When they're not catching deadly morning and evening speeders in middle class neighborhoods they are enjoying the finer things in life like tasing the elderly or assassinating mentally challenged junkies in the hood .. We need to salute them for keeping us safe from these people LOL ... Seen any speed traps on Jupiter Island lately?

I am on the rescue squad here and have had to go into the woods and fight a fire, it can get bad really fast. When all the ground around you is charred black and the smoke is hanging in the woods it looks like a war zone.
-
Also, with the ridiculous heat wave, they're working in 90-100 degree temperatures :o
Mask, air tanks, boots, heavy coat and gear fighting a huge fire in 100F... brutal !
I lived there for almost 10 years and do not ever remember it being 100F in the coastal cities in mid-May. Very strange.

You really dont know what youre talking about.
The dudes who fight the wildfires in california are badasses.

Speak for yourself.
You assume I haven't been involved in real 'scary shit'.
Fighting fires isn't akin to being in a 'warzone',
and I know firsthand that most firefighters sit on their asses all day and do jack shit.
They are some lazy fuckers.
Why do you think there is a huge waiting list to join the fire department?
This is a kiss ass thread.

Better check all the boxes

I just want to take time out, to thank our brave boys in blue, for putting it all on the line to protect my sorry fat ass and my sorry fat family. You brave men and women are truly brave and studly. Murica.

Keep waiting. There are maybe two or three guys here who don't hate cops. It's always a pile-on.

I'm not trying to start a pissing contest, but if you ever get the chance (or can muster interest), sign up for a ride-along somewhere. Might be surprised.
Not a cop, btw.

Just like any other government job there are lazy fucks. But for anyone that's ever been wearing 70 lbs of gear wearing a mask breathing bottled air and carrying 2.5" charged hose up to 3rd story ...enough said.
People don't give a shit about firefighters or paramedics until they're in an accident or family member needs to go to hospital.
Firefighters are an insurance policy for whatever town they're in.

So what, they get compensated well.
Why do we need an 'appreciation thread'.
Fucking gay if you ask me.
Fuck off with your "if anyone's ever" blah blah or "carrying 70 pounds of gear"
How often do they actually go in to a 'war zone' as someone called it lmao.
It's the only job where you can sit on your ass 90% of the time and be called a hero for it.
Firefighters have so much spare time that they often have nothing better to do than visit schools of elementary kids and show off the truck. Most of the time they're sitting around drinking beers or starting fires themselves according to other members.

Sound like one of the hockey cops from Rescue Me.

If your read what I actually wrote it says "looks like a war zone" it is a very surreal experience to be surrounded by fire. I do not know how else to explain it.
As for sitting on my ass and collecting checks, well I volunteer and have to pay for all my own shit.
I don`t know about those other pics but when I was doing it armed only with a rake it looked a lot like this.

Everything will be going OK and then the wind shifts and that shit starts charging at you it gets fukd up, you can`t breath or see, well I couldn`t because I don`t have that kind of gear.

Volunteering is different.
That is admirable

Hooolio cesear sounds butthurt at his minim wage job because there are people who make more
Money than him hajajajja!
Never said anything about war zones you assclown.
90% doing nothing are the guys who work in buttfuck nowhere. If you're in a good sized city then you're running on the ambulance a lot.
Don't speak about grown up topics

Just because they do that shit for free doesn't make them hero's ffs ..
If you get your cock sucked by a whoore and she won't take any cash for it, she is not a hero.
