this guy is such a …
this guy is such a jackass… he gets on youtube and searches firefighter videos then rip on those who are there to help him when he needs it. right out of high school me and 5 others went and joined the department.. and have done countless hours of classes… trainings.. calls…. everything.. so when that time comes.. we are not just people with lightbars on our truck.. we are just as much as the fulltimers.. but we dont ask get gas refunded to us to drive to the station.nothing.. all for free

you are so right..i …
you are so right..i am on this department.. and in free time we do take extra classes… and i work a full time job 7-3 monday through friday. we have training every single wednesday night. and whenever we get a call we drop what ever we are doing to help those in dyer need. these people just have no respect, but when they’re grandparents can’t breathe at 2 o clock in the morning even though i work the next day. at 7 i still get up to go help them.. I ask.. WHAT IF VOLUNTEERS DIDNT VOLUNTEER

Volunteer doctor? …
Volunteer doctor? If they’re willing to pay the high cost of malpractice insurance and work for free, let them go right ahead. If they’re wealthy enough to pay $200,000 for medical school and then work for free more power to them. Think brother

I’m here to save …
I’m here to save your and not kiss it. And if your home caught fire you’d be calling for help, from those paid or those who do it for free. Hopefully you’ll realize we are professionals and not just handed gear and pointed in the right direction and told to get in there and spray water.

Well guess what! I …
Well guess what! I stood alongside those who work for full time departments in the fire academy and we still have the same respect for each other and always will. Its clear that you’re not a ff. But your full timers left the academy and went straight to work. But your vollie here continued his training to specialize in high angle rescue, confined space rescue, and hazmat tech. But i dont get credit for that because im not paid for it.

If you’re willing …
If you’re willing to pay more money for people to do the same job then go right ahead big shot. Do you think the state certifies us differently than paid firemen? I bet you didn’t believe that vollies carry certifications.

If there is such a …
If there is such a BIG difference why did you fail to state the difference? The biggest difference is the dollar amount written on the paycheck. The next biggest difference is one station is manned and one is not.
