i got 2 for ya while i was a live-in at my volley house. we had a live-in no one really liked staying at the fire house while he went thru medic school at the local college. i run with a station that has a paid micu and is volunteer fire. so one of the emt's also a live-in and myself came up with this one. we took a couple things of iv tubing ran it under his sheets, down the bed frame to a lamp cord to my buddies bed frame and up into my buddies bed attached a liter bag of saline to the end in my buddies bunk and after he went to sleep my buddy squeezed about a bag and half into his bunk. when i came back to go to bed he was curled up in a chair and he's like did you throw water on me i'm like nope i was up in the front office. i forgot to mention after the guy felt the water he went to the bathroom to dry off and what not and my buddy pulled the tubing off. the guy came back from the bathroom with a lil flash light looking around the bed to see if he could find anything never did. (the bunks were in a corner and were perpendicular to each other). the 2nd one we had one of those systems where you push a button to talk to someone inside the building to try to cut down on non ems or fire personel coming in our station. and if you push the button just right it sticks and makes a god aweful noise. well one night we were bored same kid had fallen a sleep and we got it to push just right and we have windows in our bay doors so we watched him as searched the station to try to figure it out he we went to the front window as he checked the alarm panel never figured it out and went back to try to sleep. after a while we felt bad so we turned it off.

I guess no fire department is complete without a few practical jokes floating around. I had a problem awhile back with the guys using the womens bathroom. It wouldn't have been so bad, had they cleaned up after themselves, but after they found out it would get a rise out of me to violate my bathroom, it never ceasesd to go in there and find spots on the floor, toilet or the occasional "floater" here and there. Well all the griping to the chief in the world wouldn't do any good, so we decided to get even. One night, we had been out training, and me and two other girls (they were jr's at the time) got back to the station first, and sure enough found our bathroom in a complete mess. So, we got a few tampons, ran enough water on them to make them puff out them soaked them in ketchup and left them laying ryte on top of the trash can, and just for good measure left one in the toilet. Then we just sat back and watched the action. After the second guy threw up we finally couldn't hold it in any longer, we lost it laughing. And they haven't messed up our bathroom since!!

Take some flour and put it in the defroster vents and (with the vehicle off) turn the defoster on high. Then leave 1 rose with a card that says "enjoy the flour" on the seat. The person will think that you spelled FLOWER wrong and not give any attention to it... You can guess the rest from their.... That one got a good laugh for a while

I'm in a combination department where volunteers can ride along with the career guys to get more calls, experience, etc. Well one of our newest guys...a little slow in the head anyways...went over to HQ to do a ride along. While there, the on duty Lt. told him to go find the water hammer on one of the 2 trucks in station. He spent about a half hour looking and couldn't find anything, obviously. They then told him to head over to the other career station, on the opposite side of town, to see if it had been put on their rig there. So he drives all the way across town and the FFs at that station told him "no, it's back at HQ, we're sure of it" and sent him all the way back across town again, at which point they finally explained to him what a water hammer is.

I LIKE STANDING WITH MY NOSE TO A DOOR(THAT OPENS AWAY FROM ME), AS THEY COME IN YOU SCREAM, AND THEY JUMP EVERY TIME. OUR CAPT. LIKES TO SCARE THE HECK OUT OF ONE OF THE AMBULANCE GUY, ANY TIME HE GETS. SO WE PUT HIM IN THE CAPT. OFFICE, WHEN HE CAME IN HE SAID BO. THE CAPT. BACKED UP AND HIT THE WALL OF THE HALLWAY. ONE THING WE DO NOT MESS WITH GEAR OR THE TRUCK .

We do this to all our new guys. We bumrush them, duct tape there hands and feet. Then we dump ice water on them. After that we put some nasty concoction ( the latest was 3 week old milk and eggs) all over them and then dump ice water on them again. I would have to say the only reason we get away with it is because the station I work at is so slow now. we used to be the busiest fire department in the AMC of the Air Force till the A-10 aircraft left. we had some guys tie a bunch of tampons onto our old station captains gear because he was always so moody. Every loop on his storm flap, and wherever they could on his helmet. We got a call that night and he was so busy trying to get all that crap off that the engineer almost hit a car at a blind intersection cause he didn't wait to get the all clear.

Place a pair of gloves under the discharge of a tanker/tender. "Hey probie! Those your gloves?" As newbie bends over to pick up said gloves, open discharge. Hilarity ensues.
