I have heard of stories of members in my department running around and things happening in the station for years.
If its someones husband, wife, girlfriend, boyfriend or someone they pickup somewhere at someones house or even in the firehouse.
I h...
The joke at work is......define EMS......Extra Martial Sex......We are a tight group really. There isn`t much "hanky panky" going around. In a division of approx 80 people, there are 4 or 5 that are dating. From time to time there are the little "...
Frank, Fantastic topic! I can tell you that with my paid department, it aparently used to be a HUGE problem prior to me starting there. Since I've been there, there has been conversations about who the "male whores" were, but it seems to have stop...
I believe that it is very un professional. We as Firefighters and EMS personel are people that the younger generation looks up too. Just knowing that we are looked up to makes me think that we should hold ourselves to a higher standard than that w...
I think it's prone to happen in any job situation where people are in close proximity to others for a good portion of their daily life. It's also prone to happen when people find someone to "connect" to that has the same goals, aspirations, and in...
The fire station, or house, is really a place of busines. Yet sadly it is more of a clubhouse to some, especially with those who have the entitlement attitude, and feel they answer to no one becouse their station is some exclusive, eleite organiza...
Well none of the guys are doing this at my station, but there are no women so its probably going to stay that way lol
There was an incident years back at our FD concerning this issue. The 2 FF are both still at the station and work together. I'm sorry I don't know many details of it because it happened before my time there. There haven't been many females at our ...
I hope I'm not naive to this here at my station, but I see it more on the police side versus ours. I used to be a 911 dispatcher and constantly saw it in law enforcement but being on the fire service for 16 years it is far and few. I remember when...
I belong to small Volunteer Co. and it turned out to be a huge problem.The fire chief wife(31) and a younger member(19) were fooling around and it lead to them being arrested.They were fooling around for almost 2 years and the Chief said he did no...
what is your thoughts on the growing problem in fire houses, or do believe it is not as big as it seems? "Extamaritial affairs." As a chief officer I have seen a problem developing in our fire house, as we move to equality in the fire service. has...
Unfortunately, without an internal dating or sexual relationship policy and even a neputism policy your hands are tied.
Wow, I can't imagine issues with internal hook-ups, marriages, divorces, and keeping the department running smoothly with fair...
Very true, but my interp. of the topic was "In-house". Affairs outside the service are a different matter. There are just as many "moraly ambiguous" men and women in any department as there are in the civillian ranks(percentage wise). Is it wrong?...
this was started to see if this issue was concided a accepted practice in our service today, I know it is not a new problem. But as noted prior it is our younger generation that make it more open. it has been in the service for many years as a Vol...
"serious discussion"? Here? Come on Kali, be serious.
Regarding this:
Reply by Cody W. Nelson "Not much of a problem here. It's the hospitals you have to worry about here. It's like an orgy when those folks go to work. It's just crazy!"
Looks like someone's been watching way too much "Grey's Anatom...
