Exactly. And I can also completely under stand if a DEPTS SOPS say no go for JRS. I mean..if you have a Kid who wants to be a firefighter bad enough, he will deal with all the hose rolling at a fire, and being the go-fer. But honestly..There are a...

I say it depends on size of Dept. If theres a truck going to leave, and it has empty spots, why not fill them with Jrs? When I was a JR I was allowed to run with the guys in the truck to the call. Or even drive my truck to the call. I mostly staye...

At our station in Auckland, New Zealand it is very rare for us to leave rookies (our equivalent to explorers) behind. However it really does depend on the situation, because in NZ if your allocated a pager (If you have done a basic course and a co...

Andrew replied to Andrew's discussion 'Common Uncourtesy'
Of course I always drive safely and utilize Due Regard. That's why I didn't just hop in front of the cars hoping that they would stop for me. It just irks me that people are either A.) THAT oblivious when operating a motor vehicle, or B.) That unc...

The incident hindered my response by a minute or so which could make all of the difference. In this instance - no, I still made the rig (it was an EMS call). However, the "What If" factor plays a key role - the other drivers passing me didn't know...

Andrew replied to Andrew's discussion 'Common Uncourtesy'
This is true. It's personally happened to me, I've heard horror stories about it, and someone I work with has even stated that she purposely does this as well. However, if it were her house on fire, or her husband and/or children that needed help,...
