3vil Posted March 27, 2016 Report Share Posted March 27, 2016 I did firefighting for a season when I was 19, it sucks. Hot, sweaty, dusty shit work. Then I moved to Alaska and worked the commercial fishing boats for a while. Cold, wet, fishy shit work, but I tolerate cold better than hot weather. I really liked being out on the open water, and the few times we got got stuck in REAL nasty storms. Either job is hella dangerous, but the pay was good back in the late 90's. So I guess pick hot or cold. Or learn to weld, that's much better pay and safer too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EricM9104 Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Just got back from a dispatch and all I can is WOW! Despite the long hours, and multiple days in a row, it is something you won't get burnt out as long as you look at the positives and have a great crew to be dispatched with! This job is very rewarding, physically, and mentally. 2015 Honda Civic LX 4dr | 24k miles Stock H/U and mids/highs Power Acoustik GW3-12" D2 Sub HiFonics BXX1200.1D @ 1ohm Random 2.5^3' dual ported box NVX LOC Stinger wiring throughout 1977 Chevy SWB Cammed 350 Dual exhaust Cheap Wish stereo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkster Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 I used to want to be a smoke jumper but I realized pretty quickly I wasn't in that kind of shape. Those guys are insane. Ever since I started training BJJ my body is always hurting, but I can't quit now. I'm a FF/EMT and would love to learn the wildland side of things. Snap some photos on a call when it's safe and post them up here. Good luck and stay safe!
