I have 24 years in as volunteer FF. I was training officer for 12 years. I moved away and hung up my gear, have been asked to join two local VFD (one in the town I live in and one where I work) haven't made a decision yet. I do kind of miss it, but my wife sleeps better at night knowing I am department-less now.

I started as a Junior volunteer firefighter when I was a teenager , moved up to firefighter and then left for the Corps .

I have a couple of Fire fighter of the year awards in the other room .

Nothing like working a job all day , getting home , being called out to a structure fire at night , get home just in time to go back to work once again . Or get home on a Friday evening from work and spend the entire weekend fighting brush fires all weekend .

You're right Ashlar it's a great feeling. Or even a 18 or 20 hour stint on a grass fire, get sent home, get 2 or 3 hours sack time, then get called out again.

Unless of course she does it too. Not to mention our daughter. It's a family thing. My dad and I are the first father son life members. He is the oldest and I am the youngest. My wife does the medical thing more than me, but our daughter loves running in.
