That guy should be fucking fired. What a clown. At a bare minimum retake his fire 1 and 2.

My first career gig was a combo dept. We do our morning shift training, but we’d also do weekly night training for the call dept once a week and occasionally one Saturday a month.

We had a few guys never show up to a single training and would go to a handful of calls/year. They sucked. They’d argue with the officers, yell on the radio like it was a fucking mayday, fumble fucked everything, very chaotic, never went inside fires.

Then when it came time to pick up they’d be no where to be seen and would have an excuse why they needed to leave.
