Volunteer / Combination / Paid on Call Interesting introduction night

Was at the volunteer FD I'm joining getting measured for turnout gear and having a BBQ with the lads. Right as we end the night everyone's pagers go off for an MVA as we were discussing road crash rescue.

The station usually only gets a few calls a week so interesting it happened when the newbies were there. Reminds me of the interviews where the station alarm goes off and everyone's out.

Wait, you got measured for new gear on day one? You don’t get the oldest stinkiest gear?
