General Discussion Is this just me being soft

I'm all for a good firehouse prank. Don't get me wrong. It's what makes this job great. But isn't it sort of a unwritten rule to not fuck with other people's turnouts. Couple guys on the shift before us decided it would be a great idea for them to fuck with us and saan wrap our lockers before we got there. Our gear is grouped by shifts. And of course before we even get settled in and our gear on the trucks we get a call. Then go to find our lockers saran wrapped. Dick move or not from them?

Don't fuck with life safety equipment. That could lead to a death if the person didn't know if the potential manipulation of their gear. It's a offense that should be elevated.

I'm all about commaraderie and fun, but not at others misfortune and especially with emergency gear.
