She should be fired for the dancing. Or admitting in writing to driving 100mph to station coverage. Both are terrible.

“Fired for dancing”

Lmao somebody has been listening to too much of the Hotshot Wakeup 

[u/ICantSplee → u/coFFdp]

Let me help you. The “fired for dancing” part is satire. 😉

[u/AsleepCharity1675 → u/ICantSplee]

Vollies can’t be fired cause they ain’t paid to begin with. Its why you get so many absolute morons in that “part” of the fire service 😂

[u/ICantSplee → u/AsleepCharity1675]

Volunteers can, in fact, be released from the department. Essentially “fired”. You can’t simply show up to a volunteer program and jump on a truck, and you certainly can’t remain indefinitely against the direction of the chief or the municipality.

It’s also worth noting that the majority of firefighters in the US are volunteers. As with any job, there are varying skill levels and quality of people but the vast majority are capable, dedicated and knowledgeable.

I worked around and still work around VFD’s in the past as a career guy and now as a state forest service ranger/wildland firefighter. If I had a nickel for everytime a VFD guy did something or said something absolutely stupid that we never would have said or done on a career department, I’d be a rich man…

Why is my junk burning?

Too much fun in the blueroom!

What I do with my uncrustable in my special room is not your concern or the concern of my supervisor. It’s between me, and the uncrustable and my cell signal

TikTok reels always give me 2nd hand embarrassment

[u/coFFdp]

Shit is relatable though. VFD’s love to waste their FF’s time.
