Bullpen Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Uh oh...here we go........ I saw the subject line and thought the exact same thing. Poor new guy never had a chance. I miss that thread. Was that the same guy that would talk about going out to the bars and all the women he would supposedly pick up? I'm thinking it was BuffaloBilldo or something?

Chef Jim Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 (edited) I'd love either kind, thank you. It's all about the hoses with you isn't it. Oh and BTW my wife is with you. She was so excited when we bought our first condo next to a fire station. That was until the sirens started blaring every night. I told her to stop setting the kitchen on fire.

boyst Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Many of my family members back in WNY are involved with the VFD. My great-grandpa was a leader among the VFD in WNY a long time ago. More recently, many of my family members remain active in the dept. Here, in my township it is all volunteer, other then the chief and any who pass a drivers level 2 test. There are a few officers, as well as the chief. They go on 400 calls a year, serving part of I85, and assisting other departments including the city dept. The thing I have noticed about VFD is that there are often more crew to show up then with the city dept. Many of the members drive themselves to the scene and the only limitation seems to be that there are only so many trucks per station. There is probably a station here every 8 miles with 3 to 4 trucks and a brush burner. The ambulance services and country rescue squad are seperate. The state troopers direct all of the traffic incidents, including fatalities and tickets, outside of the city. Almost never will you see a sheriffs vehicle pulling over a vehicle, they deal with all other issues in the county. Interesting note, my county is a dry county. You have to go in the city limits to purchase alcohol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what it is about firemen...they are just sexy IMO. Cowboys are the same for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is referring to you, there was a troll here in the past that started a thread about volunteer firefighters being pyromaniacs. I think you are probably him too, but giving you a heads up on the off chance you aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 What is a drivers level 2 test? No idea, it was on the VFD website for my township. There are two levels of firefighters, and two levels of drivers, and a few officers and the chief who can do both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
