See idk about that schedule. But the schedule the departments around me have are 24 on 48 off which imo is the best schedule out there. Especially when you’re young you can get a bad night of sleep and make up for it that next night and be fine. 48 on would be a bit tougher though

My dad's a firefighter and u don't get any sleep

the department im working to get on are 24/48

God is good, His love endures forever, His plans never fail💖🙌

Man, this is nothing to me. I’ve done trade school, and worked 16 hour days Monday - Friday and 8 hours on the weekends because no school just to pay for my welding school. Doing only one thing at once would be amazing

The backbone of society deserves rest, but it wouldn't then be the backbone. Much love to all firefighters, emts, etc! 💪🇺🇸

The volunteer fire department is so cool

I think it’s about checking yourself. I work the 24-48 schedule which generates about 100-120 hours a pay period depending on the calendar. I also work 56-70 scheduled ems (sometimes more, sometimes less) hours every pay period on the side. So I’m working 85-95 hours every week and have been for the last year. Sleep deprivation is a thing, but it comes in waves. Some days you run 10-15 calls and you just aren’t sleeping +, you have a 12 hour shift the next day. Yet, some days you run 1 call and can technically get the full 8… if your crew doesn’t keep you up talking. You have to know when too much is too much. You have to realize that it’s time to take some you time. You also have to realize that every cpr doesn’t lead to ptsd and every night of 2 hours of sleep doesn’t lead to Alzheimer’s. Over exaggerating your circumstances doesn’t make you a hero… it makes you an asshole. Walking the fine line is what it’s all about. You must check yourself so you understand when to calm the hell down and take it easy. But it’s not Rescue Me either. Kudos to this guy for shining light on us.

I never liked the idea of medics doing 48 hours. Do you want a medic working on you in his 45th hour on duty and his 30th call?

It ain’t that busy where you at…staph it!

Get off the 24hr shift. But your union bargain for it

Soft.

In most european countries 99% of our firefighters are volunteers, only cities of 10k or more get a state fire service, but even then usually they usually show up at a rural call way after the fire is out, usually for the paperwork since they’re basically supervisors of the surrounding Volunteer fire stations.

Hes not lying. Look how dark his eyes are 🤣

2 on, 2 off, W schedule. No I haven't slept in days

Does a firefighter fight fire all day?

That’s a good share, I want to be a fireman. I just hope I can make my dream a reality

This guy is SOFT and needs to find a new job. I bet he works at a very slow department and sleeps through the night on most nights. No one asked this dude to be a fireman. That’s his choice. He’s giving real firemen like myself a bad look

I wish I worked 2 on 4 off 💀 I work 48 on 48 off with a K day every other week

Some people can survive with little sleep or at least recover quickly. This guy is clearly affected by it to a larger extent, and doesn’t seem like a right fit for the job or shift work in general.

Even if you get to sleep while on duty. That sleep is not good. So you end up needing to sleep 8+ hours once you get home

As a 6 year nightshifter I cannot relate. 2 days on 4 days off sounds wonderful.

That is why I question those people who say they don’t like their slow station… they don’t know until they get ran through all night and get asked to stay an extra 2 days of Ot. With 0 sleep and caffeine to even walk.

This is so true . My Dad was a volunteer Firefighter for 22 years .

Wow I know there is no makeup. But dudes eyes have a dark shadow around them

I'll only work for a department that does 24/48. 24 hours is enough for me.

Is this dudes name Alex Ovchinnikov? I'm pretty sure he was in my medic school class.

I wanna volunteer in firefighting to see if i like it but im in college in the evenings and work doubles in the weekends

'Sleep debt' is a real thing, and it builds over time. You have to make up for the lack of sleep at some point.

Almond honey is for the bees. Literally, as it tastes horribly of chemicals, but luckily the bees don't seem to mind.

I think I’m built for this I work making $15 an hour and only get about 3 hours of sleep a day

I'm an EMT. Been doing 2 on, 1 off, 1 on, two off for a bit now. Just trying to make ends meet for the three little ones right now. It gets to the point where I have a chronic pressing pain behind my eyes and forehead. It ain't good. Lack of good sleep heightens blood pressure despite good diet. Couple weeks ago I was running 181/96 after a two day shift so I had to take a few days off. My brother here speaks the truth, it's the most difficult part of the job by far. Can legit be just as dangerous as anything else we deal with especially because it sneaks up.

Facts

2 paid dept within an hour tell me who’s covering the rest

And the thing is, at least here in my county, fire is almost always responding to the medic calls. Person having chest pain and diff breathing? Fires gonna be there. Seizure? Fire is there. Fall? Fire will probably be there too. Regardless of the time.

For many years I worked 24 hrs at the FD then 24HRS on an ambulance, I had about 23 hours to recover and do it all again.. it is horrable for your health...

Yup and imagine if he’s Feeling it imagine how wildland FireFighters Are Feeling after 14, 16 Hours Days In The Middle Of the Woods Fighting Fires Sometimes 100 feet Tall, thousands of acres Wide, And Moving At 100 yards or a Football Field A Second ohh And Not too Mention they are So Strong because of Unlimited Air And Fuel they Can Create Their Own Weather Patterns And I can’t forget the Cherry on top They On Average Get paid 😅 $13 An Hour And They don’t get too sleep in a bed it’s Called A Sleeping Bag in the middle of their Office Aka The Forest

As someone with no experience who’s interested in become in a firefighter would being a volunteer be a good way to start

My husband is 48 one and 24 off, he’s tired and then so am I because we have a child and I work from home. It’s a big sacrifice

This is why 12 hour shifts should be against the law. 10 hour max. Companies need to be regulated to 3 8-hour shifts when the businesses is open 24 hours a day 7 days a week. I am a volunteer fire fighter and corrections officer. I work 12s 4 to 5 times a week

48/96 is the way to go. Left an ems based fire dept at 24/48. To go to fire only on 48/96 My mental health and home life got way better

You sound pretty mentally and physically weak brother get another profession

Awesome career, a 24 Hour shift at a busy department is no picnic! The stress and sleep deprivation accumulates on you quickly!

He said wOW~

Being a firefighter isn’t for the faint of heart: not only does it take a toll on yourself, but it takes just as much a toll on your family. - sincerely, the son of a firefighter

Im a firefighter for Toronto fd i get 2 off and 5 days on everyday i just get weaker everyday its pretty crazy im also pretty sad i barely get to see my wife or my 2 kids hands hurt everyday becuse you know we've got halligans axes saws and debris to move in calls its just the sleep Toronto is a massive city almost every night we get calls mostly when we are sleeping i run captain on ladder 8 our ladder doesn't have a driver engineer so we had someone else to train to drive the truck so i control the ladder and its rushing for me i costs energy
