[@Pew_Meister]

They ain’t lying about the fitness! I’m in an academy right now and it’s pretty intense. Going into it, I didn’t realize how physical it was Must be the rather obtuse firefighters I’ve seen in the past. But you don’t see that as much in busier departments. Literally everything we do, I’m running like 180 heart rate😂

@@TomManning-cs4el Well you’d be mistaken on both of those fronts but 😂. I said it was pointless because just because your house may have been busier doesn’t mean anything.

Our fire department is very aggressive…please explain what that statement means. I’ve been in numerous fire stations and I consistently see the employees working out, playing video games, watching movies and eating meals throughout the day. I’ve never seen that much free time at any occupation while getting paid. Yes, fire department employees are important first responders who do train a lot, but because they have the time. However, there is nothing aggressive about that job, fire department employees wait for a call. I am prepared for hateful responses to this comment but I’m so tired of seeing these videos shown to the public after observing the behavior I have firsthand.

[@jimjimjimjim2422]

You must be a cop.

[@Case_Slay]

"Our department is very aggressive" to me translates to aggressive fireground tactics (having proactive crews who are well trained and go interior to search for victims, and extinguish the fire quickly and effectively). Do we have down time? Yes we do, depending on your territory and call volume. But this is a VERY aggressive job that takes physical fitness and training. Example: If you are bunkered out in full gear (70 lbs. heavier), have to carry and throw a 28 foot extension ladder, break a window, search a room (high heat conditions with no visibility) while crawling, locate and remove an unconscious victim, then provide medical care to them. That takes training, physical fitness, teamwork, and aggression.

[@user-vi3mx7cc5t]

@@Case_Slay: Congratulations, military and law enforcement also conduct scenario and skills based training and maintain physical fitness: while having far less time to do so because they are doing their jobs and working in environments where subjects are actively trying to harm them: which requires an aggressive response. Training and working out do not. Fire department employees wear heavy gear? Oh wow, no other professions can accomplish this task while having to physically exert themselves and deal with people / equipment. Oh wait, military and law enforcement accomplish this task for extended periods of time with far greater risks to their safety. This video is absolutely ridiculous, depicting fire department employees acting hardcore and “aggressive.” What, working out in the gym with your equipment and flexing? Negative. As far as fire department employees having down time…any government employee at the local, state, or federal level that has as much down time during the workday as fire department employees do should be be investigated for misuse of government funds. The amount of time I’ve seen fire department employees waste is astonishing. Feel free to portray your profession in this laughable light to the public and fuel your ego sir: but you cannot deceive me and the military / law enforcement personnel I’ve had the good fortune to work with and for. The amount of time I’ve wasted on this social media nonsense makes me feel like a fire department employee: I better get back to work and actually do my job.

sounds like he couldn’t pass the CPAT. Even cops have to have heroes. Keep giving Narcan to diabetic patients. BTW, this fire department runs 15-20 calls per shift. They’re lucky to have time to eat and work out.
