[@etherealhawk]

This ain't the place to be seen. Call a station

[@grahammaguire404]

It's difficult to understand that while they do get called out via whatever method of alert,the ratio of firefighting is relatively small,sorry don't want to disappoint potential on call firefighters ....but read the small print before committing yourselves!!!!

@Awoke Awoke RTC i would say would be the main one. Car crashes.

[@SolidusSnapes]

@Awoke Awoke The most important thing is that the job is being done correctly and all people that are saveable are saved. I'm not a firefighter but a lot of my family are and have been in the past. I'm in the same boat as you. I've applied for an on-call position and have done so in the past without luck processing further. You just need to prepare yourself for the day when you're required to step up and be thankful the more proficient trained man beside you is there. Get the basics covered first. It isn't the job of being the hero. It's a job of working as a team to save lives. With enough confidence and the basics covered, you will be that proficent man.

My on call station has had one house fire in two years, other than that it’s all station standbys and rtc

If anyone applies to be an on call firefighter and only expects to be in the thick of the action fighting fire like absolute bosses... you're doing it for the wrong reason. It's about being there in case their community needs them. Making a difference in people's lives. That isn't always entering a burning inferno and running out with them in your arms. It could be as simple as helping them with oil spills, even if they've just injured themselves, and Fire are the first on scene. Even normal firefighters barely fight fires now. So if you're applying in the hopes, it's all Hollywood... you need not apply. It's about giving back, being there is needed and ultimately serving your family, friends, and neighbours. It is still a great thing to do, but don't apply for the wrong reason. If you're having to battle a fire... you need to remember it's not a celebration! It's potentially a dark day in someone's life, especially if it is a house fire. Never forget, no matter how much of a rush it is... for someone else, their entire world has potentially burnt down! None of this American high fiving and wooing crap!

I bet a few people are shitting themselves now, they know who they are. The truth will come out
