As someone on the front lines do you think this virus is something to shit your pants over or a total hoax? Obviously I imagine your somewhere in the middle but those are the two extremes.

Asked by John about 5 years ago

Ok, so I cover 2500 square miles with my 2 employers that I work for and have handled at least 20 possible Covid cases. I had Covid in Feb and managed to live just fine. I have 2 daughter in laws that came down with it. One worked at Walmart and the other is a nurse. The latter almost died due to Covid complications and childbirth involving clotting after a c-section. The twins were born with Covid but were asymptomatic and managed just fine. The Media has blown this way out of proportion due to politics. Yes people have lost their lives and I am sorry but we lose on average over 50,000 every year from the flu and that has been for decades. I am not a sheep I have no faith in face mask. Our immune system is a wonderful thing but if you are in your 70, 80's or have serious medical issues or risk you are at an increased risk of mortality. With that said the flu kills alot of these people just from that. But my personal belief is that this is blown out of proportion and there is people that should go to jail over some of this. This is only my personal feeling and everyone is entitled to one.

Hi. I was wondering if you could provide a few suggestions of ways I can increase my chances of being hired as a fire fighter (i.e. additional courses, etc...). Thank you!

Get your EMT, it puts you above many others.

Bit graphic, but do you deal with the bodies and if you do, do you get used to seeing them?

Asked by Ethan4598 over 5 years ago

Most are able to build an emotional wall and can concentrate on the tasks at hand. But there are some that can only do it for so long and have to retire and unfortunately there are so who take their own lives. I know of at least 5 co workers who have killed themselves. I have had a few calls that are imbedded in my head but can keep them back in the cave of my mind.

I'm researching training for a book. What is the name and are there any training resources/video for the technique of two attack lines advancing with a center person keeping tempo for both lines? Thanks.
