As promised, a day in the life of a Firefighter/Paramedic.

Up and readying for a shower and breakfast because I know from experience that breakfast at the house (fire station) won't be an option.

Everyone, plz bear with me as I won't be able to post right away on the alarms we receive today, but rest assured, I will give, in chronological order, every alarm I run on today.

My Captain and Lt. have made it very clear to me that my duties come first and posting on my laptop a distant second.

Ok DU, I've been given permission by my station Captain to post on this site,

a typical FF/Para's 24 hour duty watch in response to this:

I'll be carrying my laptop and posting every call, minus personal info on medical, and any fires, structure or wildland, that take place.

This will happen this Sunday during my shift.

I hope everyone enjoys it and understands just what is involved in a typical day for Fire Rescue personnel.
