>>3590022I've been in fire and EMS for ten years now. Firefighting is about 10% of the job and most of that is small fires or exterior attack only.
Seriously overrated job and a misallocation of resources. The only reason were still going is because our union is fucking good at manipulating taxpayers with hero imagery.
EMS is 85% of our volume give or take and most of these fucking assholes only do it because they have to to ride Big Red. They don't give a fuck about their most important job function.
