@@deltaraven im pretty they were referencing this joke "The bond's Name. James Name" Pleased to... what? "Bond Name's the james" Are you alright? "Bames Nond's having a stronk, call a Bondulance"
As a retired female firefighter (22 years) who was the daughter of a firefighter ( best father ever,fantastic, loyal husband:), this was very accurate information ☺️
Thank you for your work. I will never forget the firefighters who responded to our house fire within a few minutes, saved our cats, saved our house and were so incredibly kind and compassionate. I thank you all! 😻
I didn’t believe you until Thanksgiving when I brought him to meet the folks. I don’t think I have ever seen him restrain himself. When my younger cousins made a large noise in the other room and my folks went to investigate. He ate his whole plate in less than 2 minutes. I thought he was going to choke. He was perfectly fine afterwards.
@@FireDepartmentChronicles The eating like someone's gonna call in a emergency is funny. Also, I kinda already eat like that lol, so maybe I have that already.
Omg, so true, so true! 🤣🤣🤣 Somehow, I ended up married to a fireman-despite the “screw that bro, move on” shenanigans and everything! Maybe cuz, in true ER nurse snarky fashion, I responded with, “No man, screw YOU bro, I’m out” when that nonsense started 🤣🤣🤣 Apparently, he met his match and was intrigued that I didn’t chase after him and that I eat all my meals in even faster than he does 😁 After 11 years, he’s still telling me to slow down and wait for him when we eat dinner 🤣🤣🤣 But he’s a wonderful guy who’s just as described: rough and tough and crabby in the outside, sweet and snuggly on the inside (but don’t tell anyone, that part is Top Secret)!
Damn straight. When they say they wanna be out, my response is "BE OUT THEN". I'm not chasing anybody when they say they don't wanna be there cause I'll be damned. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya... I'll enjoy being single (after being married, I know what blessing that is) and decide when the next one comes along 🤷♀️
@@theseventhchilde good for you! That is a really great attitude to have, and as a single woman myself, I wish more people would. Anyone who does opposite is "cheapening the (SMV of) real estate" for everyone.
"Eat like someone is trying to steal our meal". I literally stabbed a guy in the hand with my fork for reaching for my plate. At a restaurant......and I wasn't even in EMS yet. Its gotten worse
I stabbed a kid's hand with a fork in the second grade because he was trying to take something off my tray. I drew blood, but kept eating until the teacher noticed the bully's tears and sent me to the office.
I am not a fire fighter I just well came from a different type of life style and I always finish my plate but I almost bit a kids hand off when he tried to steal my corndog off my plate in school. He had to remove his hand fast when he reached or I was going to have more meat for lunch.
The woman I used to live with was like that but she was a RN. They also have to eat quick because understaffing. She dang near bit my finger off when I joked I was going to take a cheeto off her plate and reached. She grabbed my hand and bit me.
EMS (because we're right there with Fire) and military are the same way. I used to eat super slow as a kid. After my enlistment and following career in EMS, I can polish off any meal in an impressively short period of time. Especially for a tiny woman. Seriously. I get some strange looks.
There is one category of firefighter who doesn’t eat fast: the captain. The captain doesn’t rush for a couple of reasons. First, the crew can’t leave without him. Second, the captain stopped being excited about going to calls years ago. While you’re all amped up to get some on a fire, cut up a car, or do CPR, I’m thinking of the reports I’ll have to write afterwards and thinking “Great, more paperwork. FML.”
That is so true....my hubby retired as an Auxiliary trainer, he was never excited about getting overtime, he said the paperwork always took too much time
@@jayney6176 Actually, it's my duty to get my crew and apparatus to the call safely and efficiently. "Rushing" is neither. How do I know this? 21 years as a firefighter-EMT (various ranks), that's how. Thanks for playing.
And if you date a voluntary firefighter, don't expect that we will not go to a call just because we are on a date. We will get our stuff and run like our life depends on it, because someone elses may do. And don't stand in the way. Costs time, and time is the only thing we don't have when getting a call.
Love vollies, but ffs please try to act like a regular person when you're not on duty. (That's to volunteers in general, not you specifically, Thought Fox.) My brother was a vollie, so I say this from experience: Spending thousands of dollars to deck out your personal vehicle with flashy lights and crap, as well as buying a ton of "fire gear", listening to the scanner non-stop, and rushing to get on scene when you're not actually on shift... that crap is just obnoxious. You WILL wind up single. Even if you have a girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband, you'll basically be single. Just don't. Have some damned balance.
@@RedT...TheOriginal.NotANumber Yeah, of course balance is important. I'm from germany, so spending thousands of euros for lights and stuff would just make my car illegal for street use xD. We don't have a "shift" system, so your always "on duty", but with 15-20 calls a year (small department) it dosn't take overhand.
@@ThePinkBinks I see it this way: I'm an EMT. If someone gets injured/starts choking/passes out right in front of me, or in my line of sight, I'm going to help even if I'm off duty. I'm "that guy" who stops for MVCs (car accidents) when emergency vehicles aren't on scene yet. But I don't sit and listen to a scanner, then go running if my coworkers are doing CPR on a patient 10 miles away. That's not healthy. More, it's NOT SAFE to have off-duty people running in and mucking up the scene. The person in charge already has a plan, and I ain't part of it unless I started out on the roster for the shift. Doubly true for Fire. There's this thing called PAR, which is basically an accountability system. If the person in command of a scene doesn't have you on the list of crew members, then you go in and get stuck in the structure and need help... you're screwed. Balance. If you're off-duty, live your life. Leave the work to your brothers and sisters on the clock.
Red T Yeah that’s entirely what I’d expect (except for the scanner because it doesn’t work like that in my country and it’s illegal). In fact most of the things, if not all, that you dislike are not allowed in my country. I’m not sure about legality for the other things but they’re probably not legal either. I just find it weird that people would go on a date with a person who has an on-call life and think they could trump the on-call part especially when it’s life or death! Just seems like crazy expectations. Yes if they weren’t on call at the time and had permission to drink etc but if they were on-call then… no. I get that people do it but it does not compute with me. Different rules, different situations so different expectations maybe?
Can’t tell you how many times during dinner at home my wife will say “I don’t see a fire pole in the living room!” One day I thought I would end the comment by being smart and respond in a natural firefighter way, she said her comment I then said, “I know there isn’t one, if there was, I would expect you to be dancing not bitching.” Few minutes later I woke up to my son laughing..
I've been watching firefighter tribute videos. Several had a clip of a firefighter falling thru a roof and a huge flame come up. Couldn't get it out of my head. Finally did some Googling. Capt. Peter Dern in Fresno. Rescued, stripped and soaked in water, then ER, then intensive care, then burn unit, finally rehab. It's been over a year and he's still struggling but he's home, alive and happy. Firefighters from all over raised money to help pay his bills. The fire was set by an arsonist. She was caught but I can't find any info on what happened to her. But Pete's alive and okay.
You should make an updated version of this and add on that we shouldn't be allowed to speak at the fancy/nice sit down dinners. Because there's honestly no telling what is gonna come out of our mouths. 🤣
Be prepared to love hard and fight hard. That level of passion is necessary, endearing, and infuriating. At least in many cities you get a 24 hr break when he/she goes to work. Then there’s the 48 hrs they are home, underfoot. ❤ my fireman ❤
One thing I noticed when I was married; my now-ex was a volunteer firefighter, and as many fire departments experience, often had to go out on Thanksgiving and/or Christmas to a housefire. Usually the fire was caused by some man wanting to be a "manly man," and cook the turkey in his smoker, but he had no idea how it worked, nor would he read the owner's guide. As I heard the various accounts of those things, I realized that the Dunning-Kruger effect seems to somehow spread exponentially the more inept the holiday "cooks" are.
heres a tip about dating anyone from any major service where the primary objective is to save lives. our job means we see crazy shit from the moment we go to work until the final week of our jobs. inside we are all messed up so be prepared for some dark shit you will have never seen before.
My best friend, his wife, and I are all Army Medics. My wife is the token civilian. When the four of us sit down, things get dark, ugly, and hilarious. Deep convo doesn't happen that often.
Lol, great video. I love the honesty, very refreshing change to the norm. My fav part..."If you want some more advice, don't date a cop!!"...PRICELESS!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Until I'd lived on my own for a few years, I ate like a fireman. I could eat half a large pizza without chewing once. Just rip off a piece and swallow, like a crocodile. Why? Because my brothers and father thought it was funny to take food off my plate. Got my first apartment at 24. At 26 or 27 I was able to just calmly eat my food in my home. When I'm out at a diner or something, I still eat like someone's trying to steal my food. But hey, progress.
The eating one is something my father laments not being able to stop because he feels so awkward scarfing down the meal and then waiting for everyone else. I didn’t realize I had picked up the same habit from my buddy who was used to keeping pace with his father who was the same way until I tried to have a casual meal with other people. It’s such a strange thing forcing yourself to eat slowly.
So true, the stories my hubby's crew told me of prac time blowing cars up so they could time themselves cutting people out, I'm glad I didn't know him then lol
Not sure if fire love their significant others more or love actually fire calls more. I’ve see. Fire crew take up to 2 minutes to get ready for a medical call but will have wheels turning in 30secs for fire calls.
This is awesome. Only wish I had seen this 2 years ago when I was dating one. People that I worked for, who had family that were firefighters warned me, but I didn't catch on. I should've just "gone with it". The comment in the video about shoving emotions, etc deep down in a dark place I'm sure is true. My firefighter had served in Afghanistan also.
My daughter in law is the only woman in her county, so... She's everyone's go to person for when the others are having personal problems. She should get a bonus for this.
be nice if I could date a Firefighter since I can't be one due to my hearing -_-. I am a natural loner so them being gone a long time doesn't bother me. as it does to others. I would be happy just to be there for support, cuddles, getting stuff all laid out time-wise for them so they don't have to get it ready if they get the call or not. but I guess I'll never be able to. I always wanted to be a cop, firefighter, military, EMT, etc. But can't do any of them because of my flat feet and hearing but would be nice if I could support;/ I saw some awful shit growing up so I am not at all bothered, just frustrated I can't help. Keep up the awesome videos! Thank you so much for making these!
It's never too late. Why don't you go to internet dating? It sounds cliche but my daughter found her soulmate. You know what you want at least! I wish you well!
There are other ways to help society and protect those you love. It is paramount to never give up. Just because a door closed in your life doesn't mean other's didn't open up. If you really desire to get the things you want in life then discover yourself (find out what you're best at, what you can do for others and then look at the things that impede you like your flat foot or bad hearing and then work and find solutions that fit you) Don't let cockiness and laziness stop you from reaching your utmost potential. You can do it!
Well......maybe just a bit exaggerated but ok. My late husband needed to go to the ER, but we knew if we called an ambulance they'd take him to our little towns hospital. Believe me, you don't want to go there. He couldn't stand up. Almost 10 years with congestive heart failure he know literally cannot stand up. Later found out his potassium level was 7. That's really high. Muscles don't work well. I called 911 and asked for help getting him into our car so I could take him to the best hospital near us. They sent out 2 fireman. Sweet guys. One huge guy, and one small guy. Both incredible sweet, strong and understanding. Did not come off that way at all. I think they knew just how sick he really was. My husband passed 4 days later. I'll never forget what they did. Fire fighters are incredible, amazing people. Thank you for your service and bravery ❤.
I worked at a Valet service for a hospital. My boss was a firefighter, he almost knocked patients down getting to the fire. They were all excited to do something more than walking and driving the same darn loop.
Everyone in my family is in the medical field and my dad was a nurse for 40 years. So pretty much everyone we know is the same as us. You forget sometimes it’s not appropriate to be talking about an anal fissure at dinner with non medical people.
My uncle was chief . He was a good man . He had deep conversation with aunt . And kids family . He did eat fast . Lol he was trained to do this . What comes down to is if the person can handle that life .
Also dating a voluntary fire fighter is a good practice before getting a baby... What ever you are planing, when ever you think you can have a nice nightsleep from 10 p.m. until a romantic sunrise...you can be sure the pager of your partner will disagree and give you a heart attack like 10 babys who are hungry, have pooped and all are teething at once....
I think I'll show this to my Czech wife, who has zero understanding of what 8 years in the Navy (some on a submarine, some with the USMC) has done to me...
I'm not a firefighter, or anything remotely close. But I worked a year at In n Out Burger. We got a five minute break. I could down a cheeseburger, fries, and a small milkshake in two minutes flat... it was either that, or I wasn't going to the bathroom until my shift was over. X3
I had a friend who was a firefighter/paramedic. I grew up with this guy and although I never dated him (he married my cousin), I did witness him eat. My response was: Holy cow, dude, did you even chew?! I had a guess as to why he had this sudden change in eating habits. After watching this video, turns out my guess was 100% correct. Lol
Odin be praised I laughed so hard it hurt all over I love this man's videos it's all so true makes you want to laugh cuz you're like yes yes oh hell yes dark humor is first responders shuuuueeeeaaahhh okay and the heckler all cuddlers and lovers that's all I want at the end of it is a hug a kiss is spot on it's maybe not the deadliest job but it is like the hardest if not one of the hardest the hardest jobs to be a first responder a firefighter paramedic EMS police officers we all give each other hate but we're all a part of the same family it's our job to save everybody's ass not kiss it we will help you no matter what but we are human too that's why laughter is a good thing for us and this guy gets it so right in every video he does
Re: Number Two-th piece of advice ftom fellow firefighters ( 0:50 ) : that is actually really great advice for many, if not most situations. ("Aay, yanno what? Screw that, bro! Move on!")
Thanks, Jason! This advice could have been usefull 40 years ago. I am a women and I was a very fast eater. Every men I dated hated it. So now I know I was in need for a fire fighter to enjoy life. Yet, God never send one.
He’s a funny dude. I work for nypd and love ff my coworkers get so jealous calling me traitor. I’m like whatever I liken what I like. Too funny he said don’t date a officer at the end! 🤣
The partners need to remember that as well, you marry an emergency officer, you marry the job also...My hubby was a firie for 42 Yrs & it takes a special person to take the lows with the highs.....always said to my girlfriends that if my house was up in flames, I would prefer the firie had his/her full attention on the job, not at home, someone has to do the job, let them do it 100%
Over 3 years of dating and whenever we have a bad argument: “my patient died right before you first messaged me!” (He would swipe online dating during down time) As if it were my fault and I’m the harbinger of death. At first I took it personally, now I just laugh when he brings it up.
My ex is a fireman. Spent times sitting in the car on calls, always ate good, and go sit in the comfy recliners watch TV while he left on calls. Then go outside in the bay when he returned. And never be amazed at the stuff fireman say.
I'm totally down with this...send me the link where to go and pick him up. Im watching, listening, and thinking, this is like totally my rescue dog. Hyperactive, ADHD, obeys basic commands, anxious sloppy eater, likes cuddles. COOL!
Can do a spot on French accent but British sounds like some zombie frankenstein mashup of British, South African, New Zealander, Australian, Bostonian, and New Yorker. It's pretty amazing how not British it is.
Well I've known women who dated firefighters, got beat up and the judge dismissed their complaint. Why? Because they're firefighters. Like cops, the judge doesn't favor the citizen, they favor the city worker. It's not about justice, it's about economics. Putting a firefighter in jail for battery will trigger an investigation into the department... etc etc. You see where I'm going with this? Money is the core of judges decisions, not justice.
That was a nice Boston, aussie, british, shakespear, jersey accent. Well done.

My best friend, his wife, and I are all Army Medics. My wife is the token civilian. When the four of us sit down, things get dark, ugly, and hilarious. Deep convo doesn't happen that often.
As a former professional paramedic, a voluntary fire fighter and after all an anaesthesiologist and emergency physician: Boy, you're right! XD ^^
Lol, great video. I love the honesty, very refreshing change to the norm.
My fav part..."If you want some more advice, don't date a cop!!"...PRICELESS!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
Until I'd lived on my own for a few years, I ate like a fireman. I could eat half a large pizza without chewing once. Just rip off a piece and swallow, like a crocodile. Why? Because my brothers and father thought it was funny to take food off my plate.
Got my first apartment at 24. At 26 or 27 I was able to just calmly eat my food in my home. When I'm out at a diner or something, I still eat like someone's trying to steal my food. But hey, progress.
The eating one is something my father laments not being able to stop because he feels so awkward scarfing down the meal and then waiting for everyone else.
I didn’t realize I had picked up the same habit from my buddy who was used to keeping pace with his father who was the same way until I tried to have a casual meal with other people. It’s such a strange thing forcing yourself to eat slowly.
Also blowing stuff up and setting things on fire when hanging out off duty.
So true, the stories my hubby's crew told me of prac time blowing cars up so they could time themselves cutting people out, I'm glad I didn't know him then lol
I was an auto mechanic and we used to set off old airbags for fun.
My husband is a firefighter and he did 23 and me and literally got Neanderthal dna results back. Lmao!!
Fire is bad, and water is good
*grease fire has joined the chat
BEST!!!!
Grease fire: "hold my beer..."
Just means you've used insufficient water.
Thank God my wife's a nurse! She gets that I can't slow down over dinners, and she has a dislike of dumb people like me!
This is 100% true...also applies to ED/Trauma and ICU and Psych nurses...
Not sure if fire love their significant others more or love actually fire calls more. I’ve see. Fire crew take up to 2 minutes to get ready for a medical call but will have wheels turning in 30secs for fire calls.
This is awesome. Only wish I had seen this 2 years ago when I was dating one. People that I worked for, who had family that were firefighters warned me, but I didn't catch on.
I should've just "gone with it". The comment in the video about shoving emotions, etc deep down in a dark place I'm sure is true. My firefighter had served in Afghanistan also.
Why you should you saw it? Regret dating or not marrying?
My daughter in law is the only woman in her county, so... She's everyone's go to person for when the others are having personal problems. She should get a bonus for this.
“Other stuff I can’t say in this video” LoL!!
be nice if I could date a Firefighter since I can't be one due to my hearing -_-. I am a natural loner so them being gone a long time doesn't bother me. as it does to others. I would be happy just to be there for support, cuddles, getting stuff all laid out time-wise for them so they don't have to get it ready if they get the call or not. but I guess I'll never be able to. I always wanted to be a cop, firefighter, military, EMT, etc. But can't do any of them because of my flat feet and hearing but would be nice if I could support;/ I saw some awful shit growing up so I am not at all bothered, just frustrated I can't help. Keep up the awesome videos! Thank you so much for making these!
It's never too late. Why don't you go to internet dating? It sounds cliche but my daughter found her soulmate. You know what you want at least! I wish you well!
There are other ways to help society and protect those you love. It is paramount to never give up. Just because a door closed in your life doesn't mean other's didn't open up. If you really desire to get the things you want in life then discover yourself (find out what you're best at, what you can do for others and then look at the things that impede you like your flat foot or bad hearing and then work and find solutions that fit you) Don't let cockiness and laziness stop you from reaching your utmost potential. You can do it!
Of course, everyone needs a loving touch no matter how tough they may seem.
Video cracked me up LOL!
That last piece of advice is actually the most useful.
Mans switched accents more than Matt Damon in The Great Wall
Ok girls, before dating or marrying one (especially if he is both Fire & EMS)... know he will ALWAYS know your weight.
"Don't date a cop" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 SAVAGE
I grew up with a volunteer Firefighter Dad . He retired now . He awesome dad
Coming from a firefighter girlfriend. You must be supportive with your firefighter. Your heart drops when tones drop.
Well......maybe just a bit exaggerated but ok. My late husband needed to go to the ER, but we knew if we called an ambulance they'd take him to our little towns hospital. Believe me, you don't want to go there. He couldn't stand up. Almost 10 years with congestive heart failure he know literally cannot stand up. Later found out his potassium level was 7. That's really high. Muscles don't work well. I called 911 and asked for help getting him into our car so I could take him to the best hospital near us. They sent out 2 fireman. Sweet guys. One huge guy, and one small guy. Both incredible sweet, strong and understanding. Did not come off that way at all. I think they knew just how sick he really was. My husband passed 4 days later. I'll never forget what they did. Fire fighters are incredible, amazing people. Thank you for your service and bravery ❤.
That last line just killed me!!! Oh my god, this was amazing!!!!
I worked at a Valet service for a hospital. My boss was a firefighter, he almost knocked patients down getting to the fire. They were all excited to do something more than walking and driving the same darn loop.
OMG I just found this an Amen brother. We should all come with this as a warning label.... lol
Everyone in my family is in the medical field and my dad was a nurse for 40 years. So pretty much everyone we know is the same as us. You forget sometimes it’s not appropriate to be talking about an anal fissure at dinner with non medical people.
The advice being summed up as, "move on bro" made me laugh so hard. This being the only advice you'll get, applies to SO MANY GROUPS.
Born on April 27, 1983, Jason Patton hails from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States.
Not an Aussie, but we love his humour.
I dated a cop. That was such good advice, especially the last one.
I'm married to a cop. He works at an airport and they trained him to be a firefighter and paramedic because they don't want to hire extra people.
He kinda looks like Cap from Chicago Fire
Bottle Of Water that a was thinking
Yes!
As an EMT I feel touched by your Description of eating and have to say, you Sir, are a messenger for everyone in the Fire and Rescue-Service.
My uncle was chief . He was a good man . He had deep conversation with aunt . And kids family . He did eat fast . Lol he was trained to do this . What comes down to is if the person can handle that life .
Also dating a voluntary fire fighter is a good practice before getting a baby... What ever you are planing, when ever you think you can have a nice nightsleep from 10 p.m. until a romantic sunrise...you can be sure the pager of your partner will disagree and give you a heart attack like 10 babys who are hungry, have pooped and all are teething at once....
I am NOT a fire fighter, but literally everything except the "Fire hot, water good!" I can relate to.
I think I'll show this to my Czech wife, who has zero understanding of what 8 years in the Navy (some on a submarine, some with the USMC) has done to me...
Hahahahaha. Its true. People should also expect us to basically never be home for the important stuff. Cause likely we are working. Hahahah
I'm not a firefighter, or anything remotely close. But I worked a year at In n Out Burger. We got a five minute break.
I could down a cheeseburger, fries, and a small milkshake in two minutes flat... it was either that, or I wasn't going to the bathroom until my shift was over. X3
I have to remind my husband he's not at work all of the time so we can actually have a convo at the dinner table.
I had a friend who was a firefighter/paramedic. I grew up with this guy and although I never dated him (he married my cousin), I did witness him eat. My response was: Holy cow, dude, did you even chew?!
I had a guess as to why he had this sudden change in eating habits. After watching this video, turns out my guess was 100% correct. Lol
Not only good advice but a trip around the world!
Odin be praised I laughed so hard it hurt all over I love this man's videos it's all so true makes you want to laugh cuz you're like yes yes oh hell yes dark humor is first responders shuuuueeeeaaahhh okay and the heckler all cuddlers and lovers that's all I want at the end of it is a hug a kiss is spot on it's maybe not the deadliest job but it is like the hardest if not one of the hardest the hardest jobs to be a first responder a firefighter paramedic EMS police officers we all give each other hate but we're all a part of the same family it's our job to save everybody's ass not kiss it we will help you no matter what but we are human too that's why laughter is a good thing for us and this guy gets it so right in every video he does
My uncle is a retired Fire Fighter & he's still a pain in the ass after 15 years out
FACT: You can determine how busy of a place someone works by how fast they can eat.
I don’t laugh out loud easily, this guy actually makes me laugh.
One of my favorite channels. Cute and goofy funny, just my type of guy! Keep the videos coming! 💖
His accent just makes it A MILLION times funnier. Hahahaha
Re: Number Two-th piece of advice ftom fellow firefighters ( 0:50 ) : that is actually really great advice for many, if not most situations. ("Aay, yanno what? Screw that, bro! Move on!")
If it brings problems and not peace, it ain't got a place in your life.
Dating a fireman is all about the hose control and how they drive their engine!
I love the advice!!! The stuff ur going thru....Not talking emergencies
Thanks, Jason! This advice could have been usefull 40 years ago. I am a women and I was a very fast eater. Every men I dated hated it.
So now I know I was in need for a fire fighter to enjoy life. Yet, God never send one.
every thanksgiving getting food in the stomach is the goal, we always getting a fire on thanksgiving!!!
Every holiday, birthday, birth of a child, etc
You nailed all the hodgepodge of accents that come with our coworkers 😂😂😂😂
Shared this video with my partner of 30 yrs. Her comment was “i wish someone would have told me this when I was dating you all of those years ago!”
Retired military here. We eat like that because our food occasionally did get stolen.😂 well, not usually the omelet with grits mre. 💩
Well... that's all true! Sat down to dinner and we were toned out for a medical call.
My experience of FF is they are brave, bossy, black and white thinkers. Don't have a conflicting opinion.
I got out of the Army a few years and still eat like a Drill Sergeant is screaming at me to hurry the fuck up... I served for nine years...
He’s a funny dude. I work for nypd and love ff my coworkers get so jealous calling me traitor. I’m like whatever I liken what I like. Too funny he said don’t date a officer at the end! 🤣
Firefighters work weekends and holidays and overtime...sometimes 24 hrs shifts...love it or leave it !!!
The partners need to remember that as well, you marry an emergency officer, you marry the job also...My hubby was a firie for 42 Yrs & it takes a special person to take the lows with the highs.....always said to my girlfriends that if my house was up in flames, I would prefer the firie had his/her full attention on the job, not at home, someone has to do the job, let them do it 100%
Over 3 years of dating and whenever we have a bad argument: “my patient died right before you first messaged me!” (He would swipe online dating during down time) As if it were my fault and I’m the harbinger of death. At first I took it personally, now I just laugh when he brings it up.
Love dating a firefighter... my car’s never been clearer.
I would do okay at the eating thing because they made us eat really fast in boot camp and I have never broken the habit. It's been 36 years.
😂😂😂 "Don't date a cop." 😂😂😂😂😂
The best advice is at the very end. Love it.
I love this guy. 🥰 I bet he's the life of the party and a joy to have around or with.
I am from Germany and... this is scary accurate... oO
My ex is a fireman. Spent times sitting in the car on calls, always ate good, and go sit in the comfy recliners watch TV while he left on calls. Then go outside in the bay when he returned. And never be amazed at the stuff fireman say.
I'm totally down with this...send me the link where to go and pick him up. Im watching, listening, and thinking, this is like totally my rescue dog. Hyperactive, ADHD, obeys basic commands, anxious sloppy eater, likes cuddles. COOL!
You crack me up dude.......even trying on the crazy accent!
Can do a spot on French accent but British sounds like some zombie frankenstein mashup of British, South African, New Zealander, Australian, Bostonian, and New Yorker. It's pretty amazing how not British it is.
Well I've known women who dated firefighters, got beat up and the judge dismissed their complaint. Why? Because they're firefighters. Like cops, the judge doesn't favor the citizen, they favor the city worker. It's not about justice, it's about economics. Putting a firefighter in jail for battery will trigger an investigation into the department... etc etc. You see where I'm going with this? Money is the core of judges decisions, not justice.
I'm writing a story where a firefighter and a cop get married, Id love some stories about cops verses firefighters lol.
Why does this just make me want to date a firefighter even more?
Hahahaha that ending though
