When I started a senior FF said to me,"you spend a good portion of your life trying to get a job where you have 20 days a month off, then you spend the rest of your career trying to get that other 10 off!"
In all seriousness we rarely sleep through the night,train and bust our butts when we're working...except for Sundays

Prior to being a firefighter I wanted to be a BLM ranger, but fell into firefighting by chance.
