    I have a problem:

    My mom made a good point when we were discussing me becoming a junior FF for a station.
    "What are you going to do if you see something you can't deal with?"
    I didn't know how to answer... I believe I am mature enough, gruesome things have never realy bothered me but then again I have never expiranced anything really bad (which is kinda why I want to do this, it to make sure I can handle it). So basicly I am asking for advice on 1) What do you do to handle stuff? 2) how do I tell my mom I think I can handle it? PM me, post it, MSN me,W.E.

    Well, there are some things that will bother you and get to you no matter what. For example a Pedi (Pediactric) code , will get to the first day rookie all the way to the 35 year seasoned "vet". Some things you won't know how it will bother you until you experience it. But, if something bothers you talk to the other guys your with. Some of them have probably experienced something similiar. You can try to talk about it to someone else, but if they haven't experienced it like you have then they won't 100% understand. Besides, if nothing bothers you and you can just watch someone die and not feel something, then there is a problem.

    So am I lol.
    @Anders, I think that at some calls, (i.e. suicide call where the gun, knife, rope wins), the guys may either keep you back or ask if you wanna see. That's what'll probably happen to me. Just if you have problems, talk to someone. Don't keep it in because that's actually dangerous for your health.

    jack, like hannahan said, always vent out to people through pm or w/e, im free to listen if you need also..and being a junior, idk what your dept policies on it are, but for us we can't go to ems runs..but like for mva's ive seen a lot of bad stuff, never death,but some bad stuff..but my guys know im going into the fire service as a career, so they understand im going to see this stuff..like ive backboarded a lady from and mva, who had deer guts allover her and blood ( both her's and deers) and its really not that bad, cuz you realize that your helping someone on what is probably their worst day of their life, thats what i live by..you think about it afterwords how gross it was, but at the moment, you just think about helping that person...hope this has helped

    well your controling people that are flying in a flight simulator which i do to but what i'm looking for is more contolers to control the people on the ground and in the air...the software it uses is free and you don't need a very powerful computer since it's pretty much just a radar sceen with a few pixles of data but you talk and control the planes to provied seperation and safe travel

    i didn't realize how big that picture is.....


    anyway I can do you one almost as good as the munitions....it was mostly city company is a few from another county it was a county over from us but there was an explosions at a gas drilling rig and it was spreading to the containers that carried the gas and the containers that carried other toxic materials it was a very hot very toxic fire for a very long time you can't even fight those fires you pretty much go to protect everything not already on fire and wait for it to burn down

    Today I was in Chicago all day. In the first 15 minutes we walked out of the station, we saw 3 ambulances go by and heard one firetruck really close. They all had EQ2B's and the truck had airhorns.

    i'm 99.9% sure it's me the other person with a yellow helmet was also on scene but the white you see on the hand is the inside liner of our jackets since we use the short gloves we pull those down to cover our wrists and hands.
