tysohug Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I was wondering how many people on here are VFF or career FF. Im VFF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n00bingtarget Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 I'm a former Vol. FF. I was going to be a career, but 2 weeks before I was supposed to start on Green Bay Fire Department, they diagnosed me with Asthma (was sick at the time with a nice chest cold, maybe that sku'd the test). Now no city will hire me. Worst, I have the degree, I interned with a fire department for 2 semesters, and had been a volunteer for about 6 years when that happened, and I knew I could do the job. I was a paid-on-call (similar to Vol. for those of you not familiar with it, just we get a wage when we have a call and respond) after the diagnosis too. Oh well, guess things happen for a reason. I really do miss it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

n00bingtarget Posted March 23, 2016 Report Share Posted March 23, 2016 Well, I have always had an interest in computers, so that was my fall back job. I am hoping that one day when my children are older and I move somewhere more rural, I can get back to being a volunteer. I know that they have some more options. Cities won't take the liability. I was a fire fighter after that diagnosis, so I know the job isn't an issue for me. Knowing several fire fighters on the local fire department (I interned with some of them) helps too.
