RyGuy :
All I had to bring were donuts and the chief said everyone will likely say thanks but no thanks and then eat them when I’m not there. I came back into the room 4 hours later and only one was left.

A fresh fruit platter and some soda waters has been my go too for a station visit gift, crews love it, it’s healthy and it’s not too expensive

Nico Paino :
I think things vary by dept bc I know some places want everyone addressed by rank and last name while other people prefer not. I think it's best to start that way until told otherwise.

SincerelyAna :
I never understood why people always take donuts and icecream especially when the freezer is full of icecream. Just bc it’s “tradition”

Thank you for being more than just another person on shift. As a student your experience is more than helpful.

Apple User322827 :
Same thing you should do at any position applies to ride alongs… show up early, don’t be a shitbag, aim to learn as much as you possibly can, get the fuck after it, share a laugh and a cup of coffee with the guys every chance you get, make time for your traditions (get that game of corn hole, movie time, or game of pool in), and lastly make sure everybody goes home. If you do that for 30 years you will be good at the most fun and rewarding job there is and it will be an easy 30 years. Pay attention to the culture too, know what the organization is before you commit to it. As an officer I never let my guys wash the rigs and dishes without me, I ride the damn truck and I eat the food, if they aren’t lazy I’m not gonna be either. You can’t be a pushover as an officer but you can’t let them see you as a dictator either, you’re not only their boss in this job you’re their brother, you’re a part of the family they spend more time with than their wife and kids, so be a good family member. If the culture doesn’t reflect that find you a new place to seek employment. These are guys you’ll be going with into buildings that kill firemen every day across this nation. Make sure your people give a damn before you’re setting off your pass under a pile of rubble.

RJC :
I had one ride-along, we were at a possible struture fire. Guy was soldering copper pipe. I pulled the line and the ride-along says to me “Man! You should have let me pull that! I’d have looked like a rockstar.” Sorry bud, we don’t have time for that.

Old timer in the academy said to me "you can teach a monkey to put clear stuff on the Red stuff" but getting along in the fire house is what you need to learn! Valuable Skill ....retired 🇺🇸
