Application Form on its way

[Ryan 188]

My Dad (Firefighter for 20+ years, still serving) has asked his Station Manager to send me an application form to join my local Station as a retained Firefighter, i've wanted to be a Firefighter ever since i can remember & now i can finally do it im really nervous :lol, so this thread has a point...does anyone else want to become a Firefighter when there older or are you already one?

Nice one on the job if you get it Mr P (which sounds like you will). And to answer the question, no I've never really had any desire to be a fireman.

[Guest Kanenite]

Yeh nice one Mr P, good luck with the job. I've never wanted to be a fireman either :P

[Dead Crow 370]

Only ever wanted to be a fireman once, for 5 seconds. Then I wanted to be a wrestler again.

 

I have dressed up in a firemans outfit before though. I looked good :)

[Guest Al Stevens]

Mr P i really hope that you get this job, and i wish you all the luck in the world :)

 

However for your question i never have done. I had a fear of fires when i was younger and ever since i damaged my knees i know i wouldn't pass the tests.

My Brother in Law is a retained firefighter....

 

Its a career that I have thought about on numerous occasions, especially as a retained firefighter, but the fact is I couldnt be a retained fighter due to the hours I work, and the distance between my work and home station....

 

Always like the thought of being part of the NYFD.......

To be honest Ive never wanted to be one,but best of luck with it:xyx

[Nimf 324]

Good luck!

 

As for me-contrary to my sig, I am NOT going to be a fireman when the floods roll back... I think i'm too short.

[Guest Laffy]

Never wanted tobe a fireman but good luck with the job :)

[DC 536]

I looked good :)

Was this only for five seconds too.:P

 

 

Good luck P.

[Guest Danny Styles]

sorry to sound thick but what is a retained fireman?. and good luck Mr P :thumbsup

[Guest FreeSpirit]

sorry to sound thick but what is a retained fireman?

 

A retained fireman gets paid only for the specific time they are responding to emergencies, but aren't employed as full time firefighters. :xyx

The fireman is very magical. Rub his helmet and he spits in your eye.

[Guest Gemsi]

Yay for the the job!

The only reason I ever wanted to be a firefighter (before meeting paul obviously) was as you get to watch brave fit men in uniform all day. I'd preferred to have been a receptionist mind, as then you don't have to be brave and fit aswell.

 

I wanted to be a ghostbuster, but then watched the films and got scared off my evil scarey floaty man.

 

Then I wanted to be a nurse or school teacher, but I'd run out of puff by then (stop giggling!)

 

I think it's cool to want to do stuff that could save many billions of lives. Good for you!

[Guest Slim Jim]

I don't think one fireman is going to save billions of lives, but it's a start. Good luck to ya.
