LoL, funny how we're in the "off topic" forum of the boards but we still get shut down for going ...off topic.

Anyhow, yah, our friend started out as a volunteer EMT, worked his way thru rescue training, fire training...and all sorts of stuff I have no idea about. He's now a paid EMT in Patterson and recently got it into his head that he'd like to be a (paid) fireman (he's 22). But he only wants to work in NYC, of course.

Kudos to you for volunteering! :cheer:

the funny thing is now the state troopers wont let use close the highway down on a medevac call where a helicopter has to come because the state loses money, goes to show you how much nj cares for their people=( and they only allow use to close one lane down, so our chief told us to leave with everything if we cant close more than 1 lanes because we feel that firefighters lives are a risk.
