Hey all !

Many of you may know that I'm a fire fighter. But for those who don't well now you do! So there you go!

So anyway I have a lot of funny stories, cool adventures, some dangerous things I've done, and some pretty useful advice some of which I hope you already know lol but I figured it would be nice to share!

It'll be good for you guys to know what I do, and share some laughs with me, and also some tough things! I'll always let you know before i start telling a story what kind it'll be so you can decide to read it or not.

Well a real quick one I'll share actually happened last night! This one is just shere stupidity.

We got a call around 12:30am for a structure fire, so i was excited to go and fight that fire, but when we arrived on scene it was just a shed, but it was a "man's cave shed" a Tv, wood stove, it was pretty sweet. Well when it was burning. But we got it out fortunitely and managed to save 90% of the structure. But we didn't know why it burned where it did, it wasn't near the wood stove, or anything electrical. So immediately we assume arson, but when we had the police question the guy, the guy had a look of disbelief and frustration. He realized that earlier in the afternoon around 1 PM he had a styrofoam container with leaves in it and he put the ashes from the stove in there and put snow on top. Well the snow melted and the leaves caught fire, and caused the fire. I couldn't believe what i heard, how stupid this guy was I'm thinking to myself. But we put the fire out, and managed to give him some security by saying he wasn't the first, and won't be the last.

So moral of this story is to put your ashes somewhere that it won't burn anything down! Don't be stupid like that !!


Hope you enjoyed, and I hope you think this is a good idea! As things happen I'll post them on here!


Thanks so much everyone!!

So this is just a dumb amsuing story that happened to me on the way to school this morning... Hope you guys got a kick out of it cause I didn't I was so mad lol


I was driving to school this morning going 65 MPH because thats the best MPG's i get, right around 40. I was driving in the slow lane on the highway and everyone else was going around 75 or 80. So as I continue driving I pass a state trooper whom i make direct eye contact with and smile as i drive past. Within 1 minute I have that said officer pulling me over, as he approaches me in my car he says "do you know why i pulled you over?"


"um no I really can't tell you because i have no idea"


"you were going to slow"


I didnt say this but i was like what the fuck dude i was going 65.. so i asked him how i was going to slow, and he tells me i was going 65 which i was aware of and the continues telling me i was a hazard going that slow with everyone else doing the speed they were. So at this point I'm beyond pissed so i say to him rudely "So you pull me over for going 65 MPH in a 65 MPH zone, i was obeying the law and you waste my time by pulling me over.. why not pull anyone else over?" He said that it is suspicious to see a 18 year old driving the speed limit, so i say to him "first of all im 19, second of all i get much better gas milage going 65 than i do going faster..." So he proceeds to question me and then asks me to exit the vehicle so he can search it.. I immeditely say to him "No you aren't searching my car you have no warrent and no reason to"


His response was "it is suspicious driving so i need to search the vehicle for illegal substances"


i said "go look at the front of the car and tell me any reason i want to risk losing my spot on the department with some drugs"


As he looks at notices my fire  department plate and says i can obtain that anywhere which is not true. Finally he notices my inspection sticker whch isn't up to date. He says well i need to write you a ticket for your inspection sticker being over due. And i said to him "You go ahead and do that and I will see you in court because i will refuse to pay it because you pulled me over for going 65 in a 65."

The last thing he said to me was "Alright fine I will let it slide this time but next time you wont be so lucky."

Now im pissed so i said " OH THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR GENEROSITY IM SO THANKFUL!!"

Then he mumbled something as he walked away. So im already caught up with my bullshit for the year and its only april 2nd -_-


Well i hope you enjoyed my wonderful story which caused me to be late for school.. Someone may get a laugh out of it and I'm sure i will one day lol


Thanks for reading guys!!
