Firefighter Training Stinks

Now back when I rode the tailboard a firefighter had to be ready to fight a boatload of fire. We would leave one one building and go to the next with smoke pushing and people going nuts.

Nowadays things are more relaxed but the nuts are still out there. These boys now are lucky if they get to pull a line two or three times a tour so they need a lot of old Buck's war stories to tell them how to do it.

The problem is the training pukles come along and teach them just the opposite. My philosophy is simple. If you are good at what you do you stay there doing it. A guy in training wasn't worth a shit out in the street so they stuck him where he could do little harm.



Why can't thy just stay in their offices pencil whipping training reports? No, they gotta screw it up by coming out to my house and screwing with my crew. Old Buck puts a stop to it quick though. I'll ask them to ride with us and show us how its done. They head out fast because they don't want no part of firefighting.

That's why they are in training.
