Any other fireman on Eastmans Forum.

Was just curious if there was any other fireman on here that had both passions. Hunting and fighting fire. I have been a volunteer fireman for 6 years and wouldn't trade it for anything. We average 180 to 200 calls a year and we don't do medical calls either.

I might be putting in an app so put in a good word! I'm with you, job ranks high but family and hunting comes above.

I would say put in for every western state if you want to elk hunt. It might be a while to draw a tag with the exception of ore, co, Id with OTC tags but it's an OTC hunt, can be great and visa versa. Good luck bubba.

Hey guys, I have been Working for CAL FIRE for 4 season down in Sonoma County. I love my job cuz most of the time i get to spend it outdoors. It gets you in great shape for deer season, and once the season ends, what do you know duck season starts.

Haha. Yeah when I worked blm, and single, I hunted ducks almost every day! Life was awesome. I killed a buttload of ducks that season.

@ ffd. The schedule is awesome. I was on light duty for a couple months and 8-5 killed me from coming from a 24 hr assignment. I love the schedule.

 

[cali_hornhunter]

Ya the schedule is pretty awesome 72 hr shift and then 4 days off especially in the summer those are the best cuz 4 days of scouting usually dont even come home after work lol but thats me being 21 and single haha

 

[BenHuntin]

Ya the schedule is awesome. I work the trades in the winter, and its just not the same.
