There's a certain level of irony in advocating for a "more relaxing and better test experience" when discussing a test used to get hired into a high stress/high pressure job like police officer or firefighter.

You need to define "relevant"?
The purpose of much of the (firefighter) test was never to determine what fire knowledge you have, you will learn that at the academy. The reason a large portion is math & reading comp is because the purpose is to determine who has the basic academic skills to be able to understand the concepts and material taught in the acadamy. If you can not do basic math, it is very hard to keep up during pump calculation, etc.

I wished you were right 635, but the best candidate is no longer part of the dynamic

Saw the NR Fellas on a relocate to our Quarters on Monday. They had L-14 as spare, said new rig doesn't fit into their Firehouse.....?

"Back in the day you could tell the number of alarms a fire was by the length of the "stringers" hangin from the truckies noses when they poke their heads out of a window ...two inch stringer was two alarms, four inch stringer was four alarms and so forth."

791075 is correct, the length of a " Great Lake Greenie" indicated the amount of resources needed for fire extinguishment

I will start it off with this one:
I was driving the DC one tour early in my career. The date was Feb 14 and being the height of the cold and flu season there happened to be a few more members on sick than usual. A hand written note was delivered to the DC that said " My K#^*n you have quite the romantic squad. ( name withheld to protect the innocent ).

"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story"

Play the video backwards...it will look like the fire is going out.

After the I 95 diesel tanker explosion he told news 12 that he had several hundred gallons of diesel that was "on the loose".

It was certainly an honor to have worked for Snotty. A salty ole Chief who always had a quick one liner waiting in the wings. He has been quoted twice in a different topic so I figure we should start one for him. For all you new guys out there I will tell you that 50% of the stories are true, you just need to figure out which 50%. There have been quite a few laughs at the kitchen table from his wit so if you have one post one

FirNaTine is correct when standards and common sense are thrown out the window or politics enters, when vetting new canidates to career fire departments. It is important not to compromise as it is not fair to the F.D-citizens and the candidate' Poor hirings will bite you in the arse down the road sooner or later. All believe in giving folks a chance and perhaps a second chance but not in Public Safety where the stakes are too high.

I once heard him ask a person at a major incident if he had won his company in a card game. I almost pi$$ed my bunkers laughing!!

True. It is because Snotty had a proclivity for uncommon words or phrases that no one could equal.
