You Know You're a BUFF When...

[Future Fireman 4]

There was a 'You know you're a dispatcher' thread awhile back, but how about a buff list.

Here's a couple of ideas

You know you're a buff when.....

When you know the location of all the companies in the city/county/town

When you know a box assignment to everywhere in the city. You can even name the Talkgroup for the fireground.

You know dispatch assignments for anything, CO alarm, Master Box, First Responders, etc...

Anyone got anything else?
