Guest guest Posted June 14, 1999 Report Share Posted June 14, 1999 You Might Be A Rural Southern Fire Department If: Your two way radio transmissions all begin with "Breaker, Breaker". You have ever been dispatched to a working "cow" fire. You ever put out a cow chip fire. Your PASS alarm goes "Yeee Haw". Your dispatch center ever said, "Ya'll can't miss it". You used your rescue air bags as furniture at the fire station. You refill your air bottles at the local gas station "Free Air" hose. Your department has a Rescue Bubba and a Rescue Cow for training. You only wash down the floor in the station to "keep the dust down". Your radio call signal is "Wheee doggies". You have to mark the department out of service two weeks during deer season and every Sunday during the Winston Cup Race. You bought a computer so you could get NASCAR Online on the Internet. You count reading fire magazines in the bathroom as training hours. Your last four fire department raffles were for a shotgun, and a member won it each time. You borrowed the department's quick dump tank so you could have a neighborhood pool party. Your safety officer is the person who broke his arm at the last house fire. Your rehab consists of a cold beer and a pack of "nabs". Your last serious fire was your fire department BBQ---or fuzzy's house...lol. You used your "good" fire hose as a bumper on your boat dock. You have a shotgun rack in the back of your fire truck.....and got two bucks on your last call. Your Hurst tool is on loan to the local body shop. You use a hanging noose knot for all your rescue operations because it's real adjustable. You don't allow a person to join the department unless they own a pickup. You wore a hole in your fire boots....while wearing them at your full time job. You keep 2 packs of "Red Man" in your turnout gear for "emergencies". Your departments brush truck doubles as your hunting truck. You voted against the last person for chief because he was a Gordon fan. You painted your new rescue truck to look like Earnhart's race car. You borrowed the fire truck to use the sptolights for deer hunting. The directions to your last house fire was "Go down past the last house you burnt up" and you know exactly which house they are talking about. Your ever went diving in a swimming pool with your SCBA equipment.... just to see how it would work. You must take the battery out of your tractor to put in the fire truck before you go on calls. Your preacher borrows your PASS alarms each Sunday for church to keep the congregation awake. You consider "2 in and 2 out" to be two guys in the cab and two on the tailboard of the truck. The last girl you kissed was named Resci-Annie and you enjoyed it so much you are thinking seriously about asking her out. -- eCode: http://lpowell.eCode.com eGroups.com home: /group/ www. - Simplifying group communications Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
