Some DUmmy mentioned that firemen get paid to sleep.
This alleged fireman, DUmmy IronGate got pissed off.
Unfortunately, he is treading on territory already claimed by the crazy bald dwarf:

Ok DU, I've been given permission by my station Captain to post on this site,
a typical FF/Para's 24 hour duty watch in response to this:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024776491#post43
I'll be carrying my laptop and posting every call, minus personal info on medical, and any fires, structure or wildland, that take place.
This will happen this Sunday during my shift.
I hope everyone enjoys it and understands just what is involved in a typical day for Fire Rescue personnel.

This cannot go without comment.

15. Just do me a favor
Stay safe...says the former paramedic.
And the same goes to the rest of your department. The thing I hated was funerals...they get too personal.

35. Why?
My brother is a firefighter and EMT, and as a journalist I have interacted with first responders on several occasions, and have interviewed fire chiefs for many rural news stories.
The information you are claiming you will post (essentially log entries stripped of HIPAA violations) is public by most Freedom of Information statutes, so why would the name of the city be sensitive?
Uh oh. This is going to be a probem. Another DUmmy trampling more territory belonging to the nutcase.

44. What paper do you work for
and have you won awards? And if you go to a man down at a well, do you have enough knowledge to ask about atmospherics?
Now I am going to call you on your BS.
I will answer myself
I have won awards from the local press club and work for the East County Magazine in San Diego, and when we went to a man down in Potrero, we did ask questions on both the atmospherics, and whether they used a 3:1 advantage or 4:1 advantage and did get that answered by a CAL-FIRE battalion Chief

24. What about us reporters who do listen to the dang scanner at home?
Mostly it is wild fire season and we warn citizens of potential Evac routes closed due to accidents. At times it takes upwards of four hours to clear a dang road (fatalities tend to do that). Or when actual fires do start...at times we even physically drag our happy asses to the fire line to cover the event.
I understand the disdain but I am personally looking forwards to it. If this is a high volume call department, I can expect a long list of incidents. Hell I worked for one and chasing the radio was common. My max number of calls in a 16 hour period (another country worked two shifts) was 20 calls. The longest shift ever worked was 36, due to one nasty MCI.
To the OP no we're not hotshots (not in the elite FF meaning ). We actually carry water, food and full two layer Nomex with helmets. (Boy it is never cheap) I know, what a concept. But we do not want to be part of the problem. Other crap we carry, paper and electronic maps, a compass, a first aid kit and other sundries, apart of trade tools such as pens, notebooks and cameras, and of course the scanner. Like situational awareness is critical...
She is a hotshot in every way except the elite FF meaning.

I used to be a Paramedic in another country, it was a fairly high call urban setting, and these days I am a reporter. But when we cover fires from the front lines we wear the exact same gear firefighters wear. It is a safety issue.

This has movie of the week written all over it.
A portion of the script...
nadin (while looking done the well): Listen here man down well! What is the atmospherics there?
Man in well (looks up with his eyes wide after hearing her question): Damn! You sound like the chick from Rocky and Bulwinkle but look more like that guy on the money! Who are you?
nadin: Award winning reporter, trained historian, and all around knowallogist. Now what is the atmospherics?
Man in well: How the hell am I supposed to know? Why don’t you just move so they can throw a rope down here.
nadin: Enjoy your stay and welcome to the iggy list.
nadin looks around at one of the firefighters and goes to him.
Firefighter: Excuse me sir, but you are in the way.
nadin: I am award winning reporter. How are you going to get the bully from the well?
Firefighter: A rope and a 3:1 advantage. Now please move. We’ve got work to do.
nadin: Yes. I remember these times in the combat zone. I just wish I didn’t know that shit. Instead of 3 men would it not be better to use 4 men?
Firefighter: What?
nadin: You said you were using 3 men to pull him up. In Mexico we always used 4 men because it was better.
Firefighter: I said a rope and a 3:1 advantage. That’s a pulley with a 3:1 mechanical advantage.
nadin: Yes. Yes. That is what I knew. We used those in the combat zone all of the time. And the atmospherics?
Firefighter: Look sir, you’re in the way. Now wobble out of the way so we can save that man.
nadin: No need to have a tanter tantrum.
The firefighters are finally able to safely pull the man from the well and later that evening nadin visits her favorite website.
nadin: Yup, got to get to work writting the story of a man who fell a well today. Luckily I was there to give the firefighters assistance. We used some rope and a 3:1 mechanical advantage. They were going to use oh a 4:1 advantage, but I explained to them that with the atmospherics that a 3:1 would be better suited. For those of you who do not have the rescue training that I have a 3:1 mechanical advantage is a type of pullet.
DU Bully: A pullet is a chicken. You probably mean pulley.
nadin: For f*cks face, I’m tired of you paid posters. I will not walk on eggshells except when I do. I have this training. And yup some people with real experience do call a pulley a pullet.
DU Bully: Nope. A pulley is called a pulley. I use them all the time.
nadin: Yes but have you ever used them in a combat zone with bullets flying? I have. Welcome to the iggy list.

This question on should fire fighters sleep on the job caused me to remember a case when a fireman was fired after being found to be a cross dresser. The man did his job so why his off time came into this I do not know.
Were I trapped in a burning building and people came to get me out, I do not give a damn if they come dressed as the Easter Bunny or a Playboy Bunny, a gay or straight person, anyone that got me out of a burning building that was a cross dresser, I would give them a $500.00 gift card to Victories Secrets.
24 hour on call means one is away from home for that time, don't matter if they are on the toilet, changing clothes or eating a meal------they drop everything to respond. They have to face a beast that is feared by everyone and some of them their coworkers or themselves may not come back alive.
Not just the fire, in times of riot in the big city's these firefighters face having bricks thrown at them, being shot and themselves beat up.
The Police are armed so they at least have a chance to defend themselves, the Fire fighters are sitting ducks for the Craze's.
There is no more dangerous job in the States then fighting fires, no more dedicated men and woman for the paid and the volunteer departments.
Volunteers are not paid, they wear beepers to call them in from work, vacation or middle of the night. The ones that leave work to respond loose money to feed their family and pay the rent .
So to be paid to be on the ready to save lives is nonsense.

98. Yes, I get paid for my work, freelance rates and everything, I know shocking.
and the paper has won over 70 awards locally, for investigative work among others. Believe it or not, we do more than just the public announcements.
Hell, we cover crap none others cover, like the well behaved Grossmont Unified High School District.
I know that is a favorite attack by the character assassins locally, but think of it as a local version of truthout, but far less partisan. In fact, we are not partisan, and during the Filner non scandal (for some here it was not a scandal) we were actually called to be on the pocket of the other side within five minutes by both groups, so we are doing something right.
And we also do community service that larger media used to do, and fires in the far east county are now covered by other media because of us. They used to completely ignore them

She bitched about Crazy Miriam refusing to even chip in on her gasoline.
It irritates me that the cousin has yet to go down to Ensenada, to uncover what's happening there.
On the map, it looks just an hour away from her; pocket change for gasoline.
The cousin's one of the typical liberal tightwads though; if someone else isn't paying her way, she won't go.
The cousin, along with the big guy in Bellevue, and drunken Bill, doesn't understand something; to get ahead in life, one must first invest one's own resources, after which others are more willing to help.
In fact, I credit that to my own successes, such as they are, in life--I put some bucks, and some time and effort, into something, and inevitably others, who like what they see, step up to help along.
But one has to first invest one's own resources.

Or next time you go to a wonderful meeting of your local school board.
Bloggers do not do that, the former they simply do not. You know why? You are not credentialed media.
The latter some bloggers do, but they are rare as can be. Or for that matter next time you go and cover multiple fire boards while the county tries to create the San Diego County Fire Authority. That is not what the Penny Saver does either.
Have a good day. For the record I started by blogging. But now, I get paid.
But Crazy Miriam still won't reimburse for gasoline, or even buy batteries for a voice recorder.

104. You are missing it, on purpose
and I think we are done.
You said that we are not media, we are, credentialed and all.
Have an excellent day. And go join all those character assassins, good bye
I really have NO PATIENCE for this shit. NONE.
nadin has a press pass, and Nomex, and a knife (and peanut butter packets) in her boot, and a Good Rig, and everything.

34. Please don't take that comment as representing people here in general
I have nothing but tremendous respect and admiration for firefighters and paramedics. I can't even imagine the kind of bravery and selflessness required to do a job like that.
Didn't Alex sexually objectify firefighters one drunken Saturday night in the not-too-distant past? Something about bringing out the hose to quench a fire in her loins- or something CalPiggyesque like that.
Methinks she found a live one! Reel him in, Alex!

The cousin's hopeless.
I think she should give up posting Skins's island and being a "reporter" for the East Orange News, or whatever it's called, and channel her talents in organizations that better suit her.
I suggest: Hadassah, the Junior League, Feminists for Life, the National Council of Jewish Women, B'nai B'rith, the Anti-Defamation League, Haganah, Irgun, Lehi, Yeshivat Har Etzion, "Stand With Us," Rosh Tzurim, the Simon Wiesenthal Center, the Jewish Defense Organization, and the Comisión Femenil Mexicana Nacional.
Her problem is, on Skins's island and as a "reporter," she's out of her milieu; she needs to get where she belongs, after which she'll become a better person.

I had a moment of curiosity with no cat to kill, so I went to the magazine site for which gNads reports.
Most of the various sites I rummage around in shopping on line will usually have one section for "Employment Opportunities." I did not see such a section for the award winning blog.
My guess is they don't have paid employees, but they do have a feature that enables folks to donate, kinda like 'wishadupe.'

You may notice that the "bullies" have now become "character assassins".

Nutcase nadin reminds DUmmy IronGate once again that it's all about her:

48. When I started in EMS it was in Mexico City
So we were trained to improvise everything. That could come very handy in a major disaster. Give me some cardboard and any cord, para cord, curtain cord or bandages will do, and I will have that arm or leg splinted in a jiffy, and a knife. You literally set the box to your patient.
Then in Tijuana I literally helped to stand up a paramedic program. I lost some folks who simply could not get on with the times. And the idea of radio and medical control, let's put it this way "Emergency 51" made a lot more sense. No, not from medical treatment, but that first episode where they are given the order to cardio convert, we had those fights. The episode where those two take a patient to a private doctors office and...I had that fight. I took a diabetic patient to the private hospital after stabilizing for low blood sugars, connected to the monitor with strip. You know the setup. The private hospital doctor was a pain and questioned why mere ambulance drivers even did any of this and our training, and legalities and ethics. I mean...the horror, we could have killed him. No doc, not giving the glucose bolus could have done that. His sugars were under measurable by glucometer on scene at arrival. We got them all the way to 75 or so. He did not have convulsions and for that I am thankful. Oh and went from not responsive to rather chatty.
So after that, watching emergency took a different feel. From the POV of a mature system it's funny as hell. From the POV of one undergoing birth pains...it is actually true to form.
As to Backdraft, we laughed our asses too, that said due to manpower issues we always took more risks than our counterparts in the US. And while they were calculated risks...they were still higher. But the BA, getting the FF to wear those was a real fight. Real men never wear them you know. I insisted on them. I like my lungs. These days they are pretty much wearing them though. But the late 1970s and 1980s were fun all over. Ask the old firefighters at the station about two major fights, universal precautions and BA wearing. I am sure somebody will want to share the good old days.
nadin is not the DUmmy you'd most like to share a beer with.

You know, the cousin's really odd.
Somewhere on some thread the past few days, she commented that she was an ambulance attendant "in another country."
This secretivity is stupid; what's holding her back from admitting she was an ambulance attendant years ago in Tijuana, Mexico? What's the big deal about keeping the where a secret?
Frank, I am surprised since she worked in Tijuana that she has not made the claim she was the Head Nurse. [ pun intended ]
