Me?

I am currently working at a Paid/Volunteer Department

we have 7 paid firefighters and 1 paid lieutenant (we are budgeted for 12FF and 3LT) We also have around 250 volunteers.

We have 16 stations all staffed by volunteers. The paid firefighters and LT. currently staff 4 stations. We are under staffed so we don't work a normal shift. We are currently scheduled from Monday-Friday 0700-1700 hours.

We run an average of 8,000+ calls. and serve a population of approximately 110,000 people.

I started volunteering in 2009 and got on with the paid side in 2011. So I've been in the fire service for around 4 years, 2 as a volunteer firefighter and 2 as a paid firefighter.

For some reason when I use the app on my phone, Im blocked from this forum.

My surgery was great. I almost felt like it was a fake surgery. Ofcourse it felt like I did a 1000 situps, but it was bearable. So far Im very happy. Ive had no issues at all. And you?

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
