Former FF/Medic, trashed out my knee on a fire, had four surgeries and tons of rehab, they still couldn't salvage the knee enough to return to duty. So, I returned to college and was a social worker for 12 years, now I work in a library...still miss the job every day.

5 years + as a volunteer firefighter/first responder paramedic until a friend of my son bought it a block from our home and I was one of the first on the scene. Took years to get over that one.

Calling ALL Firefighters . . . .
"WE" are taking some HEAT (along with cops) on the "Around the Campfire"
forum. See: "Cops buy donut shop"
Of course if you make more than $250,000. to $300,000. on the job,
or retired - you probably shouldn't chime in!
On edit: Looks like the Mods couldn't stand the heat - shut it down.
Worth a look anyway.
